Abstract

A method for processing a wafer in a spin, rinse, and dry (SRD) module is provided. The method includes engaging a wafer in a process plane, spinning the wafer in the process plane, and cleaning a top surface and a bottom surface of the wafer while spinning the wafer in the process plane. The process plane is configured to define a process angle with a horizontal plane. The process angle is configured to optimize the performance of the SRD module.
