Claim 8:
9. An apparatus for modifying a surface of a substrate, comprising: a process chamber configured to remove residue or oxide from the surface of the substrate with a remote plasma source (RPS) that is fluidly coupled to a top of the process chamber and configured to produce an ionized gas mixture with radicals that flow into a processing volume of the process chamber via a plenum and showerhead positioned at the top of the process chamber; and a first gas delivery system with a first ampoule connected to a sidewall of the process chamber and configured to provide at least one first chemical directly into the processing volume of the process chamber to produce a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the surface of the substrate.
