Abstract

This invention relates to new photoacid generator compounds and photoresist compositions that comprise such compounds. In particular, the invention relates to photoacid generator compounds that comprise a multi cyclic lactone moiety.

Claims (5)

1. A chemically-amplified positive photoresist composition comprising:

a resin binder and a photoacid generator compound selected from one of the following compounds:

2. A method for forming a photoresist relief image on a substrate comprising:

(a) applying a coating layer of a photoresist composition of claim 1 on a substrate; and

(b) exposing the coating layer to patterned activating radiation and developing the exposed coating layer to provide a relief image.
