Abstract

Excellent resolution and sensitivity in the patterning of resists utilized in device and mask manufacture is obtained with a specific composition. In particular this composition involves polymers having recurring pendant acid labile .alpha.-alkoxyalkyl carboxylic acid ester moieties in the presence of an acid generator activated by actinic radiation such as UV-visible, deep ultraviolet, e-beam and x-ray radiation.
