Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A chemically amplified resist composition comprising a base polymer and an amine quencher in the form of a β-alanine, γ-aminobutyric acid, 5-aminovaleric acid, 6-aminocaproic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid. 8-aminooctanoic acid or 9-aminononanoic acid derivative having an unsubstituted carboxyl group has a high contrast of alkaline dissolution in rate before and after exposure and forms a pattern of good profile at a high resolution, minimal roughness and wide DOF.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A chemically amplified resist composition comprising a base polymer and a basic compound of the general formula (1): wherein R 1 is hydrogen, or a straight, branched or cyclic C 1 -C 30 alkyl, C 6 -C 30 aryl, C 7 -C 30 aralkyl, C 2 -C 30 alkenyl, C 2 -C 10 alkynyl, or C 4 -C 12 heterocyclic-bearing group, or a combination of such groups, whic…
