Abstract

Carbon members contaminated with deposits of metals and/or metal compounds such as nitrides or carbides are thoroughly cleaned with little adverse influences on the carbon members themselves by treating the contaminated carbon members with a cleaning gas consisting of 1-20 vol % of CIF.sub.3 gas and the balance of an inactive diluent gas at a temperature in the range from 200.degree. to 300.degree. C. For example, this cleaning method is applicable to graphite parts of apparatus for forming thin films in the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
