2. Description of the Related Art An example of the structure and operation of a substrate cleaning apparatus for cleaning a substrate with a cleaning brush will be briefly described.
A substrate, for example, a semiconductor wafer is held in a horizontal posture on the upper surface side of the spin chuck by vacuum suction, and while the substrate held by the spin chuck is rotated around a vertical axis, a cleaning liquid is supplied onto the substrate and the brush holding arm is rotated. The brush rotating shaft is rotated, and the cleaning brush fixed to the rotating shaft and held in a suspended state by the brush holding arm is rotated while being lowered from the upper position to bring the lower end of the cleaning brush close to the substrate surface, Cleaning the substrate by moving the rotating cleaning brush on the substrate along the surface of the rotating substrate while the lower end of the cleaning brush is in contact with or close to the substrate surface. To do. In such a substrate cleaning apparatus, the cleaning brush that has deteriorated due to use is replaced, or the type of cleaning brush is changed according to the type of substrate and the purpose of cleaning. Therefore, the cleaning brush can be attached to the brush rotating shaft of the brush holding arm, and the cleaning brush can be removed from the brush rotating shaft.

A cleaning brush is composed of a brush holder and a brush main body. As the brush main body, one formed by implanting a large number of bristles on the lower surface side is generally used, but recently, for example, Those made of polyvinyl alcohol as a raw material and made of a hydrophilic sponge-like porous material have begun to be used. Conventionally, a cleaning brush in which a brush main body made of such a porous material is attached to a brush holder is conventionally stored in a container in a dry state, stored and transported, and used for cleaning by a user in a semiconductor manufacturing factory or the like. Before using the brush, fully impregnate the brush body with a cleaning solution such as pure water, moisten the brush body once, and then wash the brush using a dummy substrate, and then perform line operation. Was doing. However, the brush body made of a hydrophilic sponge-like porous material is hard and has no elasticity in the dry state, and is impregnated with pure water to soften it until it can be used. Therefore, it takes a considerable amount of time, and a lot of time such as 30 minutes to 6 hours is spent before the line operation starts.

As shown in FIG. 3, the brush rotary shaft 54 to which the cleaning brush 10 is attached has a flange portion 56 integrally formed near the lower end thereof, and a portion on the lower end side of the flange portion 56. Reference numeral 58 denotes the locking portion 22 of the cleaning brush 10.
Is formed in the shape of a square rod that fits into a square hole 26 formed in the center of the upper end surface of the. Further, the male screw 2 of the locking portion 22 of the cleaning brush 10 is attached to the flange portion 56 of the brush rotating shaft 54.
A nut 60 in which a female screw threaded to 4 is threaded is rotatably engaged and held around the brush rotary shaft 54. Then, in order to attach the cleaning brush 10 to the brush rotating shaft 54, first, the lid 42 of the storage container 38 is removed to open the upper surface of the container body 40, and the upper surface side of the brush holder of the cleaning brush 10 is attached. The container body 40 is in a state of being viewed through the top opening. Next, while the cleaning brush 10 is stored in the container body 40, the container body 40 is held by hand to bring the cleaning brush 10 close to the brush rotation shaft 54 from below, and the square hole 26 of the engaging portion 22 is rotated. The shaft 54 is fitted into the rectangular bar portion 58 at the lower end. Then, while holding the container body 40 by hand, the nut 6 is attached to the male screw 24 of the locking portion 22.
Screw 0 and tighten. At this time, the nut 60 is manually rotated while the female screw of the nut 60 is screwed into the male screw 24 of the locking portion 22, but the rotation notch 36 of the lower holding portion 14 of the brush holder is not removed. Container body 4
Since it engages with the upper end portion of the rotation-preventing rod-shaped projection 44 on the inner peripheral surface of 0, by holding the container body 40 by hand, the cleaning brush 10 rotates together even if the nut 60 is rotated. There is nothing to do. As described above, when the cleaning brush 10 is attached to the brush rotating shaft 54 as shown in FIG. 3, the container body 40 is pulled downward to raise the cleaning brush 1
Extract from 0. During this time, the series of operations described above is performed without touching the cleaning brush 10 at all.
