  • Patent number: 5750680
    Abstract: N-vinyllactam derivatives protected at the 3-position are provided and represented by the following formula (I). These are polymerized into homo- and copolymers for use in microlithography of semiconductor manufacture. The polymers are used as a photoresist material suitable for a deep UV process so that pictures of high sensitivity and high resolution can be obtained. In addition, ultrafine circuits can be formed and an exceptional improvement in pattern formation can be accomplished through the use of the photoresist of the invention.
