  • Publication number: 20210233782
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for cleaning an in-process wafer. The method comprises causing the in-process wafer to be rotated, causing function water to be applied to a surface of the rotated in-process wafer to generate a flowing function water film on the rotated in-process wafer, causing the surface of the in-process wafer to be cleaned by a sonic device for a first period, causing the sonic device to be lifted and/or rotation speed of the rotated in-process wafer to be accelerated to separate the sonic device from the flowing function water film, causing the function water to be applied to the surface of the rotated in-process wafer for a second period after separating the sonic device from the function water film, and causing the surface of the in-process wafer to be dried.
