Abstract
There is provided a novel phenolic resin which can be used as a coating agent or a resist resin for a semiconductor, which has a high carbon concentration and a low oxygen concentration in the resin, which has a relatively high heat resistance and also a relatively high solvent solubility, and which can be applied to a wet process. There are also provided a material useful for forming a novel photoresist underlayer film which has a relatively high solvent solubility, which can be applied to a wet process, and which is excellent in etching resistance as an underlayer film for a multilayer resist, an underlayer film formed using the same, and a pattern forming method using the same. A resin of the present invention is obtained by reacting a compound having a specified structure and an aldehyde having a specified structure in the presence of an acidic catalyst. In addition, a material for forming an underlayer film for lithography of the present invention includes at least the resin and an organic solvent.
