Popis: We have developed a two‐component (resin‐solution inhibitor) resist system having good photosensitivity in the 230–300 nm range. The resin is an optically transparent methyl methacrylate‐methacrylic acid copolymer that is soluble in aqueous alkali. The second component is one of a family of o‐nitrobenzyl carboxylates that are initially insoluble in the alkaline developer but are cleaved to soluble components upon irradiation. A number of o‐nitrobenzyl alcohol esters have been prepared and examined for use in this two‐component system. They have proven useful in the development of sensitive high‐resolution short‐wavelength photoresists which are described.
