Abstract

A class of chlorinated or brominated polymeric negative resists for high resolution X-ray or electron lithographic processes is described. Chlorine and bromine atoms have a generally high mass absorption coefficient for X-rays and can be incorporated into the polymer in high weight percents. The chlorinated resists are especially sensitive to the 4.37 Angstrom characteristic X-rays from a Pd target.
