Abstract
A positive photoresist composition comprises a radiation sensitive acid generator, and a polymer that includes a first repeating unit derived from a sulfonamide monomer including a fluorosulfonamide functionality, a second repeating unit having a pendant acid-labile moiety, and a third repeating unit having a lactone functionality. The positive photoresist composition may be used to form patterned features on a substrate, such as those used in the manufacture of a semiconductor device.
