Popis: Copolymers of aliphatic aldehydes containing a trimethylsilyl group were prepared at −78°C in toluene using diethylaluminum diphenylamide as an initiator. The copolymer depolymerized into monomeric aldehydes on exposure to soft X-rays. When the copolymer was used as a soft X-ray resist, almost complete development was accomplished by exposure alone. No development step was required. The soft X-ray sensitivity of poly(3-trimethylsilylpropanal-co-propanal) was 50 mJ/cm2 at the film thickness of 1.0 μm. A composite resist system consisting of a novolac resin and an aldehyde copolymer containing trimethylsilyl groups has also been developed and used as an alkaline-developable positive electron-beam and soft X-ray resist.
