Disclosed is a method and apparatus for treating a substrate with a
reaction solvent formed of supercritical ozone in a feed phase. The feed
phase can be aqueous, e.g., formed of heated, deionized water,
nonaqueous, e.g., formed of a dense fluid, such as supercritical carbon
dioxide, liquid carbon dioxide, supercritical nitrogen or combinations
the dense fluids or the feed phase can be a mixture of aqueous and
nonaqueous phases.
