Abstract

The present invention relates to novel monomers which can be used to form photoresist polymers and photoresist compositions using the same which are suitable for photolithography processes employing a far ultraviolet light source, copolymers thereof. Preferred monomers of the invention are represented by Chemical Formula 1 below: ##STR1## PA1 wherein, X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 individually represent CH.sub.2, CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2, oxygen or sulfur; Y represents CH.sub.2 or oxygen; R.sub.1 represents H or CH.sub.3, R' and R" individually represent substituted or non-substituted (C.sub.0 -C.sub.3) alkyl; and i represents an integer from 0 to 3.
