Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a pattern on a surface of a semiconductor substrate; placing the substrate on a platform of a substrate treatment apparatus; rotating the wafer while applying a cleaning liquid from a first nozzle and a wetting liquid from a second nozzle to treat a first region on the surface of the substrate; vertically changing the distance of the second nozzle together with the first nozzle with respect to the platform; after the vertical change, rotating the wafer while applying the cleaning liquid from the first nozzle and the wetting liquid from the second nozzle to treat a second region on the surface of the substrate; and forming a semiconductor device from the treated substrate.
