Abstract
A positive-tone radiation-sensitive resin composition comprising: (A) a low molecular weight compound having at least one amino group in which the nitrogen atom has at least one hydrogen atom bonded thereto and at least one of the hydrogen atoms is replaced by a t-butoxycarbonyl group, (B) a photoacid generator, and (C-1) a resin insoluble or scarcely soluble in alkali which is protected by an acid-dissociable group and becomes soluble in alkali when the acid-dissociable group dissociates or (C-2) an alkali-soluble resin and an alkali solubility control agent is disclosed. Also disclosed is a negative-tone radiation-sensitive resin composition comprising the low molecular weight compound (A), the photoacid generator (B), an alkali-soluble resin (D), and a compound capable of crosslinking with the alkali-soluble resin in the presence of an acid(E). The composition are useful as a chemically amplified resist which effectively responds to various radiations, exhibits superior sensitivity and resolution, forms fine patterns at a high precision and in a stable manner even if the patterns are isolated line patterns.
