Abstract
The present disclosure describes a chuck-based device and a method for cleaning a semiconductor manufacturing system. The semiconductor manufacturing system can include a chamber, a chuck housed in the chamber and configured to hold a substrate, and a control device configured to control a translational displacement and a rotation of the chuck. The chuck can include a passage extending along a periphery of the chuck and dividing the chuck into an inner portion and an outer sidewall portion, and a first multiple of openings through the outer sidewall portion of the chuck and interconnected with the passage. The passage can be configured to transport a fluid. The first multiple of openings can be configured to dispense the fluid.
