More Information
Summary:A method and apparatus for applying an electric field and/or a magnetic field to a photoresist layer without air gap intervention during photolithography processes is provided herein. The method and apparatus include a chamber body, which is configured to be filled with a process fluid, and a substrate carrier. The substrate carrier is disposed outside of the process volume while substrates are loaded onto the substrate carrier, but is rotated to a processing position either simultaneously or before entering the process fluid. The substrate carrier is rotated to a process position parallel to an electrode before an electric field is utilized to perform a post-exposure bake process on the substrate.
