Abstract

See full text

Method and apparatus for cleaning a workpiece such as a semiconductor element in which the element is placed on a chuck mounted on a rotation mechanism in which the rotation mechanism rotates around a first axis, and the element to be cleaned rotates around a second axis spaced from the first axis in a planetary manner. The cleaning process is programmed such that the element may be sprayed, immersed for a soak or pre-soak step, immersed while spinning, sprayed while spinning, and dried by heated gas, or any combination of these. The cleaning program is performed in a single chamber, which may be heated to a desired temperature.
