Abstract
The present disclosure provides a solvent for reducing resist consumption, which includes a first solvent selected from the group consisting of alkylene glycol alkyl ether acetate, alkylene glycol alkyl ether and a combination thereof, and a second solvent having a hydrogen bonding Hansen parameter lower than 5.34 and an evaporation rate (n-BuAc=1) lower than 0.6. A volume ratio of the first solvent to the second solvent is in a range of 0/100 to 90/10. A resist dispense volume for a 300 mm wafer is less than 0.6 cc, or a resist dispense volume for a 450 mm wafer is less than 1.1 cc.
