Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A photoresist composition comprising: a resin having an acid-labile group, an acid generator, and a compound represented by formula (I): wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently represents a C1-C24 hydrocarbon group in which a hydrogen atom can be replaced by a substituent and in which a methylene group can be replaced by an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or a carbonyl group.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A photoresist composition comprising: a resin having an acid-labile group, an-acid-generator, and a compound represented by formula (I): wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently represents a C1-C24 hydrocarbon group in which a hydrogen atom can be replaced by a substituent and in which a methylene group can be replaced by an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or a carbonyl group. 2. The photoresist composition according to claim 1 wherein R 1 is a group represented by R 4 —CO—O—* where * represents a binding site to I, R 4 represents a C1-C22 hydrocarbon group in which a methylene group can be replaced by an oxygen atom or a carbonyl group and in which a hydrogen atom can be replaced by a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom or a nitro group. 3. The photoresist composition according to claim 1 wherein R 2 is a C6-C24 aromatic hydrocarbon group in which a hydrogen atom can be replaced by a substituent. 4. The photoresist composition according to claim 1 which further comprises an onium carboxylic acid salt. 5. The photoresist composition according to claim 4 wherein the onium salt is a salt represented by formula (D): in which R D1 and R D2 respectively represent a C1-C12 monovalent hydrocarbon group, a C1-C6 alkoxy group, a C2-C7 acyl group, a C2-C7 acyloxy group, a C2-C7 alkoxycarbonyl group, a nitro group or a halogen atom, and the symbols m′ and n′ each independently represent an integer of 0 to 4.
