A processing system for integrated substrate processing in a substrate processing tool. The processing system contains a substrate holder configured for supporting and controlling the temperature of the substrate, a hot filament hydrogen radical source for generating hydrogen radicals, and a controller configured for controlling the processing system. The hot filament hydrogen radical source includes a showerhead assembly containing an internal volume and a showerhead plate having gas passages facing the substrate for exposing the substrate to the hydrogen radicals, and at least one metal wire filament within the internal volume to thermally dissociate H<SUB>2 </SUB>gas into the hydrogen radicals.
