Abstract

New photoresist compositions are provided that are useful for immersion lithography. Preferred photoresist compositions of the invention comprise one or more materials that comprise one or more base reactive groups and (i) one or more polar groups distinct from the base reactive groups, and/or (ii) at least one of the base reactive groups is a non-perfluorinated base reactive group. Particularly preferred photoresists of the invention can exhibit reduced leaching of resist materials into an immersion fluid contacting the resist layer during immersion lithography processing.
