Abstract: Semiconductor fabrication component preparation methods are described. In embodiments, the methods include forming a first layer on a surface of the semiconductor fabrication component. The first layer is characterized by a porosity of greater than or about 0.01 vol. %. The methods further include depositing a second layer on the first layer, where the second layer is characterized by a porosity of less than or about 20 vol. %. Treated semiconductor fabrication components are also described. In embodiments, the treated components include a first layer formed in the surface of the semiconductor fabrication component, where the first layer is characterized by a porosity of greater than or about 0.01 vol. %., and a second layer positioned on the first layer, where the second layer is characterized by a porosity of less than or about 20 vol. %.
