The invention provides ester-containing
tertiary amine, a preparation method thereof, a
chemical amplification resist composition and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of
photoresist. According to the preparation method of the ester-containing
tertiary amine, provided by the invention, the
acrylate and the substituted
methylamine are subjected to the Michael
addition reaction, and the reaction time for synthesizing the ester-containing
tertiary amine is greatly shortened by adjusting the feeding proportion and the
reaction temperature, controlling the
solvent and adding the catalyst; and the high-purity crude product can be obtained only through simple post-treatment, the raw materials required by the reaction are easy to purchase, and the reaction device is simple and easy to operate, so that the method can be used for large-scale production, and the market blank of the ester-containing
tertiary amine can be filled. In addition, the synthesis method provided by the invention shows excellent and wide substrate tolerance, and can continue to expand the structural
library of the ester
tertiary amine-containing compounds. The ester-containing
tertiary amine provided by the invention can be used as an additive acid
diffusion inhibitor to be added into a
photoresist formula, so that the performance of the
photoresist is remarkably improved.
