Abstract

The present is directed to an apparatus for etching the top edge and bottom of a wafer. The apparatus includes a substrate support part for supporting a wafer and a movable protect part for preventing fluid for an etch from flowing into a non-etch portion of the wafer. The top edge and bottom of the wafer is etched by a wet etch, and a boundary of the non-etch portion and the edge of the wafer is etched by a dry etch.
