Abstract

A photoacid generating (PAG) sulfonium monomer was designed and synthesized. CA resists were prepared based on this PAG monomer. Incorporation of the PAG in the resist backbone offered a few advantages such as high sensitivity and absence of phase separation. These resists proved to be especially useful for low-voltage EB lithography.
