- the resist film was further subjected to half-reduction by using a reduction projection exposure apparatus (manufactured by Canon Inc., “FPA-3 000 EX 3”). After irradiating with KrF excimer laser light through a phase shift photomask, heating after exposure at 110 ° C for 90 seconds (PEB), 23.
- the resist hole pattern having a diameter of 250 nm was obtained by immersing in a 2.38% by mass aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide maintained at C for 60 seconds and developing, and washing with water for 30 seconds.
- the resist hole pattern thus obtained was subjected to a thermal flow treatment in which the resist hole pattern was heated at 140 ° C. for 90 seconds, and then at 150 ° C. for 90 seconds.
- Table 1 shows the properties of the resist film together with the physical properties of the resist film evaluated earlier.
- Example 3 Except for using a resist composition obtained by adding 2 parts by mass of triphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate as an acid generator to the positive resist composition of Example 1 in the same manner as in Example 1, After processing, a fine resist pattern was formed. Table 1 shows the physical properties in this case.
- Example 3
- a positive resist composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that only 100 parts by mass of the first polyhydroxystyrene was used without using the second polyhydroxystyrene in Example 1.
- a resist pattern was formed in the same manner as in Example 1 using this, and then, first, 140.
- a fine resist pattern was obtained by performing a thermal flow treatment of heating at 90 ° C. for 90 seconds and then at 140 ° C. for 90 seconds. Table 1 shows the physical properties in this case.
- Example 5 In the same manner as in Example 3 except that the positive type resist composition of Example 3 was added with 2 parts by mass of trimethanesulfonyl trimethanesulfonate as an acid generator, the same as in Example 3, was used. After processing, a fine resist pattern was formed. Table 1 shows the physical properties in this case.
- Example 5 Example 5
- Example 6 instead of the resin mixture in Example 1, 70 parts by mass of the first polyhydroxystyrene, a mass average molecular weight of 100,000 in which 30% of hydrogen atoms of hydroxyl groups were substituted with tetrahydroviranyl groups, dispersion A positive resist composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that a mixture of 30 parts by mass of a third polyhydroxystyrene having a degree of 1.2 was used. Table 1 shows the characteristics of this product. Next, using the positive resist composition thus obtained, a resist hole pattern was formed in the same manner as in Example 1, first at 130 ° C. for 90 seconds, and then at 150 ° C. A fine resist pattern was obtained by performing a thermal flow process of heating at 90 ° C. for 90 seconds. Table 1 shows the physical properties in this case. Example 6
- Example 7 Treatment was carried out in the same manner as in Example 5, except that the resist composition of Example 5 was added with 2 parts by mass of triphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate as an acid generator. Then, a fine resist pattern was formed. Table 1 shows the physical properties in this case. Example 7
- Example 1 instead of the resin mixture in Example 1, 75 parts by mass of the first polyhydroxystyrene, a mass average molecular weight in which 30% of hydrogen atoms of a hydroxyl group were substituted with a tert-butyl group was 100,000, dispersion A positive resist composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that a mixture of 25 parts by mass of a fourth polyhydroxystyrene having a degree of 1.2 was used. Table 1 shows the characteristics of this product.
- Example 9 Same as Example 7 except that the positive type resist composition of Example 7 was added with a resist composition obtained by adding 2 parts by mass of triphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate as an acid generator. To form a fine resist pattern. Table 1 shows the physical properties in this case.
- Example 9
- Example 1 The thermal flow treatment in Example 1 was 140. A fine resist pattern was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that heating was performed at 90 ° C. for 90 seconds, at 145 ° C. for 90 seconds, and at 150 ° C. for 90 seconds. Table 1 shows the physical properties in this case. Comparative Example 1
- Example 2 A fine resist pattern was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the thermal flow treatment in Example 1 was changed to heating only once at 90 ° C. for 90 seconds. Table 1 shows the physical properties in this case. Comparative Example 2
- a positive resist composition was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 except that cyclohexanedimethanoldivinylether was not used. Table 1 shows the physical properties of the fine resist pattern obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 using this resist composition.
- the amount of change in the size of the resist pattern per unit temperature can be reduced, so that a fine resist pattern having a high in-plane uniformity of the pattern size and an excellent cross-sectional shape can be formed. be able to.
