摘要:
A chemically amplified positive resist composition comprises an acid-decomposable keto ester compound of steroid skeleton which is insoluble in alkaline developer, but turns soluble in alkaline developer under the action of acid. The composition is exposed to EB, deep-UV or EUV and developed to form a pattern with a high resolution and improved LER.
摘要:
A double pattern is formed by coating a first positive resist composition onto a substrate, patternwise exposure to radiation, and development with alkaline developer to form a first resist pattern; applying heat and/or radiation to render the first resist pattern insoluble in a second solvent and in a second developer; coating a second resist composition on the first resist pattern, patternwise exposure to radiation, and development with second developer to form a second resist pattern. The resin in the first resist composition comprises recurring units of formula (1) wherein R1 is H, CH3 or CF3, m=1 or 2, n=0 or 1.
摘要:
In a mixture of silsesquioxane compounds comprising silsesquioxane units having a side chain including a direct bond between a silicon atom and a norbornane skeleton and having a degree of condensation of substantially 100%, a dimethylene chain of the norbornane skeleton remote from the silicon bonded side is substituted with at least one substituent group other than hydrogen, and an isomer having a bulkier substituent group on the dimethylene chain at an exo position is present in a higher proportion.
摘要:
A naphthalene derivative having formula (1) is provided wherein cyclic structures Ar1 and Ar2 denote a benzene or naphthalene ring, X is a single bond or C1-C10 alkylene, m is 0 or 1, and n is such a natural number as to provide a molecular weight of up to 100,000. A material comprising the naphthalene derivative or a polymer comprising the naphthalene derivative is spin coated to form a resist bottom layer having improved properties. A pattern forming process in which a resist bottom layer formed by spin coating is combined with an inorganic hard mask formed by CVD is available.

There is disclosed a resist underlayer film composition of a multilayer resist film used in lithography including (A) a fullerene derivative having a carboxyl group protected by a thermally labile group and (B) an organic solvent. There can be a resist underlayer film composition of a multilayer resist film used in lithography for forming a resist underlayer in which generation of wiggling in substrate etching can be highly suppressed and the poisoning problem in forming an upper layer pattern using a chemically amplified resist can be avoided, a process for forming the resist underlayer film, a patterning process and a fullerene derivative.
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. When processed by ArF lithography, the composition is improved in resolution and forms a pattern with a minimal line edge roughness.

摘要:
A resist composition is provided comprising a silicone resin, a photoacid generator, a nitrogen-containing organic compound, and a solvent. The silicone resin is obtained through cohydrolytic condensation of a mixture of three silane monomers containing a norbornane group having hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol, an organic group having a carboxyl group protected with an acid labile group, and a lactone ring-bearing organic group, respectively. The resist composition has satisfactory resolution and overcomes the problem of a low selective etching ratio between resist film and organic film during oxygen reactive etching.
摘要:
Photoacid generators are provided by O-arylsulfonyl-oxime compounds having formula (1) wherein R is H, F, Cl, NO2, alkyl or alkoxy, n is 0 or 1, m is 1 or 2, r is 0 to 4, r′ is 0 to 5, k is 0 to 4, and G′ and G″ are S or —CH═CH—. Chemically amplified resist compositions comprising the photoacid generators have many advantages including improved resolution, improved focus latitude, minimized line width variation or shape degradation even on long-term PED, and improved pattern profile after development. Because of high resolution, the compositions are suited for microfabrication, especially by deep UV lithography.
