Photosensitive polymers and chemically amplified photoresist compositions using the same

摘要

The compounds are of a class of photosensitive polymers for use in chemically amplified photoresists. These photoresists produce sharp line patterns when exposed with an ArF excimer laser. The polymer composition includes a copolymer and the photoresist composition includes a terpolymer with a photo acid generator. The resulting chemically amplified photoresist compositions have strong resistance to dry etching, possess excellent adhesion to film material, and are capable of being developed using conventional developers.
