摘要:
Some embodiments relate to a manufacturing method for a semiconductor device. In this method, a semiconductor workpiece, which includes a metal gate electrode thereon, is provided. An opening is formed in the semiconductor workpiece to expose a surface of the metal gate. Formation of the opening leaves a polymeric residue on the workpiece. To remove the polymeric residue from the workpiece, a cleaning solution that includes an organic alkali component is used. Other embodiments related to a semiconductor device resulting from the method.

A method for exposing a wafer substrate includes forming a reticle having a device pattern. A relative orientation between the device pattern and a mask field of an exposure tool is determined based on mask field utilization. The reticle is loaded on the exposure tool. The wafer substrate is rotated based on an orientation of the device pattern. Radiation is projected through the reticle onto the rotated wafer substrate by the exposure tool, thereby imaging the device pattern onto the rotated wafer substrate.

A tool and a method of developing are provided. In various embodiments, the method of developing includes rotating a wafer at a first rotating speed. The method further includes dispensing a developer solution onto the wafer at the first rotating speed by a first nozzle above the wafer, wherein the first nozzle moves back and forth along a path during dispensing the developer solution. The method further includes rotating the wafer at a second rotating speed to spread the developer solution onto the wafer uniformly. The method further includes dispensing a rinse solution onto the wafer at the second rotating speed by a second nozzle above the wafer.
