Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a photoresist layer comprising a photoresist composition over a substrate to form a photoresist-coated substrate. The photoresist layer is selectively exposed to actinic radiation to form a latent pattern in the photoresist layer. The latent pattern is developed by applying a developer to the selectively exposed photoresist layer to form a patterned photoresist layer exposing a portion of the substrate, and a purge gas is applied to the patterned photoresist layer.
