This method of cleaning a semiconductor wafer can reliably reduce the LPD count on the wafer surface. The method includes a first step of measuring a contact angle of a surface of a semiconductor wafer under conditions in which a volume of a droplet dripped on the surface differs, a second step of calculating a ratio of change in a measured value of the contact angle to change in the volume of the droplet based on a relationship between the volume of the droplet and the measured value of the contact angle under the conditions, a third step of determining whether pretreatment is necessary for the semiconductor wafer surface based on the ratio, a fourth step of performing the pretreatment on the semiconductor wafer surface according to the determining in the third step, and a fifth step of subsequently performing single-wafer spin cleaning on the semiconductor wafer surface.
A method of cleaning a semiconductor wafer, the method comprising:
