Poly(siloxyethylene glycol)) with pendant vinyl groups (PVSE) was syn
thesized by polycondensation of oligo(ethylene glycol) (MW = 300) and
diaminodivinylsilane. PVSE300 thus obtained is soluble in cold water.
The PVSE300 coupled with a polythiol compound shows properties of a ne
gative working photoresist. A negative tone image was obtained by deve
lopment with water at 4 degrees C. PVSE300 is a new type of Si-contain
ing polymer resist which can be developed by water.
