摘要 |
The present invention provides a positive photoresist composition comprising a 1,2-naphthoquinone-diazide compound and a novolac resin obtained through a condensation reaction between an aldehyde compound and a phenol compound represented by the following general formula (I): <IMG> (I) wherein R5, R6 and R7 each independently represents hydrogen atom, hydroxyl group or alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy or alkenyl group having 6 or less carbon atoms or aryl group, provided that at least one of R5, R6 and R7 represents a cycloalkyl group having 6 or less carbon atoms. The composition of the present invention is excellent in the balance between properties such as sensitivity, resolution, heat resistance, profile, depth of focus, etc. and free from scum.
