A semiconductor cleaning method for removing particles that have adhered to the back side of a semiconductor wafer. The semiconductor wafer is placed on a support. Inert gas is blown against the back of the semiconductor wafer by a plurality of nozzles, each of which is positioned at a predetermined angle to the back of the semiconductor wafer and inclined in a first direction. An air exhaust is located near the periphery of the semiconductor wafer and arranged so as to suck in the particles removed from the semiconductor wafer with the nozzles.
摘要:
There are provided body movement measuring means for measuring the movement of an object of inspection and control means for controlling at least means for applying a gradient magnetic field and means for applying a high frequency magnetic field. The control means performs a sequence for measuring an echo by applying a phase-encoding gradient magnetic field quantity a plurality of times with the same phase-encoding gradient magnetic field quantity and repeatedly executes the sequence while varying the phase-encoding gradient magnetic field quantity. When the phase-encoding gradient magnetic field quantity is small, the number of execution times of the sequence executed with the same phase-encoding gradient magnetic field quantity in a case where the phase-encoding gradient magnetic field quantity is small is set to be larger than a case where the phase encoding gradient magnetic field quantity is large to reduce the probability of omission occurrence of echo measurement in the small phase-encoding magnetic field which exerts a large influence on an image, thereby suppressing the occurrence of an artifact.
