A resist underlayer film formation composition combining high etching resistance, high heat resistance, and excellent coating properties; a resist underlayer film wherein the resist underlayer film formation composition is used and a method for manufacturing the resist underlayer film; a method for forming a resist pattern; and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The resist underlayer film formation composition is characterized by including the compound represented by Formula (1), or a polymer derived from the compound represented by Formula (1). A semiconductor device is manufactured by: coating the composition on a semiconductor substrate, firing the coated composition, and forming a resist underlayer film; forming a resist film thereon with an inorganic resist underlayer film interposed therebetween selectively as desired; forming a resist pattern by irradiating light or electron radiation and developing; etching the underlayer film using the resist pattern; and processing the semiconductor substrate using the patterned underlayer film. |
