An apparatus for removing one or more backside particles from a semiconductor substrate. The apparatus includes a substrate support member adapted to support the semiconductor substrate. The substrate has a substrate diameter, a substrate frontside, and a substrate backside. The apparatus also includes a curing ring having an annular shape and a curing ring support member adapted to position the curing ring at a predetermined distance from the backside of the semiconductor substrate, thereby defining a removal region. The apparatus further includes a phase change material dispense system adapted to provide a phase change material to the removal region and an ultraviolet source adapted to irradiate the phase change material.
