Abstract

A compound represented by the following formula (I), wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a methyl group or a trifluoromethyl group.

Claims (18)

1. A compound represented by the following formula

wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

2. A method for producing the compound according to claim 1 , comprising reacting 5-oxo-4-oxa-5-homoadamantan-2-ol represented by the following formula (A) with a (meth)acrylic acid compound or its derivative.

3. The production method according to claim 1 , wherein the 5-oxo-4-oxa-5-homoadamantan-2-ol is reacted with methacrylic anhydride.

4. A (meth)acrylic polymer obtained by polymerizing one or more compounds of formula (I) according to claim 1 .

5. A positive photoresist composition comprising the (meth)acrylic polymer according to claim 4 and a photoacid generator.

6. A method for forming a resist pattern comprising:

forming a photoresist film on a substrate comprising the positive photoresist composition according to claim 5 ;

selectively exposing the photoresist film to light; and

subjecting the photoresist film which has been selectively exposed to light to an alkaline development treatment to form a resist pattern.

7. The (meth)acrylic polymer according to claim 4 , which is a homopolymer.

8. The (meth)acrylic polymer according to claim 4 , which is a copolymer.

9. The (meth)acrylic polymer according to claim 4 , obtained by polymerizing said one or more compounds of formula (I) and at least one additional polymerizable monomer.

10. The (meth)acrylic polymer according to claim 9 , obtained by polymerizing said one or more compounds of formula (I) and two additional polymerizable monomers.

11. The (meth)acrylic polymer according to claim 10 , wherein the two additional polymerizable monomers are Monomer A and Monomer B having the following structures:

12. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 is a hydrogen atom.

13. The compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 1 is a methyl group.

14. The (meth)acrylic polymer according to claim 11 , wherein a content of a repeating unit derived from the compound represented by formula (I) in the (meth)acrylic polymer is 25 to 75 mol %.
