  • Publication number: 20240139780
    Abstract: A substrate cleaning member includes: a first member including a first contact surface, wherein the first member is configured to clean or polish a main surface of a substrate by moving the first contact surface along the main surface while the first contact surface is in contact with the main surface; a second member including a second contact surface, wherein the second member is configured to clean the main surface by moving the second contact surface along the main surface while the second contact surface is in contact with the main surface; a lower-layer member configured to support the second member such that the second contact surface protrudes beyond the first contact surface in an axial direction in which the predetermined axis extends; and a base configured to support the first member, the second member and the lower-layer member.
