Abstract

A spin dryer including a rotary stage for supporting a substrate to be dried, particularly adapted for use in producing semiconductor devices, and a stationary cover spaced from the substrate. The stationary cover has at least the same area as that of the substrate and is provided with a number of openings for charging a dry and dust-free gas onto the substrate, whereby oxidation and dust-contamination of the substrate are avoided.
