Abstract

An exemplary method of using developer as a solvent to spread photoresist faster and reduce photoresist consumption can include dispensing a developer solution onto an integrated circuit wafer, spinning the integrated circuit wafer to distribute the developer solution over the integrated circuit wafer, and dispensing a photoresist solution onto the integrated circuit covered with the developer solution.
