Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A resist composition which generates acid upon exposure and exhibits changed solubility in a developing solution under action of acid, and which includes a base component (A) which exhibits changed solubility in a developing solution under action of acid and an acid-generator component (B) which generates acid upon exposure, the acid-generator component (B) including a compound (B0-1) represented by general formula (b0) shown below (in the formula, Yx 01 represents a divalent linking group; n represents an integer of 1 to 3; and M′ m+ represents an organic cation having a valency of m.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A resist composition which generates acid upon exposure and exhibits changed solubility in a developing solution under action of acid, the resist composition comprising: a base component (A) which exhibits changed solubility in a developing solution under action of acid, and an acid-generator component (B) which generates acid upon exposure, the acid-generator component (B) comprising a compound (B0-1) represented by general formula (b0) shown below: wherein Yx 01 represents a divalent linking group; n represents an integer of 1 to 3; and M′ m+ represents an organic cation having a valency of m. 2 . The resist composition according to claim 1 , wherein Yx 01 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms. 3 . The resist composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a photoreactive quencher component (D0). 4 . A method of forming a resist pattern, comprising: forming a resist film on a substrate the a resist composition according to claim 1 ; exposing the resist film; and developing the resist film to form a resist pattern. 5 . An acid generator comprising a compound (B0-1) represented by general formula (b0) shown below: wherein Yx 01 represents a divalent linking group; n represents an integer of 1 to 3; and M′ m+ represents an organic cation having a valency of m. 6 . The acid generator according to claim 5 , wherein Yx 01 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms. 7 . A compound represented by general formula (b0) shown below: wherein Yx 01 represents a divalent linking group; n represents an integer of 1 to 3; and M′ m+ represents an organic cation having a valency of m. 8 . The compound according to claim 7 , wherein Yx 01 represents a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
