Abstract
A device for cleaning semiconductor wafers with a cleaning liquid, includes a cleaning station with a plurality of rotating pairs of rollers which are arranged one behind another and to which the cleaning liquid is applied. Each pair of rollers is formed by a top roller and a bottom roller, and the semiconductor wafer is conveyed between the pairs of rollers. There is also a conveyor means for conveying the semiconductor wafer to and from the cleaning station. The conveyor means has a film of conveyor liquid which is provided by the conveyor and on which the semiconductor wafer is conveyed. A supplying container provides the cleaning liquid to the top rollers in the form of a falling liquid which migrates over the rollers. There is also a method for cleaning semiconductor wafers in which such a device is used.
