Abstract

A positive photoresist composition includes (A) an alkali-soluble resin, (B) a quinonediazide ester of, e.g., bis[2,5-dimethyl-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methane and/or 2,4-bis[4-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-5-methylbenzyl]-6-cyclohexylphenol, and (C) 4,4′-bis(diethylamino)benzophenone. The composition exhibits high sensitivity and definition and improved focal depth range properties and underexposure margin.
