A resist composition

摘要

This invention relates to a polymer capable of forming an ultra-fine pattern with excellent rectangular shape in a silylated surface resolution process using a chemically amplified type resist composition as single layer or the most upper layer among multiple layers and to a resist composition using the polymer. The said polymer and resist composition are useful in a silylated surface resolution process, and by conducting the silylated surface resolution process using the said resist composition, contrast of silylation becomes higher and it becomes possible to obtain ultra-fine pattern regardless of the kind of exposure energy.
