Title:
RESIST WITH REDUCED LINE EDGE ROUGHNESS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002091084
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Novel photoresists containing at least about 0.2 molar ratio of a base with respect to the concentration of a photoacid generator present and their preparation are described. It has been discovered that inclusion of a sufficient amount of base counteracts the detrimental effects of photoacid generators, thus providing resists having submicron linewidth resolution.
