Negative resist process with simultaneous development and aromatization of resist structures

摘要

The invention relates to a process for producing amplified negative resist structures in which, following exposure and contrasting of the resist, the resist structure is simultaneously developed and aromatized. This substantially simplifies the production of amplified resist structures. Amplifying agents include compounds having not only a reactive group for attachment to an anchor group of the polymer, but also at least one aromatic group.
