An apparatus for cleaning a substrate is disclosed. The apparatus having a first head unit and a second head unit. The first head unit is positioned proximate to the surface of the substrate and has a first row of channels defined within configured to supply a foam to the surface of the substrate. The second head unit is positioned substantially adjacent to the first head unit and proximate to the surface of the substrate. A second and a third row of channels are defined within the second head unit. The second row of channels is configured to supply a fluid to the surface of the substrate. The third row of channels is configured to apply a vacuum to the surface of the substrate.

1. An apparatus for cleaning a substrate, comprising: a manifold unit located at a first vertical position, the manifold unit having a first row of channels defined within the manifold unit and configured to supply a foam to the surface of the substrate when present; anda proximity head unit positioned at a second vertical position, the second vertical position being proximate to a surface of the substrate and closer to the surface of the substrate than the first vertical position of the manifold unit when the substrate is present, such that the proximity head unit is below the manifold unit, the proximity head unit having a second row of channels defined within the proximity head unit and configured to supply a fluid to the surface of the substrate when present; anda third row of channels defined within the proximity head unit and positioned horizontally between the first and second row of channels such that the first row of channels and the second row of channels are on horizontal opposite sides of the third row of channels, the second row of channels are coupled to a vacuum and oriented over the surface of the substrate when the substrate is present, thereby controlling removal of the foam and the fluid;wherein the surface is of one side of the substrate. 2. The apparatus for cleaning a substrate, as recited in claim 1, wherein, the foam is comprised of a plurality of tri-state bodies, the tri-state bodies including a solid portion, a liquid portion, and a gas portion. 3. The apparatus for cleaning a substrate, as recited in claim 2, wherein the solid portion includes fatty acids. 4. The apparatus for cleaning a substrate, as recited in claim 1, wherein, the fluid is one of a gas or a liquid. 5. The apparatus for cleaning a substrate, as recited in claim 4, wherein, if the fluid is the liquid, the liquid is one of de-ionized water or a de-foaming agent. 6. The apparatus for cleaning a substrate, as recited in claim 4, wherein, if the fluid is the gas, the gas is one of air, ozone (O3), oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), and argon (Ar). 7. The apparatus for cleaning a substrate, as recited in claim 1, wherein, the apparatus is configured to move translationally relative to the surface of the substrate. 8. The apparatus for cleaning a substrate, as recited in claim 1, wherein, the proximity head unit further includes a fourth row of channels defined within and configured to supply isopropyl alcohol (IPA) vapor or carbon dioxide (CO2) to the surface of the substrate.
