Abstract

Disclosed are a method for cleaning a substrate, an apparatus for cleaning a substrate, and a method for fabricating a semiconductor device using the same. The method may include cleaning a substrate in a wet process, providing a supercritical fluid onto the substrate to remove moisture from the substrate, and cleaning the substrate in a dry process to remove defect particles from a substrate, which are produced by the supercritical fluid.
