Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a chemically amplified positive resist composition comprising (A) a base resin, (B) a photoacid generator, (C) a thermal crosslinker, and (D) an organic solvent, the base resin is a specific polymer and the crosslinker is a siloxane compound. A coating of the composition is readily developable in aqueous alkaline solution. On heat treatment, it forms a cured resist pattern film of satisfactory profile.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
