Developer: TMAH Manual 02 is a manually operated puddle developer for single wafers or chips. The wafers or chips are loaded manually one by one into the developer, but the developer dispense, puddle time, water rinse, and drying is performed automatically.  
'''Tool description'''<br>
The Developer: TMAH manual 02 is a semi-automatic and programmable single substrate developer system, which can be used for development of resists on chips, 50 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm substrates. The development is done using AZ 726 MIF, which is a 2.38% TMAH solution with wetting agent.


The development uses the TMAH based AZ 726 MIF developer (2.38 % TMAH in  water with a small amount of wetting agent).
Single substrates are loaded manually into the tool, but the developer dispense, puddle time, agitation, rinse and drying is controlled by the tool.

Tests were performed on under-exposed resist, specifically for showing the difference between the agitation and non-agitation puddle development - the measured results cannot necessarily be transferred directly to a working process, only the vague general behavior of the two process setups; faster/slower development speed and better/worse uniformity across substrate.
