  • Patent number: 8043789
    Abstract: A photosensitive compound whose size is smaller than conventional polymer for photoresist, and which has well-defined (uniform) structure, and a photoresist composition including the same are disclosed. The photosensitive compound represented by the following formula. Also, the present invention provides a photoresist composition comprising 1 to 85 wt % (weight %) of the photosensitive compound; 0.05 to 15 weight parts of a photo-acid generator with respect to 100 weight parts of the photosensitive compound; and 10 to 5000 weight parts of an organic solvent. In the formula, n is 0 or 1, x is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, y is 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, z is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, R, R? and R? are independently hydrocarbon group of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and R?? is a hydrogen atom or hydrocarbon group of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably 2 to 20 carbon atoms.

  • Patent number: 7935474
    Abstract: An acid-amplifier having an acetal group and a photoresist composition including the same, are disclosed. The acid-amplifier produces an acid (second acid) during a post-exposure-bake (PEB), which is induced by an acid (first acid) generated from a photo-acid generator (PAG) at the exposure process so that a line edge roughness (LER) of the photoresist pattern and photoresist energy sensitivity are improved. The acid-amplifier has a structure of following Formula 1. in Formula 1, R is C4˜C20 mono-cyclic or multi-cyclic saturated hydrocarbon, R1 is C1˜C10 linear hydrocarbon, C1˜C10 perfluoro compound or C5˜C20 aromatic compound, Ra and Rb are independently hydrogen atom or C1˜C4 saturated hydrocarbon and A is independently oxygen atom (O) or sulfur atom (S).
