[0002] With the rapid development of display industry, as one of the key processes, the stability and efficiency of developing process have a direct impact on product quality and production cost. The main component of developing solution is tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), which can be recycled after being filtered by NF membrane. This not only reduces production cost, but also reduces environmental pollution. However, when NF membrane is abnormal, the filtration effect decreases, which leads to the ineffective removal of resist in developing solution, thereby affecting product yield, and even causing production line shutdown and reduced productivity.

[0003] The current equipment does not install real-time monitoring device for NF membrane filtration effect, which cannot evaluate the filtration effect in real time. The decline of filtration effect can only be indirectly discovered through downstream product abnormalities (such as uneven development, pattern defects, etc.), which has obvious hysteresis. SUMMARY

High-precision spectrometer (UV meter) measures the absorbance of TMAH solution at a specific wavelength to analyze its optical properties. By measuring absorbance, the content of TMAH solution PR can be quantified to evaluate its cleanliness. Real-time monitoring can detect problems at an early stage of NF membrane filtration effect decline, trigger equipment alarm and arrange NF membrane replacement plan in advance.
