Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A positive resist composition comprising: (A) a resin which comes to have an enhanced solubility in an alkaline developing solution by an action of an acid; (B) a compound which generates an acid upon irradiation with actinic rays or a radiation; (C) a fluorine-containing compound containing at least one group selected from the groups (x) to (z); and (F) a solvent, and a method of pattern formation with the composition: (x) an alkali-soluble group; (y) a group which decomposes by an action of an alkaline developing solution to enhance a solubility in an alkaline developing solution; and (z) a group which decomposes by an action of an acid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A positive resist composition comprising: (A) a resin which comes to have an enhanced solubility in an alkaline developing solution by an action of an acid and which has no fluorine atom; (B) a compound which generates an acid upon irradiation with actinic rays or a radiation; (C) a fluorine-containing compound having a molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000 and containing (y) a group which decomposes by an action of an alkaline developing solution to enha…
