Claim:
1. A method of treating a substrate comprising: generating a solvent-containing vapor from a solvent-containing solution, the solvent-containing solution comprising a mixture of two or more solvents, wherein the solvent-containing vapor comprises the mixture of the two or more solvents; introducing the solvent-containing vapor into a chamber; contacting the solvent-containing vapor to a substrate in the chamber, wherein a surface of the substrate includes debris or contaminants thereon, wherein the solvent- containing vapor coats the surface of the substrate and the debris or contaminants thereon; condensing the solvent-containing vapor into a condensed solvent-containing solution, the condensed solvent-containing solution being in a liquid-phase; changing the condensed solvent-containing solution from the liquid phase to a solid phase to form a solvent-containing solid, wherein changing the condensed solvent-containing solution to the solvent-containing solid weakens contact between the substrate and the debris or contaminants thereon; changing the solvent-containing solid back to the condensed solvent-containing solution; and spin drying the substrate to remove the condensed solvent-containing solution and the debris or contaminants from the substrate.
