Abstract

A photolithography method includes coating a photoresist on an active region and an edge region of a wafer, exposing the photoresist on the edge region to first ultraviolet rays, exposing the photoresist on the active region to second ultraviolet rays, depositing a first developing solution on the photoresist on the edge region to remove the photoresist on the edge region, and developing the photoresist on the active region using a second developing solution.
