International Classification:

G03C 154
G03C 558

US Classification:

430192

Abstract:

The invention provides a radiation sensitive composition having a polymer binder of phenolic and cyclic alcohol units. At least a portion of the phenolic units and/or cyclic alcohol units of the polymer are bonded to acid labile groups. High solubility differentials between exposed and unexposed regions are realized with only moderate substitution of the binder with the acid labile groups.
