The other components (F) are not particularly limited and it is possible to use various additives known in the resist field, for example, sensitizers, dissolution inhibitors, surfactants, stabilizers and dyes.
The resist composition of the present invention can be prepared by mixing a carboxylate (I), an acid generator (B), and if necessary, a resin (A), resins other than the resin (A), a solvent (E), a quencher (C) and other components (F). The order of mixing these components is any order and is not particularly limited.

It is possible to select, as the mixing time, appropriate time from 0.5 to 24 hours according to the mixing temperature. The mixing means is not particularly limited and it is possible to use mixing with stirring.
After mixing the respective components, the mixture is preferably filtered through a filter having a pore diameter of about 0.003 to 0.2 μm.
The method for producing a resist pattern of the present invention include:
The resist composition can be usually applied on a substrate using a conventionally used apparatus, such as a spin coater. Examples of the substrate include inorganic substrates such as a silicon wafer, and organic substrates in which a resist film is formed on the surface. Before applying the resist composition, the substrate may be washed, and an organic antireflection film may be formed on the substrate.
The solvent is removed by drying the applied composition to form a composition layer. Drying is performed by evaporating the solvent using a heating device such as a hot plate (so-called “prebake”), or a decompression device. The heating temperature is preferably 50 to 200° C. and the heating time is preferably 10 to 180 seconds. The pressure during drying under reduced pressure is preferably about 1 to 1.0×105 Pa.
The composition layer thus obtained is usually exposed using an aligner. The aligner may be a liquid immersion aligner. It is possible to use, as an exposure source, various exposure sources, for example, exposure sources capable of emitting laser beam in an ultraviolet region such as KrF excimer laser (wavelength of 248 nm), ArF excimer laser (wavelength of 193 nm) and F2 excimer laser (wavelength of 157 nm), an exposure source capable of emitting harmonic laser beam in a far-ultraviolet or vacuum ultra violet region by wavelength-converting laser beam from a solid-state laser source (YAG or semiconductor laser), an exposure source capable of emitting electron beam or extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) and the like. In the present specification, such exposure to radiation is sometimes collectively referred to as “exposure”. The exposure is usually performed through a mask corresponding to a pattern to be required. When electron beam is used as the exposure source, exposure may be performed by direct writing without using the mask.
The exposed composition layer is subjected to a heat treatment (so-called “post-exposure bake”) to promote the deprotection reaction in an acid-labile group. The heating temperature is usually about 50 to 200° C., and preferably about 70 to 150° C. It is also possible to perform a chemical treatment (silylation) which adjusts the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the resin on a surface side of the composition after heating. Before performing the development, the steps of application of the resist composition, drying, exposure and heating may be repeatedly performed on the exposed composition layer.
The heated composition layer is usually developed with a developing solution using a development apparatus. Examples of the developing method include a dipping method, a paddle method, a spraying method, a dynamic dispensing method and the like. The developing temperature is preferably, for example, 5 to 60° C. and the developing time is preferably, for example, 5 to 300 seconds. It is possible to produce a positive resist pattern or negative resist pattern by selecting the type of the developing solution as follows.
When the positive resist pattern is produced from the resist composition of the present invention, an alkaline developing solution is used as the developing solution. The alkaline developing solution may be various aqueous alkaline solutions used in this field. Examples thereof include aqueous solutions of tetramethylammonium hydroxide and (2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium hydroxide (commonly known as choline). The surfactant may be contained in the alkaline developing solution.
It is preferable that the developed resist pattern is washed with ultrapure water and then water remaining on the substrate and the pattern is removed.
When the negative resist pattern is produced from the resist composition of the present invention, a developing solution containing an organic solvent (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “organic developing solution”) is used as the developing solution.
Examples of the organic solvent contained in the organic developing solution include ketone solvents such as 2-hexanone and 2-heptanone; glycol ether ester solvents such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate; ester solvents such as butyl acetate; glycol ether solvents such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether; amide solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide; and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as anisole.
The content of the organic solvent in the organic developing solution is preferably 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 95% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and still more preferably the organic developing solution is substantially composed of the organic solvent.
Particularly, the organic developing solution is preferably a developing solution containing butyl acetate and/or 2-heptanone. The total content of butyl acetate and 2-heptanone in the organic developing solution is preferably 50% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and still more preferably the organic developing solution is substantially composed of butyl acetate and/or 2-heptanone.
The surfactant may be contained in the organic developing solution. A trace amount of water may be contained in the organic developing solution.
During development, the development may be stopped by replacing by a solvent with the type different from that of the organic developing solution.
The developed resist pattern is preferably washed with a rinsing solution. The rinsing solution is not particularly limited as long as it does not dissolve the resist pattern, and it is possible to use a solution containing an ordinary organic solvent which is preferably an alcohol solvent or an ester solvent.
After washing, the rinsing solution remaining on the substrate and the pattern is preferably removed.
The resist composition of the present invention is suitable as a resist composition for exposure of KrF excimer laser, a resist composition for exposure of ArF excimer laser, a resist composition for exposure of electron beam (EB) or a resist composition for exposure of EUV, particularly a resist composition for exposure of electron beam (EB) or a resist composition for exposure of EUV, and the resist composition is useful for fine processing of semiconductors.

Compounds (monomers) used in synthesis of a resin (A) are shown below. Hereinafter, these compounds are referred to as “monomer (a1-2-6)” or the like according to the formula number.
Using a monomer (a1-2-6), a monomer (a2-1-3), a monomer (a3-4-2) and a monomer (a1-4-19) as monomers, these monomers were mixed in a molar ratio of 53:3:12:32 [monomer (a1-2-6):monomer (a2-1-3):monomer (a3-4-2):monomer (a1-4-19)], and then this monomer mixture was mixed with methyl isobutyl ketone in the amount of 1.5 mass times the total mass of all monomers. To the mixture thus obtained, azobisisobutyronitrile and azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) as initiators were added in the amounts of 1.2 mol % and 3.6 mol % based on the amount of all monomers, followed by heating at 73° C. for about 5 hours. Thereafter, to the polymerization reaction solution thus obtained, an aqueous p-toluenesulfonic acid solution (2.5% by weight) was added in the amount of 2.0 mass times the total mass of all monomers, followed by stirring for 12 hours and further isolation through separation. The organic layer thus recovered was poured into a large amount of n-heptane to precipitate a resin, followed by filtration and recovery to obtain a resin A1 having a weight-average molecular weight of about 5.5×103 in a yield of 74%. This resin A1 has the following structural units.
As shown in Table 2, the following components were mixed and the mixture thus obtained was filtered through a fluororesin filter having a pore diameter of 0.2 μm to prepare resist compositions.

(Evaluation of Exposure of Resist Composition with Electron Beam, Organic Solvent Development)
Each 6 inch-diameter silicon wafer was treated with hexamethyldisilazane on a direct hot plate at 90° C. for 60 seconds. A resist composition was spin-coated on the silicon wafer in such a manner that the thickness of the composition layer became 0.04 μm. Then, the coated silicon wafer was prebaked on the direct hot plate at the temperature shown in the column “PB” of Table 2 for 60 seconds to form a composition layer. Using an electron-beam direct-write system (“ELS-F125 125 keV”, manufactured by ELIONIX INC.), contact hole patterns (hole pitch of 40 nm/hole diameter of 17 nm) were directly written on the composition layer formed on the wafer while changing the exposure dose stepwise.
After exposure, post-exposure baking was performed on the hot plate at the temperature shown in the column “PEB” of Table 2 for 60 seconds. Next, the composition layer on this silicon wafer was developed with butyl acetate (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) as a developer at 23° C. for 20 seconds by a dynamic dispense method to obtain resist patterns.
In the resist pattern obtained after development, the exposure dose at which the diameter of holes formed became 17 nm was regarded as effective sensitivity.
In the effective sensitivity, the hole diameter of the pattern formed with a hole dimeter of 17 nm was determined by measuring 24 times per one hole and the average of the measured values was regarded as the average hole diameter per one hole. The standard deviation was determined under the conditions that the average diameter of 400 holes about the patterns formed with a hole dimeter of 17 nm in the same wafer was regarded to as population.
The results are shown in Table 3. The numerical value in the table represents the standard deviation (nm).
As compared with Comparative Compositions 1 to 3, Compositions 1 to 12 exhibited small standard deviation and satisfactory evaluation of CD uniformity (CDU).
A carboxylate and a resist composition including the carboxylate of the present invention exhibit satisfactory CD uniformity (CDU), and are therefore useful for fine processing of semiconductors.
