Abstract

Polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane methacrylate (POSSMA)/methyl methacrylate(MMA)/tert-butyl methacrylate(TBMA)/tert-butyl acrylate(TBA) copolymers were synthesized by solution polymerization. Their preliminary lithography-related properties were studied. It is shown that the mass ratio of MMA/POSSMA=85.8/14.2 leads to an X-ray resist with a high contrast of 23.5 without sacrificing the sensitivity(1350 mJ/cm2) which remains comparable to that of standard PMMA. By careful manipulation of components and compositions, this generic type of polymer could potentially be utilized as a DUV or e-beam resist as well.
