Abstract
A wet chemical process tank for processing semiconductor wafers equipped with a specially designed fluid dispenser positioned at the bottom of the tank where the dispenser has a fluid dispensing member having an elongated body connected on at least one end to at least one support member for stabilizing the member and a fluid passage therein in fluid communication with a plurality of openings provided on at least one of the vertical sides of the member such that a fluid may only exit the member in a horizontal direction so that bubbles generated do not directly contact the semiconductor wafers suspended at the center of the tank.
