Abstract

See full text

In a process for treating a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer, a processing fluid is selectively applied or excluded from an outer peripheral margin of at least one of the front or back sides of the workpiece. Exclusion and/or application of the processing fluid occurs by applying one or more processing fluids to the workpiece while the workpiece and a reactor holding the workpiece are spinning. The flow rate of the processing fluids, fluid pressure, and/or spin rate are used to control the extent to which the processing fluid is selectively applied or excluded from the outer peripheral margin.
