POLYMER FOR PHOTOLITHOGRAPHIC MEDIUM COMPOSITION, AND PHOTOLITHOGRAPHIC MEDIUM COMPOSITION
The present disclosure relates to a polymer for a photolithographic medium composition, and the photolithographic medium composition. The polymer has a structural unit represented by general formula (1) below. The polymer of the present disclosure maintains a carbon-rich structure (i.e., a polybenzene ring structure) while a sec-hydroxyl structure is introduced into the structure. The sec-hydroxyl structure can provide cross-linking sites during the film formation process of the material, which can improve the overall cross-linking density of the material, and consequently improve the etching resistance of the material. In addition, the sec-hydroxyl structure can serve as polar interaction sites, and has a strong movement ability, contributing to the improvement of the ability to interact with solvents. Thus, the solubility performance of the material is improved. The polymer of the present disclosure has excellent performance in the solubility and etching resistance, and the solubility of the polymer is improved while the etching resistance is considered. Thus, the polymer is very suitable as the material for an etching-resistant medium layer.
