In a wafer polishing apparatus which polishes a wafer surface or in a wafer cleaner, there are provided a transfer and cleaning chamber which shuts off a wafer from the outside air and an inert gas supply device which fills an inert gas into the transfer and cleaning chamber. Thus, there are provided a polishing apparatus, a cleaner, a cleaning method and a wafer evacuation program which can prevent the oxidation and modification of a wafer surface in each step, such as the polishing step of a wafer, the transfer step after polishing, the cleaning step after polishing, the drying step after polishing, the inspection step after polishing, and the storage step after polishing. |
