Original Abstract Submitted

In a method for cleaning process, a substrate on which a layer is formed may be loaded on a substrate stage. A photocurable resin may be spin coated on the layer to form a photocurable resin layer. Light may be irradiated onto the photocurable resin layer for curing the photocurable resin layer to form a polymer layer containing particles adsorbed from a surface of the layer. The polymer layer containing the particles may be removed.
