Abstract

A method for conditioning and cleaning a silicon part is provided. The silicon part is heated to a temperature of at least 300° C. in the presence of oxygen to form an outer surface of the silicon part into silicon oxide. The silicon part is placed in a wet bath wherein the bath is a solution that selectively etches silicon oxide with respect to silicon.
