摘要:
A positive resist composition comprises (A) a resin component which becomes soluble in an alkaline developer under the action of an acid and (B) an acid generator. The resin (A) is a polymer comprising specific recurring units, represented by formula (1). The acid generator (B) is a specific sulfonium salt compound. When processed by lithography, the composition is improved in resolution and forms a pattern with a minimal LER. Herein R1 is H or methyl, R2 is an acid labile group, R3 is CO2R4 when X is CH2, R3 is H or CO2R4 when X is O, R4 is a monovalent C1-C20 hydrocarbon group, and m is 1 or 2.

Provided are sulfonyldiazomethane compounds and photoacid generators suited for resist materials which generate less foreign matters after application, development and peeling, and in particular, are excellent in the pattern profile after the development; and resist materials and patterning process using them. Provided are sulfonyldiazomethane compounds represented by formula (1): Also provides are photoacid generators containing the sulfonyldiazomethane compounds, and a chemical amplification resist material comprising (A) a resin which changes its solubility in an alkali developer by action of an acid, and (B) a sulfonyldiazomethane compound of formula (1) capable of generating an acid by exposure to radiation. Provided is a patterning process comprising steps of applying the above-described resist material onto a substrate to form a coating, heating the coating, exposing the coating, and developing the exposed coating in a developer after an optional heat treatment.

摘要:
A sulfonium salt of a naphthyltetrahydrothiophenium cation having a fluoroalkoxy chain with a specific anion is provided. The sulfonium salt is used as a photoacid generator to form a resist composition which when processed by immersion lithography, offers advantages of restrained dissolution in the immersion water and less pattern dependence or dark/bright bias.
