Abstract
The invention is directed to an alkali-soluble novolak binder resin composition made by addition condensation reaction of a phenolic mixture with at least one aldehyde source, the feedstock of said phenolic mixture for the reaction comprising about 33 to about 83 mole percent of meta-cresol; about 1 to about 4 mole percent of para-cresol; about 10 to about 60 mole percent of a phenolic monomer selected from the group consisting of 2,3-xylenol, 3,4-xylenol, 3,5-xylenol and mixtures thereof; and about 5 to about 55 mole percent of a methoxy phenol monomer, the amount of aldehyde source being from about 40 to about 200 percent of the stoichiometric amount needed to react with all of the phenolic moieties in said phenolic mixture, and the alkali-soluble novolak binder resin having a weight average molecular weight (M.sub.w) of about 3,000 to about 20,000 with a molecular weight polydispersity (M.sub.w /M.sub.n) of 1.5-4.0. The invention is also directed to a positive working photoresist made from the composition.
