“…1 As depicted in Figure 1, it has been hypothesized that, if properly designed, these smaller, more homogenous and isotropic molecules will afford smoother lines after development, and thus might enable improvements in LWR without compromising resolution and sensitivity. 2,3 Over the past decade, numerous types of molecular glasses have been designed and evaluated. For positive tone-type resists, MGs have been derived from polyphenolic core structures including dendrimers, 4,5 polyphenols 6 , Noria, 7 truxenes 8 and calixarenes 9 , representative examples of which are depicted in Figure 2.…”
