following reasons
Two different resist system can be consideredTwo different resist
system can be considered
One is development of EUV-resist based on KrF resists, which are
protected poly(p-hydroxy)styrenes, or based on ArF resists, which
are poly(methacrylate)s containing pendant adamantyl groups.

Large Grain(ca.20nm PHS)
Molecular materials with small grain size than polymeric materials
with large grain size seem to be used as high performance
resists
Dev.
Large grain size polymers (High Mw)
Small grain size polymer (Low Mw)
Large grain size polymers (High Mw)
However, some physical properties such as film forming property,
mechanical property, Tg, and thermal stability of molecular resists
decrease with molecular weight in general.
Therefore, how to overcome these problems is very important for the
development of molecular resists.
This is a challenging research subject for good Engineer and
Scientist.
