AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing resist compositions do not achieve satisfactory CD uniformity in resist patterns.

Method used

A resist composition containing a specific acid generator salt represented by formula (I), which includes a sulfonate anion or sulfonylimide anion, is used to form resist patterns with improved CD uniformity.

Benefits of technology

The resist composition enables the production of resist patterns with enhanced CD uniformity, addressing the limitations of existing technologies.
