Abstract

A radiation-sensitive resin composition includes: a polymer including a first structural unit represented by formula (1); and a radiation-sensitive acid generator. In the formula (1), R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a methyl group, or a trifluoromethyl group; R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; R 5 represents a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and L represents a single bond or a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

Claims (31)

1 : A radiation-sensitive resin composition comprising:

a polymer comprising a first structural unit represented by formula (1); and

a radiation-sensitive acid generator,

wherein, in the formula (1),

R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a methyl group, or a trifluoromethyl group;

R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms;

R 5 represents a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and

L represents a single bond or a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

2 : The radiation-sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 2 represents the monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

3 : The radiation-sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the organic group which is represented by R 2 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or a group obtained by substituting a part or all of hydrogen atoms contained in the monovalent hydrocarbon group with a monovalent heteroatom-containing group.

4 . The radiation-sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

5 : The radiation-sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 4 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

6 : The radiation-sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein R 5 represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

7 : The radiation-sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer further comprises a second structural unit comprising a phenolic hydroxy group.

8 : The radiation-sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer further comprises a third structural unit which is a structural unit other than the first structural unit and comprises an acid-labile group.

9 : A method of forming a resist pattern, the method comprising:

forming a resist film directly or indirectly on a substrate by applying the radiation-sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 ;

exposing the resist film; and

developing the resist film exposed.

10 : A polymer comprising a first structural unit represented by formula (1):

wherein, in the formula (1),

R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a methyl group, or a trifluoromethyl group;

R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms;

R 5 represents a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and

L represents a single bond or a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

11 : A compound represented by formula (1′):

wherein, in the formula (1′),

R 1 represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a methyl group, or a trifluoromethyl group;

R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms;

R 5 represents a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; and

L represents a single bond or a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
