Publication number: 20240321598Abstract: A substrate cleaning device includes a substrate holder, a lower-surface brush, a first liquid nozzle and a second liquid nozzle. The substrate holder holds a substrate in a horizontal attitude. The lower-surface brush is configured to be movable between a processing position for cleaning of the substrate and a waiting position that overlaps with the substrate held by the substrate holder in an up-and-down direction. Further, the lower-surface brush is configured to be rotatable about an axis extending in the up-and-down direction. The lower-surface brush cleans a lower surface of the substrate by coming into contact with the lower surface of the substrate. The first liquid nozzle discharges a cleaning liquid to a center portion of the lower-surface brush, at a waiting position. The second liquid nozzle discharges a cleaning liquid to an end portion of the lower-surface brush, at the waiting position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Takuma TAKAHASHI, Tomoyuki SHINOHARA, Junichi ISHII, Kazuki NAKAMURA, Takashi SHINOHARA, Nobuaki OKITA, Yoshifumi OKADA

Patent number: 12036583Abstract: A cleaner comes into contact with a lower-surface center region of a substrate held by a first holder, so that the lower-surface center region is cleaned. The cleaner comes into contact with a lower-surface outer region of the substrate rotated by a second holder, so that the lower-surface outer region of the substrate is cleaned. During cleaning of the lower-surface center region, the second holder is rotated about a vertical axis while not holding the substrate.
