The present invention provides novel fluorine-containing copolymers which comprise at least one fluorinated olefin, at least one polycyclic ethylenically unsaturated monomer with a fused 4-membered heterocyclic ring and, optionally, other components. The copolymers are useful for photoimaging compositions and, in particular, photoresist compositions (positive-working and/or negative-working) for imaging in the production of semiconductor devices. The copolymers are especially useful in photoresist compositions having high UV transparency (particularly at short wavelengths, e.g., 157 nm) which are useful as base resins in resists and potentially in many other applications.

Bis(trifluoromethyl) sulfide, tetrafluoro-1,3-dithietane, and bis(trifluoromethyl) sulfoxide undergo oxidative addition when photolyzed with trifluoromethyl hypochlorite to form a new family of sulfuranes, bis(trifluoromethyl)bis(trifluoromethoxy)sulfurane (1) and tetrafluoro-1,3-tetrakis(trifluoromethoxy)dithietane (3), and of sulfurane oxides, bis(trifluoromethyl)bis(trifluoromethoxy)sulfurane oxide (2). Compounds 1 and 2 are hydrolyzed to bis(trifluoromethyl) sulfoxide and bis(trifluoromethyl) sulfone, respectively. Pyrolysis of 1, 2, or 3 gives bis(trifluoromethyl) sulfide, bis(trifluoromethyl) sulfoxide, and tetrafluoro-1,3-dithietane, respectively, plus bis(trifluoromethyl) peroxide. With primary amines, 1 and 2 yield N-alkylbis(trifluoromethyl)sulfimides and sulfoxyimides, and with N,N′-diethylaminotrimethylsilane, imine formation occurs. Sulfurane oxide 2 forms a new type of stable sulfurane oxide (4), bis(trifluoromethyl)bis(hexafluoroisopropylidenimido)sulfurane oxide, with lithium hexafluoroisopropylidenimine. Sulfurane 1 acts in a similar manner with the nucleophile but the sulfurane 5 is not isolated. Compounds 1 and 2 form α,α,α-(trifluoromethyl)anisole derivatives with substituted phenols. Secondary and tertiary alcohols are dehydrated by 1 or 2 to olefins but symmetrical alkyl ethers result when primary alcohols are reacted.
