DEVELOPABLE UNDERCOATING COMPOSITION FOR THICK PHOTORESIST LAYERS

摘要

The present invention relates to an undercoating composition for a photoresist comprising a polymer which is insoluble in an aqueous alkali developer but becomes soluble prior to development, and a photoacid generator which produces a strong acid upon exposure to radiation, and further where the polymer is transparent at the exposure radiation. The invention also relates to a process for imaging the undercoating composition.
