Abstract
Methacrylates were the first class of resist to be examined for use in 193nm lithography. They are still useful today, but have a very different molecular structure because of the requirements for development in 0.262N tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide and high etching resistance. A major driving force for their continued use is the availability of a wide variety of methacrylate monomers and the use of free racial polymerization which imparts a wide range of properties to the polymers and makes them very cost effective.
