A fine treatment agent according to the present invention is a fine treatment agent for the fine treatment of a multilayer film, including a tungsten film and a silicon oxide film comprising at least one from among hydrogen fluoride, nitric acid, ammonium fluoride and ammonium chloride. Thus, a fine treatment agent which makes fine treatment on a multilayer film, including a tungsten film and a silicon oxide film, possible by controlling the etching rate and a fine treatment method using the same can be provided.

Fine treatment agent and fine treatment method using same

A vinyl alcohol polymer composition (II) is produced by a process of providing a reaction liquid comprising a solution containing a vinyl carboxylate polymer and, a first metal alkoxide (I) having at least one functional group and/or an oligomer (I) having at least one functional group obtained from said metal alkoxide (I); a step of simultaneously effecting (a) saponification of said vinyl carboxylate polymer and (b) reaction in which at least part of the functional groups of said metal alkoxide (I) and/or said oligomer (I) participates, thereby obtaining a vinyl alcohol polymer composition (I); and a step of preparing a solution (A) containing said vinyl alcohol polymer composition (I), followed by adding to the solution (A) a second metal alkoxide (II) and/or an oligomer (II) obtained from the metal alkoxide (II) or another solution (B) containing the metal alkoxide (II) and/or the oligomer (II) derived from the metal alkoxide (II), to prepare an intermediate product solution (C), and then removing the solvent from said solution (C). The vinyl alcohol polymer composition obtained by the above process has excellent gas-barrier properties, in particular excellent gas-barrier properties under high-humidity conditions. The vinyl alcohol polymer composition is suitably usable as a coating agent having good storage stability and little uneven applicability, and as gas-barrier material, in particular laminate having excellent gas-barrier properties under high-humidity conditions.
