Abstract

See full text

In an apparatus and method for treating a wafer-shaped article, a rotary chuck is configured to hold a wafer-shaped article of a predetermined diameter such that a surface of the wafer-shaped article facing the rotary chuck is spaced from an opposing peripheral surface of the rotary chuck. The opposing peripheral surface comprises a first surface overlapping an outer peripheral edge of a wafer-shaped article when positioned on the spin chuck and a second surface positioned radially inwardly of the first surface and meeting the first surface at an interface that is radially inward of and substantially concentric with a wafer-shaped article when positioned on the rotary chuck. The second surface is substantially more hydrophobic than the first surface.
