Abstract

Copolymers and terpolyers are used in chemically amplified resists. The terpolymers are of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a C.sub.1 to C.sub.10 aliphatic hydrocarbon, wherein the aliphatic hydrocarbon contains substituents selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxy, carboxylic acid, carboxylic anhydride, and combinations thereof; R.sub.4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a C.sub.1 to C.sub.10 aliphatic hydrocarbon, wherein the aliphatic hydrocarbon contains substituents selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxy, carboxylic acid, carboxylic anhydride, and combinations thereof; R.sub.5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl; R.sub.6 is selected from the group consisting of t-butyl and tetrahydropyranyl; m and n are each integers; and wherein n/(m+n) ranges from about 0.1 to about 0.5.
