Abstract:
1. A system for cleaning contaminants from a substrate, comprising: a support structure defined to support a substrate; a cleaning material reservoir; a cleaning material disposed within the cleaning material reservoir, wherein the cleaning material is a polar solvent having polyacrylamide dissolved therein for entrapping contaminants present on a surface of the substrate; a cleaning material dispensing device connected in fluid communication with the cleaning material reservoir and defined to dispense the cleaning material over the support structure such that the cleaning material is applied onto the substrate when present on the support structure; and a rinsing fluid dispensing device defined to direct a flow of a rinsing fluid toward the support structure such that the rinsing fluid impacts the cleaning material when present on the support structure, wherein the rinsing fluid dispensing device is defined to control a flow velocity of the rinsing fluid within a velocity range extending from about 0.1 meter per second to about 100 meters per second.
