Abstract

A cleaning apparatus 1 includes a foup loading / unloading part 2 for mounting foups F each accommodating a plurality of wafers W at intervals of a constant pitch (normal pitch), a rotor 34 capable of holding the wafers W at half the normal pitch (half pitch), a wafer transporting device 11 for transporting the wafer E between the foup F and the rotor 34, wafer posture changing devices 20 a, 20 b, a wafer elevating mechanism 40, a motor 31 for rotating the rotor 34, an outer chamber 71 a and an inner chamber 71 b both accommodating the rotor 34, and cleaning liquid nozzles 53, 55 for supplying a cleaning liquid to the wafers W. The rotor 34 holds the wafers W at intervals of an optional pitch (every one holding pitch or every plural holding pitches) to carry out a cleaning operation. Consequently, it is possible to process substrates accommodated in two containers at one batch processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a liquid processing device and a liquid processing method for applying predetermined liquid processing to each substrate such as a semiconductor wafer and an LCD substrate. Background technique [0002] Generally, in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, a prescribed chemical solution is used? Treating liquids such as pure water are used to treat semiconductor wafers (hereinafter referred to as wafers) as substrates, and use wafer liquid processing equipment to remove contamination such as particles, organic pollutants, metal impurities, organic substances, and oxide films from the wafers. [0003] For example, as far as wafer liquid processing apparatus is concerned, it is well known that a plurality of wafers are accommodated in a liquid processing chamber for batch processing. Such an apparatus generally handles wafers in units of trays (wafer storage containers). The tray accommodates a predetermined...
