PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology which prevents a washing liquid from staying in internal joints of a washing tub at the time of washing a semiconductor wafer and exhausting the washing liquid, and which shortens the drain-off time. SOLUTION: The washing tub 8 comprises four side faces 8a, 8b, 8c, and 8d which are integrally formed into one unit. The side faces 8a-8d are each constituted of a rectangular, for example, nearly square-shaped flat surface. The washing tub 8 has a bottom, and is constructed by joining the four side faces 8a-8d to one another and then jointing the four side faces 8a-8d to a bottom face 8e constituted of a flat surface having nearly the same shape as those of the side faces 8a-8d. The internal joints 8f, 8g, 8h, and 8i of the four side faces 8a-8d of the washing tub 8 are formed into, for example, an arcuate cross-sectional shape. Internal joints 8j, 8k, 8m, and 8n for joining the four side faces 8a-8d and the bottom face 8e are also formed into the arcuate cross-sectional shape of nearly the same shape, just like the internal joints 8f-8i.
