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 15):
A method comprising:\n exposing a photoresist to a patterned energy source, the photoresist comprising a polymer resin, the polymer resin comprising a bulky leaving group and a cleavage unit bonded to a hydrocarbon backbone, wherein:\n the bulky leaving group has a loading of greater than 45% and comprises more than nine carbon atoms; \n the cleavage unit has a loading of greater than 5%, has less than 9 carbon atoms, and comprises a cycloalkyl group and a C 4 -C 5  alkyl group; and \n the exposing the photoresist to the patterned energy source cleaves the bulky leaving group and the cleavage unit from the hydrocarbon backbone; and \n removing an exposed portion of the photoresist or an unexposed portion of the photoresist using a developer.
