Abstract

A radiation sensitive resin composition includes a first polymer having a group represented by a following formula (1), and a radiation sensitive acid generator. n is an integer of 2 to 4. X represents a single bond or a bivalent organic group. A represents a (n+1) valent linking group. Each Q independently represents a group that includes an alkali-dissociable group.

Claims (30)

1. A radiation sensitive resin composition comprising:

a first polymer having a group represented by a following formula (1); and

a radiation sensitive acid generator,

wherein in the formula (1),

n is an integer of 2 to 4,

X represents a single bond or a bivalent organic group,

A represents an (n+1) valent linking group, and

each Q independently represents a group that includes an alkali-dissociable group and that is represented by a following formula (2-2):

wherein in the formula (2-2),

each of R 6 and R 7 independently represents a hydrogen atom or a chain hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and

R 8 represents a monovalent organic group.

2. The radiation sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein A in the formula (1) represents an alicyclic group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, or a chain hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

3. The radiation sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of structural units having the group represented by the formula (1) with respect to entire structural units that constitute the first polymer is no less than 5 mol %.

4. The radiation sensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , further comprising: a second polymer which is a base polymer and which has an acid-dissociable group.

5. A method for forming a pattern, comprising:

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

exposing at least a part of the resist film by irradiating with a radioactive ray by liquid immersion lithography;

heating the exposed resist film; and

developing the heated resist film.

6. A polymer comprising:

a group represented by a following formula (1):

wherein in the formula (1),

n is an integer of 2 to 4,

X represents a single bond or a bivalent organic group,

A represents an (n+1) valent linking group, and

each Q independently represents a group that includes an alkali-dissociable group and that is represented by a following formula (2-2):

wherein in the formula (2-2),

each of R 6 and R 7 independently represents a hydrogen atom or a chain hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and

R 8 represents a monovalent organic group.

7. The polymer according to claim 6 , wherein A in the formula (1) represents an alicyclic group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms or a chain hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
