Abstract
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 recurring units containing a non-leaving hydroxyl group represented by formula (1) wherein R1 is H, methyl or trifluoromethyl, Y is H or OH, at least one Y being OH, and the wavy line indicates an indefinite direction of the bond. The composition is improved in resolution when processed by lithography.
Claims7
A positive resist composition comprising (A) a resin component which becomes soluble in an alkaline developer under the action of an acid and (B) a compound capable of generating an acid in response to actinic light or radiation, wherein
- said resin component (A) is a polymer comprising recurring units containing a non-leaving hydroxyl group, represented by the general formula (1):
- wherein R1 is hydrogen, methyl or trifluoromethyl, Y is hydrogen or hydroxyl, at least one Y being hydroxyl, and the wavy line indicates an indefinite direction of the bond.
A polymerizable compound containing a non-leaving hydroxyl group, represented by the general formula (1a):
- wherein R1 is hydrogen, methyl or trifluoromethyl, Y is hydrogen or hydroxyl, at least one Y being hydroxyl, and the wavy line indicates an indefinite direction of the bond.
