摘要:
The present invention provides a process for using an amine contamination-protecting top-coating composition. Preferably, the amine contamination-protecting top-coating composition of the present invention comprises an amine contamination-protecting compound. Useful amine contamination-protecting compounds include amine derivatives; amino acid derivatives; amide derivatives; urethane derivatives; urea derivatives; salts thereof; and mixtures thereof. The amine contamination-protecting top-coating composition of the present invention reduces or eliminates problems such as T-topping due to a post exposure delay effect and/or difficulties in forming a fine pattern below 100 nm due to acid diffusion associated with conventional lithography processes involving a photoresist polymer containing an alicyclic main chain using a light source, such as KrF (248 nm), ArF (193 nm), F2 (157 nm), E-beam, ion beam and extremely ultraviolet (EUV).

The present invention relates to a compound that is useful as an additive for improving post exposure delay stability in a photoresist composition, and a photoresist composition containing the same. In particular, it has been found that a compound of the formula: where A, R1 to R3 are defined herein, can efficiently prevent or reduce the phenomenon of a lack of pattern formation and T-topping resulting from post exposure delay (PED) by reducing influences of environmental amine compounds. PED is a disadvantage of alicyclic compounds used in the lithography process using light sources such as KrF, ArF, VUV, E-beam, ion beam and EUV.

The present invention provides a cross-linker monomer of formula 1, a photoresist polymer derived from a monomer comprising the same, and a photoresist composition comprising the photoresist polymer. The cross-linking unit of the photoresist polymer can be hydrolyzed (or degraded or broken) by an acid generated from a photoacid generator on the exposed region.
