Embodiment Construction

[0028] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] During the manufacture of semiconductor devices or liquid crystal displays, a photoresist stripper is sprayed onto a substrate covered with a patterned photoresist layer so that the photoresist can be stripped from the substrate agent layer. At this point, the photoresist stripper containing the stripped photoresist is collected into a stripper collection box located below the substrate. When the amount of the stripping agent in the collection box reaches a predetermined value, the stripping agent is delivered to the stripping agent storage box by a delivery pump. Since each component of the release agent has its characteristic light absorption wavelength, the components of the release agent can be analyzed in real time by detecting the light absorption of the release agent in a near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range using a NIR spectrometer.

Abstract

In a method of controlling a photoresist stripping process for fabricating a semiconductor device or a liquid crystal display device, the composition of the stripper used in stripping the photoresist layer is first analyzed with the NIR spectrometer. The state of the stripper is then determined by comparing the analyzed composition with the reference composition. In case the life span of the stripper comes to an end, the stripper is replaced with a new stripper. By contrast, in case the life span of the stripper is left over, the stripper is delivered to the next photoresist stripping process. This analysis technique may be applied to the photoresist stripper regenerating process in a similar way.
