1. A positive-acting photoresist composition comprising a base resin polymerized from any of the following monomers:
![]() wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of —H and —CH3;
R2 is selected from the group consisting of —H, an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and an alkoxy group having from
1 to 4 carbon atoms;
R3 is —H, or a hydrophilic-enhancing moiety selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl group —OH, a keto group ═O, carboxylic
acid group —COOH, and alkoxy group —OR4, and a group —OC(O)OR4;
R4 is —CH3 or —C2H5.
