ABSTRACT:
A delicate workpiece, such as a semiconductor wafer is cleaned by supporting the workpiece on a shaft which is rotated. A film of liquid solvent is caused to continuously flow across the exposed workpiece surface while the workpiece is in rotation and ultrasonic energy is applied to the liquid film for causing cavitation in the solvent, thereby effecting cleaning of the workpiece surface. Upon shutting off the solvent and the ultrasonic energy, the workpiece is dried by spinning it at high speed.
