Abstract

An ultrasonic bath (30) is arranged below a wafer processing bath (10). Wafers (40) are processed while ultrasonic waves are transmitted from the ultrasonic bath (30) to the wafer processing bath (10). The wafers (40) are processed while being entirely dipped into the wafer processing bath (10) and rotated by wafer rotating rods (53).
