Problems solved by technology

However, when the amplitude of ultrasonic vibration becomes larger, the air bubbles disappear in a positive cycle, and the shock wave generated at this time will cause damage to the object to be cleaned
Especially in the low-frequency ultrasonic wave below 100kHz, the amplitude of ultrasonic vibration is relatively large, which is easy to cause damage to the object to be cleaned

Abstract

Provided is an ultrasonic cleaning device and ultrasonic cleaning method that can suppress occurrences of damage to substrates being cleaned and, additionally, can carry out cleaning with a high degree of cleanliness for substrates and the like, which have high degrees of precision and are used by the electronics industry and the like. An article (16) being cleaned is held so as to be positioned in the proximity of below the surface of a cleaning fluid outside of a region (ultrasonic exposure region) formed by perpendicular lines extending from an oscillation surface of an ultrasonic transducer (2) to the fluid surface. Capillary waves (20) are formed on the surface of the cleaning fluid by ultrasonic waves, and without directly exposing the article being cleaned (16) to the ultrasonic waves, microparticle contamination on the article being cleaned (16) is detached by the sound pressure made by the capillary waves (20), thus suppressing occurrences of damage to the substrate being cleaned.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic cleaning device and an ultrasonic cleaning method, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning device and an ultrasonic cleaning method capable of performing high-cleanliness cleaning without damaging an object to be cleaned. Background technique [0002] In the electronics industry, the cleaning of glass substrates and silicon wafer substrates requires a high degree of cleanliness. As a method of cleaning such objects to be cleaned, such as substrates, there are a dip method in which a plurality of substrates are immersed in a cleaning solution, and a single sheet method in which a cleaning solution is sprayed on the substrates and the substrates are cleaned one by one. In recent years, the single-sheet system, which can obtain cleaning with a high degree of cleanliness and is also advantageous in terms of cost, is often used. Both the immersion method and the sheet method are cleaning methods in which u...
