Abstract: PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for cleaning a semiconductor substrate are provided to simplify liquid waste treatment, to reduce the amount of a chemical solution used, and to permit an efficient cleaning at room temperature or at low temperature, by using an ammonia solution including ozone as a cleaning solution. CONSTITUTION: Ammonia, pure water and ozone are supplied to a mixing tank(2) from an ammonia tank(4), a pure water tank and an ozone generator(5), and then mixed to form the cleaning solution. Preferably, ammonia and pure water are mixed to a volume ratio of 0.001-0.01:5. The cleaning solution is supplied to a cleaning bath(1) through the first filter(12) for removing ozone bubbles. Next, a megasonic transducer(3-1) applies a megasonic force to the cleaning solution in the bath(1). Next, the semiconductor substrate is immersed in the bath(1), and then impurities on a substrate surface are removed at room temperature. Alternatively, the cleaning method may be performed at low temperature by circulating the cleaning solution in the bath(1) through a circulation line(b) and a chiller(9).
