Patent ID: 8524008

Claim:
A method for cleaning substrates on a flat, elongate carrier, said substrates being fastened by adhesive bonding, through outside faces, to an underside of said carrier so as to be parallel to and apart from one another, said carrier having in its interior a plurality of longitudinal channels, which run parallel to one another and which, on said underside of said carrier, merge into interstices between said substrates, the method comprising the steps of: introducing an elongate tube into at least one of said longitudinal channels through a relative movement of the elongate tube and the carrier, and in a following step, supplying cleaning fluid to said elongate tube and supplying the cleaning fluid from said elongate tube into said longitudinal channels and to said substrates, the cleaning fluid acting to clean said substrates and flushing through said interstices, wherein said relative movement is achieved substantially through moving of said carrier.
