Abstract

A photolithographic composition having improved processability and which eliminates the need for interlayering multiple special purpose coatings in the production of microelectronic devices is surprisingly made possible by selective dissolution of a polymer and an effective light attenuating material in critical solvents. The polymers which are used in the present invention include homopolymers and copolymers of poly(vinylpyridine).
