In this controller, in order to clean an object to be cleaned 51 such as a wafer, first the lid 32a is opened and the object to be cleaned 5 is placed in the cleaning tank 33.
After putting 1 in, the lid 32a is closed to seal the inside of the pressure vessel 32. After that, a cleaning start command is given using the operation panel or the like. This allows the initial state, i.e. all valves 3
6,41,42,44,46 are set to the closed state. Next, the third
As shown in the flowchart of the figure, first, the water supply valve 36 and the first drainage valve 41 are opened, and the pure water 35 is replaced with the cleaning tank 33.
The pure water 35 which is supplied into the cleaning tank 33 and overflows from the upper end of the cleaning tank 33 is drained from the first drain pipe 39 (step S1). In this way, the pure water 35 is flown for a certain period of time to blow and wash the flow path and the container system, and then the water supply valve 36 and the drain valve are closed. Subsequently, as shown in step S2, the gas supply valve 46 is opened, and gas is supplied from the gas cylinder (not shown) into the pressurizing container 32 to be pressurized. When the inside of the pressure vessel 32 is pressurized to a predetermined pressure, the gas supply valve 46 is closed. Next, as shown in step S3, the dielectric heating unit 34 applies microwaves of several tens of GHz to heat the pure water 35 to a predetermined temperature. In this case, the predetermined temperature is kept lower than the boiling point in the pressurized state by the predetermined pressure and higher than the boiling point (100 ° C.) of the pure water 35 at 1 atm to prevent bumping. Then step S4
Then, the decompression valve 44 is opened, and the pressure in the pressure vessel 32 is reduced to the atmospheric pressure (about 1 atm). Due to this depressurization, the pure water 35 rapidly exceeds the boiling point, and a bumping phenomenon occurs inside the pure water 35. Due to this bumping phenomenon, as described in the above experimental example, the pure water 35 reaches the inside of the fine groove such as the trench groove,
A sufficient cleaning effect can be obtained. Thereafter, as shown in step S5, the first and second drain valves 41 and 42 are opened to drain the pure water 35, and a series of sequences are completed to complete the cleaning process. After that, the article to be cleaned 51 is dried.

1. A pressure container, a cleaning liquid container provided in the pressure container, a cleaning liquid supply unit for supplying a cleaning liquid into the cleaning liquid container, and a pressure unit for pressurizing the inside of the pressure container. Heating means for heating the cleaning liquid supplied into the cleaning liquid container, decompressing means for decompressing the inside of the pressure vessel, and pressurizing the cleaning liquid to a predetermined pressure higher than atmospheric pressure by the pressurizing means, and heating the same. The cleaning liquid is heated to a temperature lower than the boiling point at the predetermined pressure and higher than the boiling point at the atmospheric pressure by means, and then the cleaning liquid is heated to the atmospheric pressure by the pressure reducing means while maintaining the high temperature state. The pressure means, so as to reduce the pressure all at once,
A cleaning device comprising: a control unit that controls the driving of the heating unit and the decompression unit to cause the cleaning liquid to bump.
