Abstract

Lithographic resist compositions are provided which permit an improved lift-off process in which the deposition mask with apertures has the desirable negative slope or overhang. The resist composition comprises a phenolic-aldehyde resin, a photosensitizer and Meldrum's diazo, or Meldrum's acid or suitable analogs thereof as a profile modifying agent. The profile modifying agents useful in the present invention have the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 to C.sub.20 alkyl or aryl, R.sub.2 is H, C.sub.1 to C.sub.20 alkyl or aryl, or together R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are cycloalkyl, A is N or H.
