Abstract

The present invention relates to an aqueous coating composition for coating a photoresist pattern comprising a polymer containing a lactam group of structure (1)where R1 is independently selected hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C6 alkyl alcohol, hydroxy (OH), amine (NH2), carboxylic acid, and amide (CONH2),  represents the attachment to the polymer, m=1-6, and n=1-4.The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing a microelectronic device comprising providing a substrate with a photoresist pattern, coating the photoresist pattern with the novel coating material reacting a portion of the coating material in contact with the photoresist pattern, and removing a portion of the coating material which is not reacted with a removal solution.
