RIE chamber cleaning

Have you tried soaking in water?  Metal chlorides tend to be soluble in
water, particularly GaClx.  Presumably, you are using chlorine for the
etch,   Is this correct?

Also, oxygen is not a good choice for the cleaning of metal
chlorides.  Oxidized metal chlorides tend to be much less soluble in water
than the chlorides and are generally much more difficult to remove.
