Abstract

A method of lithography patterning includes coating a resist layer on a substrate; performing an exposing process to the resist layer using a lithography tool with a numerical aperture tuned between about 0.5 and about 0.6; baking the resist layer; thereafter performing a first developing process to the resist layer for a first period of time; and performing a second developing process to the resist layer for a second period of time.
