| abstract |
A chemically amplified positive resist composition comprising (A) a substantially alkali insoluble polymer having an acidic functional group protected with an acid labile group, (B) an acid generator, and (C) a perfluoroalkyl ethylene oxide adduct or a nonionic fluorinated organosiloxane compound is coated, exposed to UV radiation having a wavelength of at least 150 nm, and developed. The composition has advantages of uniformity and minimized edge crown upon coating, and no scum formation after development. |
