Disclosed herein is a method for applying plasma-resistant coatings for use in semiconductor processing apparatus. The coatings are applied over a substrate which typically comprises an aluminum alloy of the 2000 series or the 5000 through 7000 series. The coating typically comprises an oxide or a fluoride of Y, Sc, La, Ce, Eu, Dy, or the like, or yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG). The coating may further comprise about 20 volume % or less of Al2O3. The coatings are typically applied to a surface of an aluminum alloy substrate or an anodized aluminum alloy substrate using a technique selected from the group consisting of thermal / flame spraying, plasma spraying, sputtering, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). To provide the desired corrosion resistance, it is necessary to place the coating in compression. This is accomplished by controlling deposition conditions during application of the coating.

After a mask is carried into a reserve room for temporarily storing before carrying into a mask room filled with specific gas that has an impurity concentration lower than a first concentration (e.g. 1 ppb) and that has a characteristic of absorbing little exposure light, gas-replacement mechanisms replace gas in the reserve room with specific gas having an oxygen concentration not lower than the first concentration. Therefore, when subsequently carrying the mask into the mask room, impurities from the outside (including absorbent gas) can be substantially prevented from getting into the optical path inside the mask room. When replacing a wafer, gas in a reserve room is also replaced in the same way as the above.
