Abstract:
Shrinkage and mass losses are reduced in photoresist exposure and post exposure baking by utilizing a small group which will decompose. Alternatively a bulky group which will not decompose or a combination of the small group which will decompose along with the bulky group which will not decompose can be utilized. Additionally, polar functional groups may be utilized in order to reduce the diffusion of reactants through the photoresist.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:\n applying a photoresist to a layer to be patterned, wherein the photoresist comprises:\n a hydrocarbon backbone; \n a first acid labile group, wherein the first acid labile group has less than 9 carbon atoms, wherein the first acid labile group comprises a cycloalkyl group and further comprises a C4-C5 alkyl group, an acetyl group, or an acetyl alkyl group; and \n a second acid labile group, wherein the second acid labile group comprises greater than 9 carbon atoms; \n exposing the photoresist to a patterned light source; and developing the photoresist after the exposing the photoresist.
