Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radiation-sensitive resin composition which, when used for a chemically amplified resist sensitive to a radiation, especially electron beams, exhibits excellence in resolution, sensitivity, and line edge roughness and to provide a novel copolymer useful as the resin composition of the composition. SOLUTION: The copolymer has as a copolymer component repeating units containing a protective group represented by formula (1) and has a polystyrene-equivalent weight-average molecular weight of 3,000 to 100,000. In formula (1), R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a 1 to 4C alkyl group; R 2 and R 3 are each a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group, provided that at least either of them is a monovalent organic group; and l is an integer of 1 to 3.

SOLUTION: This radiation sensitive composition contains the following (A) and (B): (A) a compound represented by formula (1) (Wherein, R1, R2 and R3 each independently represent an acid-dissociable functional group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atom or a substituted methyl group, a 1-substituted ethyl group, a 1-substituted-n-propyl group, a 1-branched alkyl group, a silyl group, an acyl group, a 1-substituted alkoxymethyl group and a cyclic acid-dissociable group. At least one of R1, R2 and R3 is an acid- dissociable functional group). (B) a compound generating an acid by irradiation with radioactive rays.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce film thickness after wet development by a relatively large value and to form a resist pattern free from development defects. SOLUTION: The composition of a chemically amplified positive radiation sensitive resin composition is controlled in such a way that the film thickness of the unexposed part of a resist film comprising the radiation sensitive resin composition is reduced after wet development from the film thickness before wet development by 100-400 Å.
