Abstract:
1. A method for drying circuit substrates, in particular semiconductor substrates, the method comprising: providing a receiving system, said receiving system receiving at least one circuit substrate; flushing a circuit surface of the at least one circuit substrate using a flushing liquid in a flushing step; providing a thermal radiator unit; and drying the circuit surface in a subsequent drying step, the at least one circuit substrate being moved in the flushing step in the direction of its planar extension transversely and in relation to a liquid level of the flushing liquid in such a way that a liquid meniscus forms at a transition area between the circuit surface and the liquid level, which changes because of the relative movement, and thermal radiation is applied to the transition area wetted by the liquid meniscus in the drying step via said thermal radiator unit, said thermal radiator unit being arranged at a position above said receiving system and the circuit substrate.
