Other components (F) are not particularly limited, and additives known in the field of resists, such as sensitizers, dissolution inhibitors, surfactants, stabilizers, dyes, etc., can be used.

<Preparation of resist composition>
The resist composition of the present invention comprises a salt (I), a resin (A), and, if necessary, an acid generator (B), a resin other than the resin (A), a solvent (E), and a quencher (C). and other components (F). The mixing order is arbitrary and not particularly limited. The temperature during mixing can be appropriately selected from 10 to 40° C. depending on the type of resin and the solubility of the resin in the solvent (E). An appropriate mixing time can be selected from 0.5 to 24 hours depending on the mixing temperature. The mixing means is also not particularly limited, and stirring and mixing can be used.
After mixing each component, it is preferable to filter using a filter having a pore size of about 0.003 to 0.2 μm.

<Method for producing resist pattern>
The method for producing a resist pattern of the present invention comprises:
(1) a step of applying the resist composition of the present invention onto a substrate;
(2) a step of drying the applied composition to form a composition layer;
(3) exposing the composition layer;
(4) heating the exposed composition layer; and (5) developing the heated composition layer.
The coating of the resist composition on the substrate can be carried out using a commonly used device such as a spin coater. Examples of the substrate include an inorganic substrate such as a silicon wafer and an organic substrate having a resist film or the like formed on the surface thereof. Before applying the resist composition, the substrate may be washed, and an antireflection film or the like may be formed on the substrate.
By drying the applied composition, the solvent is removed and a composition layer is formed. Drying is carried out, for example, by evaporating the solvent using a heating device such as a hot plate (so-called pre-baking), or by using a decompression device. The heating temperature is preferably 50 to 200° C., and the heating time is preferably 10 to 180 seconds. Moreover, the pressure for drying under reduced pressure is preferably about 1 to 1.0×10 ⁵ Pa.
The resulting composition layer is usually exposed using an exposure machine. The exposure machine may be an immersion exposure machine. As the exposure light source, a KrF excimer laser (wavelength: 248 nm), an ArF excimer laser (wavelength: 193 nm), an _F2 excimer laser (wavelength: 157 nm) that emits a laser beam in the ultraviolet region, a solid-state laser source (YAG or semiconductor laser etc.) and emits harmonic laser light in the far ultraviolet region or vacuum ultraviolet region by wavelength conversion, electron beam, and extreme ultraviolet light (EUV). can be done. In the present specification, these irradiations with radiation may be collectively referred to as "exposure". During exposure, exposure is usually performed through a mask corresponding to the desired pattern. When the exposure light source is an electron beam, exposure may be performed by direct drawing without using a mask.
The exposed composition layer is subjected to a heat treatment (so-called post-exposure bake) in order to promote the deprotection reaction at the acid-labile groups. The heating temperature is usually about 50 to 200°C, preferably about 70 to 150°C. A chemical treatment (silylation) may be performed to adjust the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the resin on the surface side of the composition after heating. Moreover, before the development, the steps of applying a resist composition, drying, exposing, and heating may be repeatedly performed on the exposed composition layer.
The composition layer after heating is usually developed using a developer using a developing device. The developing method includes a dipping method, a paddle method, a spraying method, a dynamic dispensing method, and the like. The development temperature is preferably, for example, 5 to 60° C., and the development time is preferably, for example, 5 to 300 seconds. A positive resist pattern or a negative resist pattern can be produced by selecting the type of developer as follows.
When producing a positive resist pattern from the resist composition of the present invention, an alkaline developer is used as the developer. The alkaline developer may be any of various alkaline aqueous solutions used in this field. Examples thereof include aqueous solutions of tetramethylammonium hydroxide and (2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium hydroxide (commonly known as choline). The alkaline developer may contain a surfactant.
After development, the resist pattern is preferably washed with ultrapure water, and then water remaining on the substrate and pattern is removed.
When producing a negative resist pattern from the resist composition of the present invention, a developer containing an organic solvent (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "organic developer") is used as the developer.
Examples of organic solvents contained in the organic developer include ketone solvents such as 2-hexanone and 2-heptanone; glycol ether ester solvents such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate; ester solvents such as butyl acetate; glycols such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether. ether solvents; amide solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide; aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as anisole;
The content of the organic solvent in the organic developer is preferably 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 95% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and still more preferably substantially only the organic solvent.
Among them, as the organic developer, a developer containing butyl acetate and/or 2-heptanone is preferable. The total content of butyl acetate and 2-heptanone in the organic developer is preferably 50% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and substantially contains butyl acetate and/or 2-heptanone. - more preferably only heptanone.
The organic developer may contain a surfactant. In addition, the organic developer may contain a trace amount of water.
During development, the development may be stopped by replacing the organic developer with a solvent of a different type.
It is preferable to wash the resist pattern after development with a rinsing liquid. The rinse liquid is not particularly limited as long as it does not dissolve the resist pattern, and a solution containing a common organic solvent can be used, preferably an alcohol solvent or an ester solvent.
After cleaning, it is preferable to remove the rinse liquid remaining on the substrate and pattern.

<Application>

(Evaluation of resist composition by electron beam exposure: organic solvent development)
A 6-inch silicon wafer was treated with hexamethyldisilazane at 90° C. for 60 seconds on a direct hotplate. This silicon wafer was spin-coated with the resist composition so that the film thickness of the composition layer was 0.04 μm. After that, it was pre-baked for 60 seconds on a direct hot plate at the temperature shown in the "PB" column of Table 2 to form a composition layer. A contact hole pattern (hole pitch 40 nm/hole diameter 17 nm) were directly written.
After the exposure, post-exposure baking was performed for 60 seconds on a hot plate at the temperature shown in the "PEB" column of Table 2. Next, the composition layer on the silicon wafer was developed using butyl acetate (manufactured by Tokyo Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd.) as a developer by a dynamic dispensing method at 23° C. for 20 seconds to obtain a resist pattern. .

In the resist pattern obtained after development, the effective sensitivity was defined as the amount of exposure at which the hole diameter formed was 17 nm.

比較組成物１～４と比較して、組成物１～１６での標準偏差が小さく、ＣＤ均一性（ＣＤＵ）評価が良好であった。 <CD uniformity (CDU) evaluation>
In the effective sensitivity, the hole diameter of a pattern formed with a hole diameter of 17 nm was measured 24 times for each hole, and the average value was taken as the average hole diameter of one hole. A standard deviation was obtained by using a population of 400 measured average hole diameters of patterns formed with a hole diameter of 17 nm in the same wafer.
Table 3 shows the results. Numerical values in the table indicate standard deviations (nm).

CD uniformity (CDU) ratings were good with smaller standard deviations for compositions 1-16 compared to comparative compositions 1-4.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The resist composition containing the salt of the present invention is suitable for microfabrication of semiconductors and is industrially very useful because it provides a resist pattern with good CD uniformity (CDU).
