Abstract

The present invention includes polyacetal polymers and photoresist compositions that include the polymers as a resin binder component. Photoresists of the invention include chemically-amplified positive-acting resists that can be effectively imaged at short wavelengths such as sub-300 nm, particularly 157 nm.
