Abstract

See full text

A developing solution for photolithography in which tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) is used as an alkaline agent of the developing solution and deposition of TBAH is suppressed. A method for producing a developing solution for photolithography capable of suppressing TBAH deposition when producing the developing solution by diluting a concentrated developing solution containing TBAH and a production apparatus used for the production method. The developing solution includes tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and at least one of a water-soluble organic solvent, a surfactant, and a clathrate compound. The temperature of the liquid is maintained at 27° C. or higher during dilution.
