Abstract

This invention provides a cleaning method of cleaning a laser mark formed on a semiconductor wafer. A semiconductor wafer is rotated in a circumferential direction, and a laser mark is detected indirectly or directly in a non-contact manner. Rotation of the semiconductor wafer is controlled on the basis of detection of the laser mark, and an ultrasonic vibration-applied processing solution is sprayed to the laser mark.
