Abstract

See full text

The invention provides positive-acting chemically-amplified photoresist compositions that can provide excellent lithographic performance as well as significantly enhanced storage stability. In one aspect, photoresist compositions are provided that comprise a solvent that is free of hydroxy groups (i.e. non-hydroxylic solvent), a resin binder and a photoactive compound that exhibits enhanced and long-term solubility in the solvent. In a further aspect, resists are provided that are formulated in a hydroxyl-containing solvent such as ethyl lactate and that contains a sulfonium salt photoactive compound that includes a sulfonate counter anion that can provide enhanced storage stability for the resist.
