To provide a method of fabricating a silicon part which has enhanced corrosion resistance and is particularly suitable for use in plasma or other reactive environments.
The method of fabricating the silicon part includes: (a) providing a silicon sample using a cyclic silicon growth process comprising: (a1) initiating silicon growth in a first inert gas atmosphere for a first time period; (a2) continuing silicon growth in a reducing gas atmosphere for a second time period; (a3) continuing silicon growth in a second inert gas atmosphere for a third time period; and (a4) performing (a2) and (a3) for a sufficient number of cycles until desired properties are obtained for the silicon sample; (b) machining the silicon sample to form a part; and (c) annealing the part. The annealing (c) may use an improved annealing process comprising successively exposing the part to one or more kinds of gases.
