Abstract
A method for lithography patterning includes forming a first layer over a substrate, the first layer being radiation-sensitive, exposing the first layer to a radiation, mixing a first solution and a second solution, thereby forming a developer, and dispensing the developer to the exposed first layer to form a pattern over the substrate. The dispensing of the developer includes varying a concentration of a developing chemical in the developer in multiple stages, such that the concentration of the developing chemical in the developer increases from a first stage to a subsequent second stage, and increases from the second stage to a subsequent third stage real-time during the dispensing.
