Abstract

The present invention relates a novel aqueous composition comprising polymeric thermal acid generator and a process of coating the novel composition onto photoresist pattern, thereby forming a layer of the polymeric thermal acid generator over the photoresist pattern. The polymeric thermal acid generator comprises a polymer having at least one repeating unit of structure 2;where R1 to R5 are independently chosen from the group consisting of H and C1-C6 alkyl; R6 is chosen from the group consisting of unsubstituted aryl, substituted aryl, alkyl (C1-C8) and fluoroalkyl (C1-C8) and W is a C2-C6 alkylene spacer.
