A resist composition and a pattern forming method using the composition are provided, the resist composition including: (A) a resin that decomposes by an action of an acid to increase a solubility of the resin (A) in an alkali developer; (B) a compound capable of generating an acid upon irradiation with actinic rays or radiation; (C) a compound represented by formula (C1); and (D) a solvent: 

Resist composition and pattern forming method using the same

According to one embodiment, an actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition includes (A) a resin containing the repeating units of formulae (I), (II) and (III) that when acted on by an acid, becomes soluble in an alkali developer, and (B) a compound that when irradiated with actinic rays or radiation, generates a fluorine-containing acid, wherein each of Rindependently represents a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted methyl group, Rrepresents a halogen atom, an optionally substituted alkyl group, an optionally substituted cycloalkyl group, an optionally substituted aryl group or an optionally substituted aralkyl group, and n is an integer of 0 to 5, provided that when n is 2 or greater, multiple Rs may be identical to or different from each other.

Actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition and method of forming pattern therewith

A resist composition includes (A) a resin including: a repeating unit capable of decomposing by the action of an acid to increase solubility in an alkali developing solution and represented by formula (I), and a repeating unit represented by formula (II); and (B) a compound capable of generating an acid upon irradiation with actinic ray or radiation: wherein A represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxyl group, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a nitro group, an acyl group, an acyloxy group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, a carboxyl group, an alkyloxycarbonyl group, an alkylcarbonyloxy group, or an aralkyl group; Ra represents a group containing a group capable of decomposing by the action of an acid; Rb represents an alkylene group, a cycloalkylene group, or a group of combining these groups; Y represents a heterocyclic group; and m represents 0 or 1.

Resist composition and pattern-forming method using the same

A positive resist composition comprising (A) a resin which contains all of the repeating units represented by formulae (I) to (III), and becomes soluble in an alkali developer by the action of an acid, and (B) a compound capable of generating an acid upon irradiation with an actinic ray or radiation; and a pattern forming method using the composition. A represents a group capable of decomposing and leaving by the action of an acid, each Rindependently represents hydrogen or a methyl group, Rrepresents a phenyl group or a cyclohexyl group, m represents 1 or 2, and n represents an integer of 0 to 2. By virtue of this construction, a resist composition ensuring high resolution, good pattern profile, sufficient depth of focus, little defects after development, and sufficiently high plasma etching resistance is provided.
