Abstract: Antihalation compositions and methods for reducing the reflection of exposure radiation of a photoresist overcoated said compositions. The antihalation compositions of the invention comprise a resin binder and material capable of causing a thermally induced crosslinking reaction of the resin binder.
Abstract: To provide a positive type photoresist composition which is capable of forming a resist pattern having an excellent adhesion to a substrate, a positive type photoresist composition comprising a polymer containing a specified amount of a polypropylene oxide group and a polyethylene oxide group is provided.
