Process materials (gases and chemicals)
Which combination correctly lists the main components of chemically amplified photoresist?
- ABase resin, photoacid generator (PAG) and solvent
- BCopper particles and water
- CSingle-crystal silicon and oxygen
Show answer and explanation
Answer: A. Base resin, photoacid generator (PAG) and solvent
A chemically amplified resist consists of a base resin whose solubility in developer changes, a photoacid generator that produces acid on exposure, and a solvent for coating. It also contains additives such as quenchers that control acid diffusion.
