2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the development of the semiconductor industry has been remarkable. Particularly, in recent semiconductor integrated circuits, as represented by a super LSI, a minimum line width for drawing a circuit has been gradually reduced along with high integration. It is desired to form a resist pattern with high accuracy. Positive resists meet this demand, and have higher resolution than conventional negative resists, and are therefore often used for drawing highly integrated circuits.

As a developing solution for the positive resist, an aqueous alkali solution such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide or trimethylmonoethanolammonium hydroxide is generally used. This developer is said to be as important as the resist. That is, in order to obtain image sharpness, excellent resolution and stability, a developing solution having a concentration suitable for the positive resist to be used is required.
In particular, with the recent increase in the degree of integration of semiconductors, the pattern dimensions have been miniaturized, and the submicron era has been entered. In order to reduce the variation in the effective sensitivity of the resist, improvement in the accuracy of the development density has become an issue.

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors have diligently studied an automatic developer dilution apparatus having the above-mentioned problems,
Previously using load cell preparation tank was measured with the undiluted developer solution dilution water, the concentration of the developer was measured by an automatic titrator by potentiometric, we found a device for managing the sequence controller, was filed a patent application (JP-A 5-216
No. 241 ). Although this apparatus can automatically control the developer concentration with extremely high accuracy, it cannot detect the concentration continuously by titration. The inventors have further studied an automatic diluting device for a developing solution. As a result, if an ultrasonic propagation velocity measuring device (hereinafter referred to as an ultrasonic meter) is used instead of the automatic titration device based on the potential difference measurement, the high continuous concentration can be obtained. The inventors have found that the developer concentration can be automatically controlled with high accuracy and can be suitably used for an online measuring device, and have reached the present invention.
