  • Patent number: 11806763
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a substrate cleaning device includes a processing tank, at least one spray tube, and a scanning mechanism. The processing tank can accommodate a plurality of substrates arranged in a thickness direction of the substrates. The spray tube extends in the thickness direction and is configured to emit a cleaning liquid to each substrate accommodated in the processing tank. The scanning mechanism is configured to move the spray tube along an outer periphery of the substrate to perform a scan.
