There is proposed an apparatus and method for cleaning a semiconductor substrate, which make it possible to minimize the adhesion of mist in a cleaning tank at the occasion of cleaning a semiconductor substrate, to realize a-high removal effect of residual polishing particles, and to enable to obtain a clean surface. In view of preventing a mist generated by the jet of high pressure water from re-adhering to the substrate during the cleaning of a semiconductor substrate, a cover member is disposed at a mist-generating region so as-to prevent the splash of the mist. Additionally, a cavity is caused to generate by contacting a high pressure water with a still water, and high-frequency generated by the generation of the cavity is utilized for removing the residual polishing particles. Alternatively, the ejection of high pressure water against the surface of the substrate is performed in a liquid phase such-as ultrapure water, thereby preventing the generation of mist.
