Abstract

A method of cleaning a semiconductor wafer includes: loading a semiconductor wafer into a cell having an annular trough; moving a plurality of nozzles into operational orientations for spraying a cleaning solution onto a top surface of the loaded semiconductor wafer; spraying the cleaning solution from each nozzle onto the top surface of the loaded semiconductor wafer in a direction defined by each nozzle's operational orientation such that a patterned flow of cleaning solution is formed on the top surface of the loaded semiconductor wafer; and collecting the cleaning solution in the annular trough of the cell as it flows off the top surface of the loaded semiconductor wafer.
