摘要:
An apparatus for cleaning a wafer includes a rotary chuck for supporting and rotating a wafer, a cleaning solution supply unit for supplying a cleaning solution onto the wafer, a bowl spaced apart from and surrounding the rotary chuck, and a protrusion portion protruded from the rotary chuck and having a slope face with respect to the rotary chuck. The protrusion portion can prevent an ascending air stream from being generated by a vortex when the rotary chuck rotates. A guide member can be positioned between the bowl and the rotary chuck to guide the cleaning solution downwardly to a bottom portion of the bowl. A protector can extend from an inner side surface of the guide member toward the rotary chuck, to prevent an ascending air stream caused by the vortex.

In a substrate transfer robot and a substrate cleaning apparatus, the substrate transfer robot transfers substrates between a container supported by a load port and a processing module for cleaning the substrates. The substrate transfer robot includes a driving member that provides a driving force to transfer the substrates, a blade that transfers the substrates using the driving force, and a sensor that senses impurities existing on the blade. When the impurities are detected, a controller can control the operation of the driving member. Thus, the contamination of other substrates in the container can be effectively prevented.
摘要:
There is provided a cleaning solution spraying unit. The cleaning solution spraying unit comprises a number of nozzles installed in a nozzle base, along a top surface of a wafer, and radially spraying a cleaning solution on the wafer, wherein the nozzle base is positioned above the wafer; and a power unit rotating the nozzles at a predetermined angle relative to a line extending perpendicularly from the top surface of the wafer. In addition, provided is a wafer cleaning apparatus including the cleaning solution spraying unit with the above-described constitution.
