Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

New lactone-containing photoacid generator compounds (“PAGs”) and photoresist compositions that comprise each PAG compounds are provided. These photoresist compositions are useful in the manufacture of electronic device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A photoacid generator having a formula chosen from wherein M + is a cation. 2. A photoresist composition comprising a polymer and a photoacid generator of claim 1 . 3. A method for forming a photoresist relief image on a substrate comprising: (a) applying a coating layer of a photoresist composition of claim 2 on a substrate; and (b) exposing the photoresist coating layer to patterned activating radiation and developing the exposed photoresist layer to provide a relief image. 4. A photoacid generator of claim 1 having a formula chosen from wherein M + is a cation. 5. A photoresist composition comprising a polymer and a photoacid generator of claim 4 . 6. A method for forming a photoresist relief image on a substrate comprising: (a) applying a coating layer of a photoresist composition of claim 5 on a substrate; and (b) exposing the photoresist coating layer to patterned activating radiation and developing the exposed photoresist layer to provide a relief image. 7. A photoacid generator of claim 1 having a formula chosen from wherein M + is a cation. 8. A photoresist composition comprising a polymer and a photoacid generator of claim 7 . 9. A method for forming a photoresist relief image on a substrate comprising: (a) applying a coating layer of a photoresist composition of claim 8 on a substrate; and (b) exposing the photoresist coating layer to patterned activating radiation and developing the exposed photoresist layer to provide a relief image.
