Abstract
Photoacid generators have formula (1) wherein Rand Rare alkyl, or Rand R, taken together, may form a C–Cring structure with sulfur, R is hydrogen or alkyl, R' is hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxyl or nitro, n is 1 to 6, and Yis alkylsulfonate, arylsulfonate, bisalkylsulfonylimide or trisalkylsulfonylmethide. Chemically amplified resist compositions comprising the same have improved resolution, thermal stability, storage stability and minimized line edge roughness
