Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

New photoacid generator compounds (“PAGs”) are provided that comprise a cholate moiety and photoresist compositions that comprise such PAG compounds.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A photoacid generator compound represented by a structure: wherein M + represents a cation group, and the definition of the group R, m and n are defined directly below the structure. 2. A photoacid generator compound selected from: 3. A photoresist composition comprising a resin component and a photoacid generator compound of claim 1 . 4. A photoresist composition comprising a resin component and a photoacid generator compound of claim 2 . 5. A method for forming a photoresist relief image comprising: (a) applying a coating layer of a photoresist composition of claim 3 on a substrate; (b) exposing the photoresist coating layer to patterned activating radiation and developing the exposed photoresist layer to provide a relief image. 6. A method for forming a photoresist relief image comprising: (a) applying a coating layer of a photoresist composition of claim 4 on a substrate; (b) exposing the photoresist coating layer to patterned activating radiation and developing the exposed photoresist layer to provide a relief image.
