The invention provides treatment systems useful to treat microelectronic workpieces with one or more treatment fluids dispensed onto a workpieces from one or more nozzle assemblies. The nozzle assemblies are easily moveable and positionable to change distance and/or angle of nozzle orientation relative to the substrates being treated. The nozzle assemblies are easily and quickly adjustable on demand. Adjustment may be manual or automated. The present invention is based at least in part upon coupling the nozzle directly or indirectly to a flexible bellows. As the bellows is flexed up or down or tilted, etc., the nozzle is moved in a corresponding manner. For example, the nozzle outlet can be moved closer or further away from the surface of the substrate being processed. The angle of the nozzle assembly, and hence the angle of the spray dispensed from the nozzle, with respect to the substrate can also be altered if desired.
