Abstract

A method of manufacturing an article comprises providing a lid or nozzle for an etch reactor. Ion assisted deposition (IAD) is then performed to deposit a protective layer on at least one surface of the lid or nozzle, wherein the protective layer is a plasma resistant rare earth oxide film having a thickness of less than 300 μm and an average surface roughness of 10 micro-inches or less.
