摘要:
A resist pattern-forming method includes applying a resist underlayer film-forming composition to a substrate to form a resist underlayer film. The resist underlayer film-forming composition includes (A) a polysiloxane. A radiation-sensitive resin composition is applied to the resist underlayer film to form a resist film. The radiation-sensitive resin composition includes (a1) a polymer that changes in polarity and decreases in solubility in an organic solvent due to an acid. The resist film is exposed. The exposed resist film is developed using a developer that includes an organic solvent.

A radiation-sensitive resin composition includes an acid-labile group-containing polymer and photoacid generator. The radiation-sensitive resin composition is used to form a resist pattern using a developer that includes an organic solvent in an amount of 80 mass % or more. The radiation-sensitive resin composition has a contrast value γ of 5.0 to 30.0. The contrast value γ is calculated from a resist dissolution contrast curve obtained when developing the radiation-sensitive resin composition using the organic solvent.
摘要:
A pattern-forming method includes forming a resist film on a substrate using a photoresist composition, exposing the resist film, and developing the exposed resist film using a negative developer that includes an organic solvent. The photoresist composition includes (A) a polymer that includes a structural unit (I) including an acid-labile group that dissociates due to an acid, the solubility of the polymer in the developer decreasing upon dissociation of the acid-labile group, and (B) a photoacid generator. The developer includes a nitrogen-containing compound.

An immersion exposure system 1 performs an exposure process through a liquid 301 provided between an optical element of a projection optical means 121 and a substrate 111. The immersion exposure system 1 includes a liquid supply section 80 which supplies the liquid 301, an exposure section to which the liquid 301 (301b) supplied from the liquid supply section 80 is continuously introduced along a specific direction and which performs an exposure process in a state in which a space between the optical element of the projection optical means 121 and the substrate 111 is filled with the liquid 301, a liquid recovery section 90 which recovers the liquid 301 (301a) passed through the exposure section 110 at a symmetrical position against the substrate 111, and a liquid recycling section 20 which recycles the liquid 301 (301c) recovered by the liquid recovery section 90. The properties of the immersion exposure liquid can be stabilized when applying an immersion method, whereby exposure can be advantageously and continuously performed, and running cost can be reduced.

A method for treating a saturated hydrocarbon compound suitable as a liquid for the immersion exposure method excelling in transmission in the deep ultraviolet region using sulfuric acid in an amount smaller than in a conventional method is provided. The above sulfuric acid washing treatment is the method for producing saturated hydrocarbon compound intended to reduce the absorbance, wherein the second sulfuric acid washing treatment step is conducted after the first sulfuric acid washing treatment step at a temperature 10° C. or more lower than the temperature of the first sulfuric acid washing treatment step. The absorbance of light with a wavelength of 193 nm of the saturated hydrocarbon compound to be treated in the above second sulfuric acid washing treatment step is 0.10 or less per 1 cm of a liquid optical path length, and the above saturated hydrocarbon compound is an alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon compound.
