The fluid treatment apparatus, as disclosed, comprises upper and lower Bernoulli-plates 12 and 14, each of which includes a metal plate 25 provided on overall outer surface thereof. On each of the metal plates 25, there is arranged a spiral-shaped circulating pipe 24 through which a heating medium or a cooling medium are circulated so as to rapidly heat or cool the upper and lower Bernoulli-plates. During the treatment of a wafer 16 by the apparatus, the upper and lower Bernoulli-plates are disposed in parallel with each other to define a narrow gap therebetween while a clearance between the wafer 16 and the upper Bernoulli-plate and a clearance between the wafer 16 and the lower Bernoulli-plate are kept to be equal to each other. Thus, the present invention can achieve various purpose such as a time saving for the cleaning, reduction of consumption of the cleaning liquid and inhibition of cleaning irregularity.
