Abstract

See full text

A spin chuck and a process of operating the same display improved resistance to backsplash by provision of a media collecting ring mounted on the spin chuck. The media collecting ring surrounds a wafer to be processed and includes a radially-inwardly extending upper portion having an obliquely-angled downwardly-facing surface positioned above an upper surface of a wafer held in the device. The device moreover includes a stationary chamber surrounding the spin chuck equipped with at least two superposed collecting baffles. During treatment, liquid collected by the media collecting ring is preferably discharged radially outwardly through a series of holes formed in the ring, so as to pass between a pair of the superposed collecting baffles of the chamber.
