Abstract
A method for performing a photolithography process is provided. The method includes forming a layer over a substrate, and exposing a portion of the layer to form an exposed region. The method also includes performing a baking process on the layer, so that voids are formed in the exposed region of the layer. The method further includes filling the void with a post treatment coating material, and the post treatment coating material is over the exposed region of the layer.
