Copolymers and photoresist compositions comprising same

   
   

The present invention includes polymers and photoresist compositions that comprise the polymers as a resin binder component. Photoresists of the invention include chemically-amplified positive-acting resists that can be effectively imaged at short wavelengths such as sub-200 nm, particularly 193 nm. Polymers of the invention suitably contain 1) photoacid labile groups that preferably contain an alicyclic moiety; 2) a polymerized electron-deficient monomer; 3) a polymerized cyclic olefin moiety. Particularly preferred polymers of the invention are tetrapolymers or pentapolymers, preferably with differing polymerized norbornene units.
