Abstract
A positive photosensitive resin having, in the high-molecular main chain, a structure represented by the following general formula (1): and a dithiol compound represented by the following general formula (2): The positive photosensitive resin can alleviate the problems of conventional technique and, when used for formation of a fine patter in semiconductor production, can show a higher resist sensitivity than conventional products and can bring about effects such as reduction in impurities after development. The dithiol compound is novel and extremely suitable for use in production of the positive photosensitive resin.
Claims7
A positive photosensitive resin which has an acid-lable protecting group and, when the group is cleaved by the action of an acid, has an increased solubility in an alkali developing solution, characterized by having, in the polymer main chain, a structure represented by the following general formula (1):
- (wherein R1 and R2 are each a straight chain or branched chain bi-valent saturated hydrocarbon group of 2 to 3 carbon atoms, R3 is a straight chain or branched chain bi-valent saturated hydrocarbon group of 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and R4 to R7 are same or different mono-valent saturated hydrocarbon groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms).
A dithiol compound represented by the following general formula (2):
- (wherein R1 and R2 are each a straight chain or branched chain bi-valent saturated hydrocarbon group of 2 to 3 carbon atoms, R3 is a straight chain or branched chain bi-valent saturated hydrocarbon group of 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and R4 to R7 are same or different mono-valent saturated hydrocarbon groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms).
