Cleaning module, substrate processing apparatus including cleaning module, and cleaning method

Abstract

To perform both buff cleaning of a substrate surface and cleaning of an edge part of the substrate, a cleaning module includes: a rotary table configured to support a circular substrate and have a diameter smaller than a diameter of the substrate; a buff cleaning portion configured to buff clean a front side of the substrate while contacting the front side of the substrate supported by the rotary table; a buff cleaning portion movement mechanism configured to move the buff cleaning portion with respect to the substrate; a buff cleaning portion control mechanism configured to control an operation of the buff cleaning portion movement mechanism; and an edge cleaning portion configured to clean an edge part of the substrate while contacting the edge part of the substrate supported by the rotary table.
