Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate to a cleaning device and methods for cleaning an object. In one embodiment, the object is cleaned by moving a clean head along a surface of the object. Supercritical carbon dioxide fluid is delivered by supercritical carbon dioxide fluid vessel to the surface of the object. The supercritical carbon dioxide fluid and contamination material are removed from the object by a vacuum pump to a detector. One or more measurements of the contamination material are determined by the detector. Samples of the contamination material are collected by a collector. A contamination level of the surface of the object is determined by an analyzer.
