In order to further examine the wetting effect and the developing effect of the developer, the invention adopts the following technical means: 1. wetting effect, using HTYZL-H full-automatic tensiometer to measure the surface tension of the stock solution and diluent sample of the above examples and comparative examples; 2. the effect of the developing solution is as follows: spin-coating a negative color photoresist with a certain thickness on a glass substrate, and pre-baking at 120 ℃ for 80s in an oven. Then, exposure was performed using a pattern mask, and after completion of exposure, development was performed using the above-mentioned developer diluted by 20 times. After the development treatment, the resultant was washed with high-purity water, then dried with nitrogen gas, and hard-baked in an oven at 220 ℃. Observation was performed using an optical microscope and an electron microscope. The development effect was confirmed. The properties of the stock solution of the high-concentration developer and the development effect after dilution are shown in table 2;

As can be seen from the above Table 2, the low etching rate developing solution of the present invention has a lower surface tension and an excellent developing effect as shown in examples 1 to 10. Compared with example 10, comparative example 1 has higher surface tension because it contains only potassium oxalate and does not contain alkyl sulfonate and non-surfactant, and has the phenomenon that the residue and the pattern have defects and are not clear after the development.
Comparative example 2 has a low surface tension before dilution because it does not contain a nonionic surfactant, but the surface tension after dilution is significantly increased, and there is a problem in that a clear pattern with high precision without residue cannot be obtained.
Comparative example 3, which contains no alkylsulfonate, has a high surface tension, and a clear pattern having high definition and no residue was similarly obtained.
