Abstract
We report a quantitative method for the real-time evaluation of photoresist performance that integrates laser irradiation with quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensing technology. The results obtained for the model photoresist AZ1518 correlated with the traditionally obtained ones. Furthermore, the system revealed viscoelastic transitions and shear stress evolution during photoreactions.
