Abstract

Megasonic cleaning system for use in cleaning of electronic or other items such as semiconductor wafers or semiconductor substrates in a wafer carrier. Formed piezoelectric transducers are bonded to a tubular envelope at a low temperature and are excited at a first frequency or a second higher frequency for cleaning of items in a cleaning tank. A novel sealing assembly accommodates tubular envelopes of varying diameters.
