The disclosure relates to using a single chamber for multiple treatments resulting in a semiconductor chip having an interconnect. An exemplary process many include forming a via to expose several layers of a microchip. The layers may include, pattered dielectric layer, a capping layer, a first metal layer and an insulator. A surface modification step is then implemented to modify and/or densify the treated surfaces of the dielectric surface. A metal compound removal step is then implemented to remove metal compounds from the bottom of the via. Finally, the via is filled with a conductive material. The surface modification and the metal compound removal steps are implemented in one chamber.
