Abstract
Underlying coating compositions are provided for use with an overcoated photoresist composition. In one aspect, the coating composition can be crosslinked and comprise one or more components that contain one or more acid-labile groups and/or one or more base-reactive groups that are reactive following crosslinking. In another aspect, underlying coating composition are provided that can be treated to provide a modulated water contact angle. Preferred underlying coating compositions can exhibit enhanced etch rates in plasma etchants. Additional preferred coating compositions can enhance lithographic performance of an associated photoresist composition.
