Abstract

The present invention relates to an antireflective coating composition comprising a novel polymer in a solvent composition. The invention further comprises processes for using the antireflective coating composition in photolithography. The antireflective coating composition comprises a novel polymer and a solvent composition, 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 and at least one unit that contains no aromatic funtionality. The solvent may be organic, preferrably, a solvent of low toxicity, or it may be water, which may additionally contain other water miscible organic solvents.
