Summary:1. Field of the Invention New photoresist compositions are provided that contain a halogenated salt, particularly a halogenated counter ion of an ammonium or alkyl ammonium salt. Preferred photoresists of the invention are chemically-amplified positive resists and contain an ammonium or alkyl ammonium salt that has a halogenated anion component such as a halogenated alkyl sulfonate or carboxylate anion component. Inclusion of the halogenated organic salt in a photoresist composition can provide enhanced lithographic performance.
