Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel aqueous antireflective coating solution and a process for its use in photolithography. The antireflective coating solution comprises a novel polymer and water, where the novel polymer of the antireflective coating comprises at least one unit containing a dye that absorbs from about 180 nm to about 450 nm, at least one unit containing a crosslinking group and at least one unit derived from a hydrophilic vinyl monomer or a vinyl monomer capable of becoming hydrophilic.
