Abstract
A megasonic cleaning apparatus is provided for removing contamination particles on a wafer. The megasonic cleaning apparatus includes a piezoelectric transducer and an energy transfer rod. The piezoelectric transducer is for generating megasonic energy. The energy transfer rod installed over the wafer along a radial direction of the wafer is for distributing the megasonic energy to cleaning solution over the wafer and for vibrating the cleaning solution. The energy transfer rod is shaped and sized to uniformly distribute energy in the radial direction of the wafer through the cleaning solution to remove the contamination particles from the wafer.
