AI Technical Summary
Current radiation-sensitive compositions for lithography struggle to achieve a well-balanced improvement in sensitivity, resolution, and Line Width Roughness (LWR) performance, especially in forming fine resist patterns with line widths of 40 nm or less.
A radiation-sensitive composition containing a polymer with a specific molecular structure, represented by formula (1), which includes a divalent group that can be cleaved by acid, and a compound acting as a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer agent, allowing for improved sensitivity and LWR performance through controlled acid-generated reactions.
The composition effectively enhances sensitivity, resolution, and LWR performance, enabling the formation of fine resist patterns with improved lithography characteristics.
