Abstract

This disclosure provides a wafer processing method having the following steps: providing a wafer (10), an immersion device (100), a carrier (200), and a spray device (300); turning the wafer (10) from a horizontal manner to an upright manner; upright placing the wafer (10) into the immersion device (100) for immersion; taking the wafer (10) out from the immersion device (100) and placing that onto the carrier (200) horizontally; spraying a liquid on the wafer (10) by the spray device (300); rinsing the wafer (10); rotating the carrier (200) to dry the wafer (10). Multiple steps for processing the wafer (10) may be performed on the same carrier (200) to accelerate the process.
