Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A photoacid generator compound has formula (I): G + Z −   (I) wherein G has formula (II): In formula (II), X is S or I, each R 0 is commonly attached to X and is independently C 1-30 alkyl; polycyclic or monocyclic C 3-30 cycloalkyl; polycyclic or monocyclic C 6-30 aryl; or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing groups. G has a molecular weight greater than 263.4 g/mol, or less than 263.4 g/mol. One or more R 0 groups are further attached to an adjacent R 0 group, a is 2 or 3, wherein when X is I, a is 2, or when X is S, a is 2 or 3. Z in formula (I) comprises the anion of a sulfonic acid, a sulfonimide, or a sulfonamide. A photoresist and coated film also includes the photoacid generator, and a method of forming an electronic device uses the photoresist.
