Abstract:
1. An apparatus for removing contamination from a substrate, comprising: a channel for receiving a substrate, the channel defined to include a solid non-porous constraining surface positioned in an opposing and substantially parallel orientation with respect to a surface of the substrate, wherein contamination is to be removed from the surface of the substrate; a cleaning material disposed within the channel such that the substrate to be received by the channel is submerged within the cleaning material, the cleaning material defined as a liquid medium including dispersed solid components; and an immiscible component generator disposed within the channel to generate immiscible components within the cleaning material such that a motive force is applied to move the immiscible components between the solid constraining surface of the channel and the surface of the substrate, wherein the solid non-porous constraining surface is defined to constrain a position of the immiscible components relative to the substrate as the immiscible components move between the solid constraining surface and the surface of the substrate.
