  • Patent number: 12165867
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a method for minimizing electrostatic charges in a semiconductor substrate. The method includes depositing photoresist on a semiconductor substrate to form a photoresist layer on the semiconductor substrate. The photoresist layer is exposed to radiation. The photoresist layer is developed using a developer solution. The semiconductor substrate is cleaned with a first cleaning liquid to wash the developer solution from the photoresist layer. A tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution is applied to the semiconductor substrate to reduce charges accumulated in the semiconductor substrate.
