First, in the batch cleaning method shown in FIG.
By immersing the substrate 31 (and further applying ultrasonic vibration), foreign substances (particles and contaminant metal components) on the substrate surface
Is removed. Further, the vibrator 35 is tilted by tilting the substrate.
The effect of this is to make it more efficient. However, the foreign matter that has come out of the cleaning liquid may approach the surface of the substrate 31 again because it floats in the liquid, and easily adheres to the surface of the substrate 31 again. Further, when pulling up the substrate 31 from the cleaning liquid,
The foreign substances floating on the liquid surface are raised with the lifting of the substrate 31.
Since the liquid is attracted to the substrate 31 by the surface tension of the liquid on the surface of the substrate 31, re-attachment of particles and the like is remarkable, and there is a problem that a high foreign matter removing effect cannot be obtained.

In the single-wafer cleaning method shown in FIG. 4, the efficiency of the replacement of the cleaning liquid and the rinsing liquid 49 near the center of the substrate is low because the flow of the liquid is not uniform on the horizontally disposed substrate 41. , The residence time on the surface of the substrate 41 becomes longer,
There is a problem that the foreign matter once removed from the surface of the substrate 41 is likely to adhere again. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to prevent stagnation of the liquid as much as possible, and it has disadvantages such as the necessity of using a large amount of a cleaning liquid and a rinsing liquid.

First, in the cleaning room 20, the substrate 1 is conveyed and the cleaning liquid 8 from the cleaning shower 4 is shut off by the air curtain 6 before the air curtain 6, so that the substrate 1 is not exposed to the cleaning liquid 8. The substrate is further transported.
When one end passes through the air curtain 6, the cleaning liquid 8 is supplied to the portion that has passed, and the cleaning process is started. As the transfer of the substrate proceeds sequentially, the entire substrate is cleaned by the cleaning liquid 8. Next, when the substrate 1 is transported to the vicinity of the exit of the cleaning chamber 20, the cleaning liquid 8 on the substrate 1 is blown off by the air knife 3, and the substrate 1 is dried.

Next, the substrate 1 transferred to the rinsing chamber 21 is not exposed to the rinsing liquid 9 because the rinsing liquid 9 is not initially supplied by the air curtain 6 in substantially the same manner as the processing in the preceding cleaning chamber 20. After passing through the air curtain 6, the rinsing liquid 9 is supplied by the rinsing shower 5, and the cleaning liquid 8 remaining on the front and back surfaces of the substrate 1 is washed away. Next, the substrate 1
Is transported to the vicinity of the exit of the rinsing chamber 21, the rinsing liquid 9 on the substrate 1 is blown off by the air knife 3, and the substrate 1 is dried.

Next, the substrate 1 conveyed to the drying chamber 22 is first supplied to the pure water 10 because the air curtain 6 does not supply the pure water 10 at first, almost in the same manner as in the cleaning chamber 20 and the rinsing chamber 21 in the preceding stage. Although not exposed, pure water 10 is supplied by the pure water shower 5 after passing through the air curtain 6 to rinse off the rinsing liquid 9 remaining on the surface of the substrate 1, and then the substrate 1 is transported to near the outlet of the drying chamber 22. The pure water 10 on the substrate 1 is blown off by the air knives 3 installed in two stages, and the substrate 1 is completely dried.

In the above-described multi-stage processing, since the substrate 1 has the angle θ (5 to 30 °), the supplied cleaning liquid 8, rinsing liquid 9, and pure water 10 (hereinafter referred to collectively as processing liquid). Flows in one direction downward (from right to left in the figure) due to the inclination of the substrate 1. When the processing liquid flows in one direction from the upper side to the lower side, the processing liquid on the surface of the substrate 1 is efficiently replaced without staying, and a uniform and high cleaning / rinsing effect can be obtained. Furthermore, since the cleaning liquid does not stay and the new processing liquid is supplied to the upper side, foreign substances such as particles floating from the substrate surface due to the processing such as cleaning are hardly reattached, so that a high foreign substance removing effect can be obtained. Here, the inclination angle θ of the substrate 1 needs to be 5 ° or more in order to create a smooth flow without the treatment liquid on the substrate surface remaining.

Further, under the substrate 1, as shown in FIG. 2, a flow of compressed air is generated by the air curtain 6, and the cleaning liquid 8 (or the rinsing liquid 9, pure water 10) flows out below the air curtain 6. Is preventing that. Here, if the inclination of the substrate 1 is 30 ° or more, the flow of the processing liquid is too fast, and it is difficult to stop the flow by the air curtain 6, so that the inclination angle θ of the substrate 1 is 30 ° or less. is necessary.

By the air curtain 6 and the air knife 3, the processing liquid in each processing tank does not flow out of the processing tank.
In addition to the effect of reducing the amount of the processing liquid used, the processing liquid is exposed only between the air curtain 6 and the air knife 3, so that the distance between the air curtain 6 and the air knife 3 and the transport speed within the substrate surface are reduced. Processing can be performed for an equal amount of time, and uniform processing can be performed.
