Abstract

A tin compound includes a tin-oxygen double bond, a photoresist composition including the same, and a method for forming a photoresist pattern using the same. In addition, a method for forming a photoresist pattern includes the step of dissociating an organic ligand of an organometallic compound upon light exposure to cause an addition reaction between metal molecules.

Claims (10)

1 . A tin compound comprising:

a central skeleton comprising a tin-oxygen double bond;

an organic ligand bonded to the central skeleton;

wherein the organic ligand is any one or more selected from the group consisting of formic acid, C1-C10 alkyl carboxylic acid, C2-C10 alkenyl carboxylic acid, C3-C10 cycloalkyl carboxylic acid, C6-C20 aryl carboxylic acid, haloC1-C10 alkyl carboxylic acid, C1-C10 alkylcarbonyloxy, C2-C10 alkenylcarbonyloxy, C3-C10 cycloalkylcarbonyloxy, C6-C20 arylcarbonyloxy, haloC1-C10 alkylcarbonyloxy, C1-C10 alkylcarbonylamine, and haloC1-C10 alkylcarbonylamine,

wherein the central skeleton is tin dioxide (O═Sn═O) or tin monoxide (O═Sn), and

wherein the tin compound is represented by any one of the following Chemical Formulae 1 to 4:

wherein R 1 to R 75 are independently of one another hydrogen, C1-C10 alkyl, or haloC1-C10 alkyl, and R 6 and R 7 are independently of one another hydrogen or haloC1-C5 alkyl.

2 . The tin compound of claim 1 ,

wherein R 1 to R 4 are independently of one another C1-C5 alkyl or haloC1-C5 alkyl; and

R 5 is hydrogen, C1-C5 alkyl, or haloC1-C5 alkyl.
