Abstract

Radiation-sensitive compositions comprising PA1 (a) a polyester containing structural repeating units of formula (I) ##STR1## wherein Z is a radical of formulae (IIa)-(IIh) ##STR2## wherein Y is a direct bond, C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkylene, phenylene, --CH.sub.2 --C.sub.6 H.sub.4 --CH.sub.2 --, cyclopentylene or cyclohexylene, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently of the other hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, with the proviso that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are not simultaneously hydrogen, and PA1 (b) a substance that generates acid upon exposure to actinic radiation, form a highly sensitive high resolution positive photoresist formulation which is suitable for DUV lithography and, in particular, for making integrated circuits.
