Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a forming a photoresist layer over a semiconductor substrate and selectively exposing the photoresist layer to actinic radiation. After selectively exposing the photoresist layer to actinic radiation, storing the semiconductor substrate in a semiconductor substrate container under an ambient of extreme dry clean air or inert gas. The method also includes after the storing the semiconductor substrate, performing a first heating of the photoresist layer.
