Abstract:
A cup wash disk for cleaning a photoresist process tool is provided. An upper plate is arranged over a lower plate to define a cavity between the upper and lower plates. The lower plate comprises peripheral openings in fluid communication with the cavity and arranged along a periphery of the lower plate. A plurality of shims is arranged between the upper and lower plates to space the upper and lower plates and to define slits between the upper and lower plates. The slits are in fluid communication with the cavity. A method for cleaning the photoresist process tool using the cup wash disk is also provided.

Claim (Index 8):
A process tool comprising:\n a cup wash disk (CWD) comprising an upper plate, a lower plate, and a plurality of shims, wherein the upper plate overlies the lower plate and is vertically separated from the lower plate by the shims, wherein the upper plate, the lower plate, and the shims define a cavity between the upper and lower plates, wherein the upper plate, the lower plate, and the shims further define a plurality of slits in an annular sidewall of the CWD, wherein the slits are spaced along the annular sidewall of the CWD and are in fluid communication with the cavity; and a housing surrounding the CWD and having a first housing sidewall and a second housing sidewall, wherein the first and second housing sidewalls define an inlet to an exhaust channel leading out of the housing, and wherein the inlet is level with the slits.
