Abstract

Embodiments described herein relate to a cleaning device and methods for cleaning an object. In one embodiment, the object is cleaned by moving a clean head along a surface of the object. Supercritical carbon dioxide fluid is delivered by supercritical carbon dioxide fluid vessel to the surface of the object. The supercritical carbon dioxide fluid and contamination material are removed from the object by a vacuum pump to a detector.
