Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a resist composition that can improve coatability (coating film formability) with respect to a substrate in spin coating and close adherence of a resist film and that can form a good pattern, and a resist film in which a good pattern is formed. The resist composition contains a polymer, a solvent, and an aromatic vinyl monomer, and has a content of the aromatic vinyl monomer relative to the polymer of not less than 10 mass ppm and not more than 30,000 mass ppm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A resist composition comprising a polymer, a solvent, and an aromatic vinyl monomer, wherein content of the aromatic vinyl monomer relative to the polymer is not less than 10 mass ppm and less than 7,561 mass ppm. 2. The resist composition according to claim 1 , wherein the aromatic vinyl monomer is an α-methylstyrene derivative. 3. The resist composition according to claim 1 , further comprising an α-halogeno(meth)acrylic acid ester monomer, wherein content of the α-halogeno(meth)acrylic acid ester monomer relative to the polymer is not less than 5 mass ppm and not more than 2,000 mass ppm. 4. The resist composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer includes an α-methylstyrene monomer unit and a methyl α-chloroacrylate monomer unit. 5. A resist film formed on a substrate using the resist composition according to claim 1 .
