Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a chemically-amplified positive resist composition including a sulfonium salt capable of providing a pattern having an extremely high resolution with low line edge roughness, and also provides a resist patterning process using the same. The present invention was accomplished by a chemically-amplified positive resist composition including: (A) a salt represented by the following general formula (1); and (B) a resin containing a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (U-1) that dissolves by acid action and increases solubility in an alkaline developer, and a resist patterning process using the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A chemically-amplified positive resist composition for high energy beam exposure comprising: (A) a salt represented by the following general formula (1); and (B) a resin containing a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (U-1) that dissolves by acid action and increases solubility in an alkaline developer, wherein R 0 represents a h…
