Abstract

The present invention is directed to a thermally curable polymer composition comprising a hydroxyl-containing polymer and a polyfunctional isocyanate as a crosslinking agent, which is particularly useful in photolithographic coating of substrates. The thermally curable polymer composition may be dissolved in a solvent and used as an undercoat layer in deep UV lithography. Furthermore, the present invention further relates to a process for using the photolithographic coated substrate for the production of relief structures.
