Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor devices includes a supporter portion on which a semiconductor substrate is placed, a nozzle portion for injecting a fluid to an edge of the substrate placed on the supporter portion, a shielding cover for preventing the fluid injected from the nozzle portion from flowing to a shielding portion among a pattern-formed portion, and a shielding cover moving portion device for moving the shielding cover up and down. The apparatus makes it possible to prevent a chemical solution injected to the edge of a wafer from flowing to a shielding portion of the wafer when the wafer edge is etched.
