Abstract

A substrates-washing apparatus includes a process vessel in which washing solution is stored to wash a plurality of substrates, a boat for holding the substrates parallel to one another in the process vessel, solution supply openings formed in the bottom of the process vessel, a solution supply system communicated with the solution supply openings to supply washing solution into the process vessel through the solution supply openings, and a straightening plate arranged between the substrates held on the boat and the solution supply openings in the bottom of the process vessel and provided with a plurality of apertures through which washing solution passes. The apertures form plural lines in the longitudinal direction of the straightening plate, the apertures in each line are arranged to correspond to the substrates alternately, and the apertures in one line are shifted from those in the other adjacent line.
