The invention relates to an apparatus for transporting a substrate into or out of a treatment apparatus, to a treatment apparatus, to a method of processing a substrate and to a treatment system having a movement arrangement for moving such an apparatus for transporting a substrate. In this case, the apparatus for transporting a substrate has a substrate carrier that includes a horizontally extending holding area and one or a plurality of gripping arms. The holding area is even and uniform on a first surface facing the substrate, the shape of said holding area substantially corresponding to the shape of the substrate and the area size of said holding area being substantially the same as the area size of the substrate, the substrate being held with its rear side on the holding area merely by its weight. The treatment apparatus has a receiving plate on which the substrate is held during the treatment, the receiving plate having a recess that is suitable for receiving such a substrate carrier during the treatment of the substrate in a first surface.

Provided are an apparatus and a method which ensure the wafers immersing in the chemical solution from one cleaning tank to the other cleaning tanks. The apparatus includes an inner tank (1001); at least one divider (1002) for dividing the inner tank (1001) into at least two cleaning tanks filled with chemical solution; a first robot (1005) equipped with at least a pair of end effectors (1051) for gripping and taking a wafer from a first cleaning tank (1011) to a second cleaning tank (1012); wherein each cleaning tank is provided with a cassette bracket (1003) in the bottom for holding wafers, and the at least one divider (1002) is provided with at least one slot (1004)< wherein the first robot (1005) grips and takes the wafer from the first cleaning tank (1011) to the second cleaning tank (1012) through the slot (1004) while keeping the wafer immersing.
