Abstract

The present invention is directed to a high-performance irradiation sensitive resists and to a polymer resin composition useful for making the same. In accordance to the present invention, the polymer resin comprises a dual blocked polymer resins. Specifically, the dual blocked polymer resin comprises at least two different acid labile protecting groups which block some, but not all, of the polar functional groups of the polymer resin. a chemically amplified resist system comprising said dual blocked polymer resin; at least one acid generator; and a solvent is also provided herein.
