RESIST COMPOSITION FOR NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND METHOD OF FORMING RESIST PATTERN

摘要

A resist composition for negative development including a base component (A) which exhibits decreased solubility in an organic solvent under the action of acid and an acid generator component (B) which generates acid upon exposure; and the resist composition used in a method of forming a resist pattern which includes: forming a resist film on a substrate using the resist composition; conducting exposure of the resist film; and patterning the resist film by negative development using a developing solution containing the organic solvent to form a resist pattern, wherein the acid generator component (B) contains an acid generator (B1) that generates an acid having a log P value of 2.7 or less and also a pKa value of at least−3.5.
