Abstract

Two new monomeric anionic PAGs, and their corresponding polymers, were prepared and characterized. The acid generating efficiency of PAG bound polymers is in the order: NO2 PAG ≈ F4 PAG > CF3 PAG, which agrees well with the electron withdrawing power of the substituents. The NO2 PAG bound polymer showed better imaging resolution, than the CF3 PAG bound polymer. Based on the acid generating efficiency, and our previous results on F4 PAG bound polymer for EUV photoresists, these two new PAGs and PAG bound polymers have the potential for imaging via EUV lithography.
