Abstract

A photoresist composition comprising an alkali soluble resin and an ortho-naphthoquinone diazide sulfonic acid ester of a polyhydroxy alcohol. The photoresist is characterized by having at least a portion of its free hydroxyl groups on the photoactive compound blocked with an acid labile blocking group that generates a hydroxide upon cleavage.
