Abstract

The invention provides new photoresist compositions that contain a resin binder and a blend of photoacid generators. Photoacid generator blends of the invention produce photoacids that differ in acid strength and/or size. A specific composition comprises a terpolymer having units of hydroxystyrene, styrene and t-butyl acrylate with the photoacid generators di-(4-tbutylphenyl)iodonium camphorsulfonate and di-(4-t-butylphenyl)iodonium o-trifluoromethylbenzene sulfonate.
