    Abstract: Multiple-pattern forming methods are provided. The methods comprise: (a) providing a semiconductor substrate comprising one or more layers to be patterned; (b) forming a photoresist layer over the one or more layers to be patterned, wherein the photoresist layer is formed from a composition comprising: a matrix polymer comprising an acid labile group; a photoacid generator; and a solvent; (c) patternwise exposing the photoresist layer to activating radiation; (d) baking the exposed photoresist layer; (e) contacting the baked photoresist layer with a first developer to form a first resist pattern; (f) treating the first resist pattern with a coating composition comprising an expedient for switching solubility of a sidewall region of the first resist pattern from soluble to insoluble with respect to a second developer that is different from the first developer; and (g) contacting the treated first resist pattern with the second developer to remove portions of the first resist pattern, leaving the solubility-switched sidewall region to form a multiple-pattern. The methods have particular applicability to the semiconductor manufacturing industry for the formation of fine lithographic patterns.

    Abstract: A photoacid generator compound has formula (1) wherein n is zero or 1; and R1-R6 are each independently hydrogen, halogen, or unsubstituted or substituted C1-20 linear or branched alkyl, C1-20 cycloalkyl, C6-20 aryl, C3-20 heteroaryl, or an acid-generating group having the structure *L-Z−M+] wherein L is an unsubstituted or substituted C1-50 divalent group; Z− is a monovalent anionic group; and M+ is an iodonium or sulfonium cation. Geminal R groups can combine to form a ring with the carbon to which they are attached, as long as no more than two such rings are formed. At least one of R1-R6 includes the acid-generating group or two germinal R groups combine to form the acid-generating group. Also described are a photoresist composition incorporating the photoacid generator compound, a coated substrate including a layer of the photoresist composition, and a method of forming an electronic device using a layer of the photoresist composition.
