dissolution inhibitor

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.09472
Compound that, when included in a resist formulation, slows the rate of dissolution.
Notes:
  1. In lithography, the effectiveness of a dissolution inhibitor is changed after exposure to imaging radiation, which facilitates its application in resist formulations.
  2. A typical example of a resist based on a dissolution inhibitor comprises a diazonaphthoquinone within a phenolic resin.
