Zusammenfassung:A device for liquid treatment of a wafer-shaped article comprises a closed process chamber, and a ring chuck located within the closed process chamber. The ring chuck is adapted to be driven without physical contact through a magnetic bearing. A magnetic stator surrounds the closed process chamber. The closed process chamber has a cylindrical wall positioned between the ring chuck and the magnetic stator during liquid treatment of a wafer-shaped article. Various structures are provided to prevent upward ingress of processing liquid into a gap defined between the ring chuck and the cylindrical wall.
