Method and device for the surface treatment of substrates

Abstract

A method for the surface treatment of a substrate surface of a substrate with the following steps: arrangement of the substrate surface in a process chamber, bombardment of the substrate surface with an ion beam, generated by an ion beam source and aimed at the substrate surface, to remove impurities from the substrate surface, whereby the ion beam has a first component, introduction of a second component into the process chamber to bind the removed impurities. A device for the surface treatment of a substrate surface of a substrate with: a process chamber for receiving the substrate, an ion beam source for generating an ion beam that has a first component and is aimed at the substrate surface to remove impurities from the substrate surface, means to introduce a second component into the process chamber to bind the removed impurities.
