摘要:
A chemically amplified resist composition is provided comprising (A) a specific tertiary amine compound, (B) a specific acid generator, (C) a base resin having an acidic functional group protected with an acid labile group, which is substantially insoluble in alkaline developer and turns soluble in alkaline developer upon deprotection of the acid labile group, and (D) an organic solvent. The resist composition has a high resolution, improved defect control in the immersion lithography, and good shelf stability.
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.

A positive resist composition comprising (A) a polymer comprising recurring units of a specific structure adapted to generate an acid in response to high-energy radiation and acid labile units, the polymer having an alkali solubility that increases under the action of an acid, and (B) a sulfonium salt of a specific structure exhibits a high resolution in forming fine size patterns, typically trench patterns and hole patterns. Lithographic properties of profile, DOF and roughness are improved.

摘要:
A chemically amplified positive resist composition of better performance can be formulated using a polymer having a quencher incorporated therein, specifically a polymer comprising recurring units having a carbamate structure which is decomposed with an acid to generate an amino group and optionally recurring units having an acid labile group capable of generating a carboxyl and/or hydroxyl group under the action of an acid. The polymer is highly effective for suppressing diffusion of acid and diffuses little itself, and the composition forms a pattern of rectangular profile at a high resolution.
