The disclosed subject matter relates to resist compositions comprising a phenolic resin component, a photoactive 2,1,5-diazonaphthoquinonesulfonate component (PAC), a solvent component that do not include or require the use of an added photo acid generator (PAG). The PAC is a free PAC, a coupled PAC (PACb) or a combination thereof that includes a substituted or unsubstituted 2,1,5-DNQ material or compound onto which a substituted or unsubstituted 2,1,5-DNQ material is appended that, when UV exposed, do not form sulfonic acid. The phenolic resin component is a Novolak derivative in which some or all of the free hydroxy groups are protected with an acid cleavable acetal moiety which can include a PACb moiety. The disclosed subject matter also relates to the methods of using the present compositions in either in thick for thin film photoresist device manufacturing methodologies.

The present disclosure provides a positive photoresist composition including a major adhesive material and a photosensitizer, wherein the photoresist composition further includes a photoisomerizable compound which would be converted into an ionic structure with an increased degree of molecular polarity after ultraviolet irradiation. The formation of the ionic structure with increased polarity of the molecule reduces the adhesion between the positive photoresist and the organic film layer, facilitates stripping after formation of the via, and improves the product rate of pass. Further, the present disclosure provides a via-forming method using the positive resist composition, a display substrate including the via formed by the via-forming method, and a display device including the display substrate.
