Abstract

The present invention discloses a polymer having a repeated unit of the formula (II), wherein R1 is H, haloalkyl group or C1-C4 alkyl group; R2 is hydroxyl group, C1-C8 alkoxy group or C1-C8 thioalkyl group; G is (CH2)n, O or S, wherein n is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; Rc is a lactone group; and m is 1, 2 or 3. The polymer of the present invention can be used to form the chemical amplified photoresist composition, which can then be applied to general lithography processes, and particularly to the lithography of ArF, KrF or the like light source, and exhibit excellent resolution, figures and photosensitivity.
