Abstract

A composition that enables a resist underlayer film to be formed, contains: a compound having at least one partial structure represented by formula (1); and a solvent. In the formula (1), for example, Ar 1 represents a group obtained by removing (p+1) hydrogen atoms on an aromatic carbon ring from a substituted or unsubstituted arene having 6 to 30 ring atoms, or a group obtained by removing (p+1) hydrogen atoms on an aromatic heteroring from a substituted or unsubstituted heteroarene having 5 to 30 ring atoms; Ar 2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 ring atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 to 30 ring atoms, and R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 3 represents an ethynediyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted ethenediyl group.

Claims (17)

1. A composition which enables a resist underlayer film to be formed, the composition comprising:

a product of an acid-catalyzed condensation reaction of a compound represented by formula (A) and a compound represented by formula (B); and

a solvent,

wherein,

in the formula (A), Ar 1A represents an arene having 6 to 30 ring atoms, or a heteroarene having 5 to 30 ring atoms, wherein the arene having 6 to 30 ring atoms and the heteroarene having 5 to 30 ring atoms are each unsubstituted or substituted with a group which does not contain an oxygen atom, and the arene having 6 to 30 ring atoms is anthracene, phenanthrene, tetracene, pyrene, pentacene, coronene, perylene, biphenyl, dimethylbiphenyl, diphenylbiphenyl, fluorene, or 9,9-diphenylfluorene, and

in the formula (B), Ar 2A represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 30 ring atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group having 5 to 30 ring atoms, and R 2A represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or Ar 2A and R 2A taken together represent a ring structure having 3 to 20 ring atoms together with the carbon atom to which Ar 2A and R 2A bond; and R X presents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

2. A pattern-forming method comprising:

applying the composition according to claim 1 directly or indirectly on a substrate to form a resist underlayer film;

applying a composition for forming a resist film directly or indirectly on the resist underlayer film to form a resist film;

exposing the resist film to a radioactive ray; and

developing the resist film exposed.

3. The pattern-forming method according to claim 2 , further comprising before the applying of the composition for forming a resist film,

forming a silicon-containing film directly or indirectly on the resist underlayer film formed.

4. The pattern-forming method according to claim 2 , wherein Ar 2A and R 2A in the formula (B) taken together represent the ring structure having 3 to 20 ring atoms together with the carbon atom to which Ar 2A and R 2A bond, and the ring structure having 3 to 20 ring atoms is a fluorene structure.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 2A in the formula (1) is a monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon group.

6. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein Ar 2A and R 2A in the formula (B) taken together represent the ring structure having 3 to 20 ring atoms together with the carbon atom to which Ar 2A and R 2A bond, and the ring structure having 3 to 20 ring atoms is an aromatic ring structure.

7. The composition according to claim 6 , wherein the ring structure having 3 to 20 ring atoms is a fluorene structure.
