Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a polymerizable fluoromonomer represented by the following general formula (1). In the formula, R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, methyl group, fluorine atom, or trifluoromethyl group. n is an integer of 0 or 1, and m is that of from 1 to (3+n). R 2 and R 3 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a protective group. A resist containing a fluoropolymer obtained by polymerizing or copolymerizing the monomer is suitable for use in microfabrication by immersion exposure or by a double patterning process based on immersion exposure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A fluoropolymer comprising: a repeating unit represented by the following general formula (5): where R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, methyl group, fluorine atom, or trifluoromethyl group, and a hydroxyl group represented by —OH and directly bonded to a ring, and a hexafluoroisopropyl hydroxyl group represented by —C(CF 3 ) 2 OH are adjacent to each other. 2. A fluoropolymer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the repeating unit is represented by any one of the following general formulas (6) to (8): where R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, methyl group, fluorine atom, or trifluoromethyl group. 3. A fluoropolymer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the repeating unit has an acid labile group or an adhesive group.
