Abstract:
A pattern is formed by coating a resist composition comprising a polymer comprising recurring units having an optionally acid labile group-substituted naphthol group, an acid generator, and an organic solvent onto a substrate, baking to form a resist film, exposing the resist film to high-energy radiation, baking, and developing the exposed film with an organic solvent developer to form a negative pattern wherein the unexposed region of film is dissolved and the exposed region of film is not dissolved. In the process of image formation via positive/negative reversal by organic solvent development, the resist film has a high dissolution contrast and controlled acid diffusion. By subjecting the resist film to exposure through a mask having a lattice-like pattern and organic solvent development, a fine hole pattern can be formed at a high precision of dimensional control.
Abstract:
A negative pattern is formed by applying a resist composition onto a substrate, baking, exposing to high-energy radiation, baking (PEB), and developing the exposed resist film in an organic solvent developer to selectively dissolve the unexposed region of resist film. The resist composition comprising a hydrogenated ROMP polymer and a (meth)acrylate resin displays a high dissolution contrast in organic solvent development, and exhibits high dry etch resistance even when the acid labile group is deprotected through exposure and PEB.

Provided is a magnetic recording medium capable of achieving high reproduction output in a short wavelength region. The magnetic recording medium comprises a nonmagnetic layer comprising a nonmagnetic powder and a binder and a magnetic layer comprising a ferromagnetic powder and a binder in this order on a nonmagnetic support.

Abstract:
In a chemical amplification positive resist composition comprising an organic solvent, a resin and a photoacid generator, at least two polymers having different molecular weights selected from polyhydroxystyrenes having some hydroxyl groups protected with acid labile groups are used. Among the polymers, a high molecular weight polymer has a molecular weight dispersity (Mw1/Mn1) of up to 1.5, and a low molecular weight polymer has a dispersity (Mw2/Mn2) of up to 5.0. The weight average molecular weight ratio Mw1/Mw2 is between 1.5/1 and 10.0/1. The resist composition is highly sensitive to actinic radiation, has improved sensitivity and resolution, and is suitable for use in a fine patterning technique and commercially acceptable.
