Abstract

The concept of chemical amplification in microlithography was developed in the early 1980's. Recently, our research group has successfully developed a series of effective amine-photogenerators such as carbamate. These results have encouraged us to design some novel polymers that are appropriate for lithographic processes under a novel base-catalyzed approach. This paper reports the design and the synthesis of a novel polymer, poly(2-cyano-2-(p-vinylphenyl)-butanoic acid) and demonstrates for the first time the concept of a chemical amplification using photogenerated base.
