Abstract

A composition includes a polymer and a solvent. The polymer includes a group (X) which is at least one selected from the group consisting of: a group including at least two cyano groups; a group including —B(OR) 2 ; a group including —PO(OR) 2 ; and a group including —P(OR) 2 . Each R independently represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. The polymer preferably includes the group (X) at an end of a main chain thereof or at an end of a side chain thereof.

Claims (20)

1 . A method of producing a substrate, the method comprising:

applying a composition directly or indirectly on a base material to form a coating film; and

heating the coating film,

wherein:

the base material comprises a surface layer which comprises:

a first region comprising a metal atom; and

a second region not comprising a metal atom;

the base material comprises a metal atom at least one of in or on at least a part of the surface layer; and

the composition comprises:

a polymer comprising a group (X) which is at least one selected from the group consisting of: a group comprising at least two cyano groups; a group comprising —B(OR) 2 ; a group comprising —PO(OR) 2 ; and a group comprising —P(OR) 2 , wherein, each R independently represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and

a solvent.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal atom constitutes a metal simple substance, an alloy, an electrically conductive nitride, or a silicide.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal atom is an atom of copper, iron, zinc, cobalt, aluminum, titanium, tin, tungsten, zirconium, tantalum, germanium, molybdenum, ruthenium, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, or nickel.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising after the heating,

bringing a removing liquid into contact with the coating film.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the removing liquid comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of an acid and a base.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising applying a rinse agent on the coating film after the heating to remove the coating film formed on the second region, while keeping the coating film formed on the first region remained.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , after the applying of the rinse agent, further comprising depositing a metal oxide selectively on the second region to form a metal oxide pattern.

8 . The method according to claim 6 , after the applying of the rinse agent, bringing a removing liquid into contact with the coating film.

9 . The method according to claim 7 , after the applying of the rinse agent, bringing a removing liquid into contact with the coating film.
