'''Tool description'''<br>
The Developer TMAH UV-lithography is a fully automatic and programmable cassette-to-cassette system, which can be used for post-exposure baking and development of UV resists on 100 mm and 150 mm substrates. The development is done using AZ 726 MIF, which is a 2.38% TMAH solution with wetting agent.


Developer TMAH UV-lithography was released Q4 2014.
The developer dispense, puddle time, agitation, rinse and drying is controlled by the tool.
