ABSTRACT:
A polymer obtained through copolymerization of a monomer having a hexafluoroalcohol pendant and a monomer having a hexafluoroalcohol pendant whose hydroxyl moiety has been protected is useful as an additive to a photoresist composition and as a protective coating material for immersion lithography. When processed by immersion lithography, the resist composition and protective coating composition exhibit good water repellency and water slip and produce few development defects.
