摘要:
This invention discloses a method to form a resist pattern on a to-be-processed substrate by immersion exposure. A resist film is formed on the central portion of the upper surface of the to-be-processed substrate, on a bevel portion of the upper surface, which is obtained by chamfering the peripheral portion of the to-be-processed substrate, and on the end portion of the to-be-processed substrate. Pattern exposure for forming the latent image of a desired pattern on the resist film is executed while a liquid whose refractive index is higher than that of air exists between the resist film and a constituent element of a projection optical system of an exposure apparatus, which is nearest to the to-be-processed substrate. The resist film formed on the end portion of the to-be-processed substrate is removed by supplying a rinse solution to the end portion of the to-be-processed substrate after executing pattern exposure.

There is provided a photosensitive composition suitable for a resist material. This photosensitive composition has a high sensitivity and a high resolution with respect to a light source having a short wavelength, does not cause a phase separation in a film state, and makes it possible to stably form fine resist patterns. The photosensitive composition contains a polymer obtained by protecting an alkali-soluble group of an alkali-soluble polymer by a group which is unstable with respect to an acid, a compound which generates an acid upon being irradiated with light, at least one compound which is selected from the group consisting of an imidazole compound, an alanine compound, an adenine compound, an adenosine compound, and a quaternary ammonium salt compound, and which increases miscibility in a resist film, and a phenol compound.

An anti-reflection film has been formed on an SiO2 film on a silicon substrate formed on a silicon wafer. A chemical amplification positive resist is formed on the anti-reflection film. The resist is exposed to light. Vapor of strong alkali is applied to a surface of the chemical amplification positive resist. The entire resist is developed with a developing solution, thereby forming a resist pattern.

A method of forming a pattern which comprises the steps of forming an underlying film on a work film, forming a resist film on the underlying film, exposing the underlying film and the resist film to a patterning exposure light, and developing predetermined regions thus exposed of the resist film and the underlying film with a developing solution. The underlying film has a property that the solubility thereof to the developing solution can be changed by an action of an acid. The resist film and/or the underlying film contains a compound which is capable of generating the acid.

A polysilane having a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (LPS-I), ##STR1## wherein A is a bivalent organic group, R.sup.1 substituents may be the same or different and are selected from hydrogen atom and substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group and silyl group. The polysilane is excellent in solublity in an organic solvent so that it can be formed into a film by way of a coating method, which is excellent in mechanical strength and heat resistance. The polysilane can be employed as an etching mask to be disposed under a resist in a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device. The polysilane exhibits anti-reflective effect during exposure, a large etch rate ratio in relative to a resist, and excellent dry etching resistance.
