Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device and a semiconductor processing system are provided. The method includes the following steps. A photoresist layer is formed on a substrate in a lithography tool. The photoresist layer is exposed in the lithography tool to form an exposed photoresist layer. The exposed photoresist layer is developed to form a patterned photoresist layer in the lithography tool by using a developer. An ammonia gas by-product of the developer is removed from the lithography tool.
