Abstract
New copolymers are disclosed which are copolymers of 1-(1'-cyanoethenyl)adamantane or 2-norbornene-2-carbonitrile monomer with an acrylate or methacrylate monomer. Resist compositions are also disclosed which comprise one of the disclosed new copolymers and an acid generator. The resist compositions advantageously form thinner resist films on substrates and, on the exposure to light having a short wavelength, such as KrF and ArF excimer laser light, provide finer resist pattern required in the production of advanced, highly integrated semiconductor devices. Novel 1-(1'-cyanoethenyl)adamantane is also disclosed.
Claims5
