The present invention is a water-dispersible resin composition containing: a resin α that includes, in the main chain thereof, a structure M having two aromatic rings linked by a sulfide group, a sulfonyl group, an imide group, or a keto group; and a resin β having a hydrophilic group, the resins α and β being configured to form a co-continuous structure including three-dimensional continuous phases of the resins α and β. The present invention can provide a water-dispersible resin composition that maintains the heat resistance of the polymer material and can be removed only with water.

Organic coating compositions, particularly antireflective coating compositions for use with an overcoated photoresist, are provided that comprise that a blend of two or more resins, where one resin has epoxy groups either pendant or fused to the polymer backbone. Preferred coating compositions include: 1) a first resin that comprises one or more epoxy reactive groups; and 2) a crosslinker resin that is distinct from the first resin and comprises epoxy groups.
