PURPOSE: To enable a cleaning device where a semiconductor wafer is chemically treated and cleaned with pure water to be enhanced in throughput and to prevent dried water droplet marks and a natural oxide film from being produced on the surface of wafers in transit.
CONSTITUTION: Treating chambers 2, 3, 4, and 5 are continuously connected together, a rotating device 13 equipped with a rotary disc 10 which holds a wafer 11 is made to move through the chambers 2 to 5 one after another. At this point, partitioning panels 22, 32, and 42 of the chambers 2 to 5 are made to recede upwards. Spray nozzles 21, 31, 41, and 51 are provided inside the chambers 2 to 5 respectively, and discharge orifices 23, 33, 43, and 53 of waste liquid are also provided respectively.
