Abstract

A semiconductor device production composition comprises a product obtained by mixing a metal compound and a compound represented by Formula (1) in a first organic solvent, and a second organic solvent. R and R′ each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a linear or cyclic alkyl group having a carbon number of 2 to 20, a linear or cyclic alkylcarbonyl group having a carbon number of 2 to 20, an aryl group having a carbon number of 6 to 20, or an aryloxy group having a carbon number of 6 to 20, and part of the hydrogen atoms in the cyclic alkyl, cyclic alkylcarbonyl, aryl, or aryloxy group are substituted or unsubstituted. R—O—O—R′  (1)
