Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photoresists, and in particular to a polymer and a deprotection system, method and application. Background Art

[0002] Photoresist refers to an etching-resistant film material whose solubility changes through irradiation or radiation of ultraviolet light, electron beam, ion beam, X-ray, etc. The solubility change of photoresist is closely related to the contrast ratio of photoresist. PHS resin (polyhydroxystyrene) is a resin used to produce photosensitive resins and other photosensitive imaging systems. Compared with traditional phenolic resins, PHS resin has the advantages of low absorption rate of deep ultraviolet light, high sensitivity, high resolution, and can improve the etching resistance of polymers. It is an important component of photoresist. The most commonly used protecting group in PHS resin is acetal group. The protection ratio of acetal group to PHS resin determines the dissolution rate of photoresist. Therefore, it is particularly important to determine the protection ratio of acetal group to PHS resin and prepare acetal-protected PHS resin with corresponding ratio.

[0003] The traditional method for preparing acetal-protected PHS resin is to prepare a PHS precursor resin, deprotect it to form a PHS resin, and then graft it. In this process, a large amount of chemicals are required, which is likely to cause residues and greatly increase the risk of introducing metal ion impurities. In addition, due to the numerous and complex process steps, continuous production is difficult. In order to meet the strict requirements of the photoresist industry for stability, it will greatly increase the difficulty of control and production costs.
