(Electron beam exposure evaluation of resist composition)
A 6-inch silicon wafer was treated with hexamethyldisilazane at 90° C. for 60 seconds on a direct hot plate. A resist composition was spin-coated onto this silicon wafer so that the thickness of the composition layer was 0.04 μm. Thereafter, it was prebaked for 60 seconds on a direct hot plate at the temperature shown in the "PB" column of Table 1 to form a composition layer. A contact hole pattern (hole pitch 40 nm/hole) was formed on the composition layer formed on the wafer by using an electron beam drawing machine [ELS-F125 125 keV manufactured by Elionix Co., Ltd.] and changing the exposure amount stepwise. 17 nm in diameter) was directly drawn.
After exposure, post-exposure baking was performed on a hot plate for 60 seconds at the temperature shown in the "PEB" column of Table 1, and further paddle development was performed for 60 seconds with a 2.38% by mass tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution. , a resist pattern was obtained.
In the resist pattern obtained after development, the exposure amount at which the hole diameter formed was 17 nm was defined as the effective sensitivity.

<CD uniformity (CDU) evaluation>
In terms of 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. The average hole diameter of a pattern formed with a hole diameter of 17 nm within the same wafer was measured at 400 locations, and the standard deviation was determined using the population as a population.
The results are shown in Table 2. Numerical values in the table indicate standard deviation (nm).

Compared to Comparative Compositions 1 and 2, Compositions 1 to 6 had smaller standard deviations and better CD uniformity (CDU) evaluation.

The compound of the present invention and the resist composition using the same can obtain a resist pattern with good CD uniformity (CDU), and therefore are suitable for microfabrication of semiconductors and are extremely useful industrially.
