Abstract

High sensitivity, high contrast, heat-stable resist compositions for use in deep UV, i-line e-beam and x-ray lithography. These compositions comprise a film-forming polymer having aromatic rings activated for electrophilic substitution, an acid catalyzable crosslinking agent which forms a hydroxy-stabilized carbonium ion, and a photoacid generator. The compositions are aqueous base developable.
