1. A method of making a resist, said method comprising:
heating an acid-reactive organic substance and a thermal acid generator, wherein said heating of the thermal acid generator releases a Lewis acid to induce a polymerization or cross-linking of said acid-reactive organic substance to make said resist;
wherein the polymerization or cross-linking is performed at a heating condition of 200 to 300° C. for 1 to 100 minutes; and
wherein the thermal acid generator is
