Abstract
The invention comprises a polymer formulated for an acid hardened resist system. The polymer is one having acid labile blocking groups and inert blocking groups. The photoresist comprises the polymer and a photoacid generator. The inclusion of inert blocking groups on the resin improves shelf life without deleteriously affecting photolithographic properties of the resist.
