A centrifugal spray processor for processing semiconductor wafers uses
larger numbers of spray nozzles. Each spray nozzle delivers a reduced
volume of liquid, to reduce consumption of liquid process chemicals. The
nozzles operate at a higher back pressure. The increased number of
nozzles, offset nozzle patterns and groupings of nozzles, lower nozzle
flow rates, and higher nozzle back pressures, provide improved processing
results. The improved spray system may be provided as a retrofit kit.
