We introduce here a novel approach to highly EUV transparent, carbon dense polymers for application as photoresist materials. The backbone of the prototype polymer consists of bicyclic hydrocarbons spiro-fused to cyclohexane moieties decorated with pendant t-butyl esters. This high polymer is formed through the free radical cyclopolymerization of functionalized norbornane derivatives. Imaging experiments conducted at 193 nm demonstrate features below 0.15 microns.
