A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus for cleaning a semiconductor
substrate comprises a high-temperature circulation type chemical bath
which is filled with a chemical to be used for cleaning of a
semiconductor substrate and in which the chemical is circulated and
reused, a draining mechanism which drains the chemical in the chemical
bath therefrom, an auxiliary fluid supplying mechanism which adds to the
drained chemical regarded as a waste chemical an auxiliary fluid, and
thereby heats the waste chemical, a heat exchanger in which the heated
waste chemical is stored temporarily and a new chemical is allowed to
flow, and which cools the waste chemical and raises temperature of the
new chemical by heat exchange, and a pipe in which the new chemical
having the temperature raised in the heat exchanger is supplied to the
chemical bath.
