- 2. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 1, wherein R.sup.1 in the formula (I) is tert-butyl.
- 3. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 1, wherein said acid-generating compound is triphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
- 4. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 1, wherein said acid-generating compound is an 0-quinonediazide compound.
- 5. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 4, wherein said 0-quinonediazide compound is 1-naphthoquinone-2-diazo-4-ester sulfonate.
- 6. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 1, wherein the acid generating compound is used in an amount of 0.1 to 30 wt %, based on the total weight of the solid components of the resist.
- 7. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 1, wherein said resist further comprises an alkali soluble polymer.
- 8. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 7, wherein said alkali soluble polymer is used in an amount of 90 parts by weight or less, wherein the total amount of said acid decomposable compound and said alkali soluble polymer is 100 parts by weight.
- 9. A resist pattern forming method comprising:
- forming a resist film on a substrate,
- forming a layer of an acidic water-soluble polymer on the resist film,
- pattern-exposing the resist film with the polymer layer, and
- developing the pattern exposed resist film with the polymer layer,
- wherein the resist comprises:
- (a) an acid generating compound which generates an acid when exposed to ultraviolet rays or ionizing radiation; and
- (b) a compound which has an acid decomposable substituent group and which is represented by the following formula (I) ##STR70## where R.sup.1 is a monovalent organic group, m is 0, 1 or a positive number greater than 1, and n is a positive number.
- 10. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 9, wherein R.sup.1 in the formula (I) is tert-butyl.
- 11. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 9, wherein the acid water-soluble polymer has a carboxy group or a sulfo group as a substituent group.
- 12. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 9, wherein the acidic water-soluble polymer is at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, polystyrenesulfonic acid, polymalic acid, polyitaconic acid, ethylene-anhydrous maleic acid copolymer, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer, ethylvinylether-anhydrous maleic acid copolymer and styrene-anhydrous maleic acid copolymer.
- 13. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 9, wherein said acid-generating compound is triphenylsulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate.
- 14. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 9, wherein said acid-generating compound is an o-quinonediazide compound.
- 15. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 14, wherein said o-quinonediazide compound is 1-naphthoquinone-2-diazo-4-ester sulfonate.
- 16. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 9, wherein the acid generating compound is used in an amount of 0.1 to 30 wt %, based on the total weight of the solid components of the resist.
- 17. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 9, wherein said resist further comprises an alkali soluble polymer.
- 18. The resist pattern forming method according to claim 17, wherein said alkali soluble polymer is used in an amount of 90 parts by weight or less, where the total amount of said acid decomposable compound and said alkali soluble polymer is 100 parts by weight.
