  • Publication number: 20030082481
    Abstract: Photoresist additives for preventing the acid generated in the exposed area during the course of a photolithography process from being diffused to the unexposed area, photoresist compositions containing the same, and a process for forming a photoresist pattern using the same. Photoresist compositions comprising the disclosed additive can prevent acid diffusion effectively even if the additive is used in low concentrations, thereby improving LER, resulting in excellent profiles and lowering optimum irradiation energies.
