摘要:
Onium salts of the formula (1) are novel. R1 is C1-10 alkyl or C6-14 aryl, R2 is H or C1-6 alkyl, p is an integer of 1 to 5, q is an integer of 0 to 4, p+q=5, R3 is C1-10 alkyl or C6-14 aryl, M is a sulfur or iodine atom, and “a” is equal to 3 or 2. A chemical amplification type resist composition comprising the onium salt as a photoacid generator is suited for microfabrication, especially by deep UV lithography because of many advantages including improved resolution, minimized line width variation or shape degradation even on long-term PED, minimized defect after coating, development and stripping, and improved pattern profile after development.

摘要:
A polymer comprising a high proportion of aromatic ring structure-containing units and containing an aromatic sulfonic acid sulfonium salt on a side chain is used to form a chemically amplified positive photoresist composition which is effective in forming a resist pattern having high etch resistance. The polymer overcomes the problems of dissolution in solvents for polymerization and purification and in resist solvents.

A chemically amplified positive resist composition contains a novel trifluoromethanesulfonic or p-toluenesulfonic acid sulfonium salt having at least one tert-butoxycarbonylmethoxy group as an acid labile group. The composition is highly sensitive to high energy radiation, especially KrF excimer laser and has high sensitivity, resolution and plasma etching resistance while the resulting resist pattern is heat resistant.

摘要:
A pattern is formed by coating a first positive resist composition comprising a base resin, a photoacid generator, and a base generator onto a substrate to form a first resist film, patternwise exposure, PEB, and development to form a first resist pattern, heating the first resist pattern for causing the base generator to generate a base for inactivating the pattern to acid, coating a second positive resist composition comprising a C3-C8 alcohol and an optional C6-C12 ether onto the first resist pattern-bearing substrate to form a second resist film, patternwise exposure, PEB, and development to form a second resist pattern.
