Abstract

See full text

There is provided a substrate cleaning apparatus capable of highly effective self-cleaning of a cleaning tool in a short time period. The substrate cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning tool for cleaning a substrate while in contact with a surface of the substrate, a self-cleaning member for self-cleaning the cleaning tool while in contact with the cleaning tool, a rotation mechanism for rotating the cleaning tool, and a holding mechanism for holding the cleaning tool, the holding mechanism being capable of pressing the cleaning tool against the substrate and pressing the cleaning tool against the self-cleaning member. The substrate cleaning apparatus also includes a controller which controls pressing force for the cleaning tool against the self-cleaning member such that self-cleaning torque, with which the rotation mechanism rotates the cleaning tool at the time of self-cleaning of the cleaning tool, is prescribed torque equal to or more than substrate cleaning torque, with which the rotation mechanism rotates the cleaning tool when the cleaning tool cleans the substrate.
