Popis: A Chemical Amplification system using silylether and silylester polymers as an acid labile compound was investigated. The effects of their structural parameters were examined in terms of their acid catalyzed decomposition rates. A bulkiness of the substituents on Si atom was the dominant parameter for these silicone polymers. The results supported the proposed mechanism of the acid decomposition that SN2 type nucleophilic attack of water to Si atom is involved as the rate determining step. Disulphone compounds were examined for their usefulness as a photoacid generator to be combined with these silicone polymers. The disulphones desirably exhibited a rapid absorption bleaching with acid generation upon deep UV irradiation. A three components chemical amplification composition, utilizing the disulphones, the silicone polymers as a dissolution inhibitor and a novolac resin, was tested lithographically, and was proved to work as a deep UV positive photoresist.
