Method of removing debris from cleaning pads in work piece cleaning equipment

摘要

The cleaning pads (102, 104) that are used to clean work pieces (200), such as semiconductor wafers, are cyclically compressed against one another and rinsed with a rinsing fluid. By cyclically compressing the cleaning pads (102, 104) together and rinsing them, the debris that the cleaning pads remove from the work pieces (200) and that becomes embedded in, and adhered to, the cleaning pads (102, 104) is subsequently removed therefrom.
