Abstract

The invention relates to a process and to an apparatus for treating semiconductor devices. A hydrogen plasma is created in the vicinity of the semiconductor devices and the positively polarized plasma particles are removed therefrom. A tightly sealed enclosure is provided and contains two plane, parallel electrodes polarized so as to form an anode and a cathode. Heating means are located in the vicinity of the anode.
