Abstract: The present invention provides new photoresist compositions that comprise a resin binder, a photoactive component, particularly an acid generator, and a dye material that contains one or more chromophores that can reduce undesired reflections of exposure radiation. Preferred dye compounds are polymeric materials that include one or more chromophores such as anthracene and other polycyclic moieties that effectively absorb deep UV exposure radiation.

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.
