TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to an improved development method for high-sensitivity positive-working radiation resists. Traditionally, photolithography using ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 4000 Å or more has been used as a microfabrication technology for manufacturing semiconductor devices, magnetic bubble devices, and optical components. With the increase in integration, lithography techniques using electron beams, X-rays, etc. are attracting attention, and high-sensitivity and high-resolution radiation resists for use therein are being developed. However, none of them have characteristics that are fully satisfactory on a practical level, and have several drawbacks in terms of mass productivity. That is, it has been reported that fluoroalkyl α-chloroacrylate polymers, such as polytrifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate, provide highly sensitive positive radiation resists [T.
Tada, J.Electrochem.Soc., 126 1829 (1979)],
This resist has the disadvantage that it takes a long time to develop, especially when used in a low irradiation area, and it is difficult to apply a spray development process, which has few defects due to impurity contamination and is excellent in mass production. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is a positive radiation resist made of polytrifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate or a copolymer of trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate and other vinyl monomers. On the other hand, by using a specific developer, it is possible to form fine patterns in a much shorter time than before, and therefore spray development is possible, there are fewer defects, and it is extremely easy to mass-produce. The present invention aims to provide a resist image forming method. That is, the present invention A homopolymer of the monomer represented by the above formula, or 60 mol% or more of the monomer and other vinyl monomers
A method of coating at least one type of copolymer with 40 mol% or less on a substrate, irradiating the desired area with radiation, and then developing with a developer to form a resist image on the substrate. The present invention relates to a resist image forming method characterized in that methyl isobutyl ketone or a mixture of methyl isobutyl ketone and another ketone is used as the developer. High-sensitivity positive radiation resist When using a conventional developer of polytrifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate, which is an isopropyl alcohol-methyl isopropyl ketone mixture solution or an isopropyl alcohol-methyl isobutyl ketone mixture solution, it is 2 to 5 μc/cm. When used with the electron beam irradiation amount of 2 , it required a developing time of about 10 to 20 minutes.
According to the present invention, a ketone-based developer consisting of one type of ketone or two or more types of ketones is effective in shortening the development time, and in particular, a solution of methyl isobutyl ketone or a mixture of methyl isobutyl ketone and other ketones. It was confirmed that when a developer consisting of the following was used, the development time was shortened to about 1 to 4 minutes, to the extent that a spray development process could be applied, and a clear resist image could be obtained. Examples of positive radiation resists suitable for the present invention include polytrifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate, trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer, and trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer. copolymer, trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate-t-butyl methacrylate copolymer, trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate-trifluoroisopropyl-α-chloroacrylate copolymer, trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate-phenyl α-chlor Examples include acrylate copolymer, trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate-α-methylstyrene copolymer, trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate-benzyl α-chloroacrylate copolymer, and the like. The proportion of trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate in the copolymer needs to be 60 mol% or more in order to achieve the object of the present invention. If the proportion of the monomer is less than 60 mol%, a positive radiation resist with satisfactory high sensitivity cannot be obtained. Specific examples of the developer system according to the present invention include methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone-methyl ethyl ketone mixture, methyl isobutyl ketone-methyl propyl ketone mixture, methyl isobutyl ketone-methyl isopropyl ketone mixture, methyl isobutyl ketone-diethyl Ketone mixture, methyl isobutyl ketone-methyl butyl ketone mixture, methyl isobutyl ketone-ethyl propyl ketone mixture, methyl isobutyl ketone
Examples include ethyl isopropyl ketone mixture, methyl isobutyl ketone-methyl sec-butyl ketone mixture, and the like. In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the proportion of methyl isobutyl ketone in the above liquid mixture is usually 20% by weight or more, preferably 50% by weight or more. The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. Example 1 Polytrifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate (molecular weight 800,000) was coated by spin coating.
After coating to a thickness of 0.5μ on a Cr mask substrate, 200℃
Prebaking treatment was performed in air for 1 hour. Next, a desired portion of the prebaked resist film is irradiated with an electron beam at an acceleration voltage of 20 KV at an irradiation density of 4.0 μc/cm 2 , and then sprayed using a methyl isobutyl ketone-methyl ethyl ketone mixture, which is the developer of the present invention. Development processing was carried out by development, and at the same time, as a comparative example, by stationary development using a conventional developer, and the respective development times are shown in Table 1.

[Table] As is clear from Table 1, by using the developer according to the present invention, the development time is shortened by 1/5 to 1/20 compared to the case of the conventional developer, and the spray development process is Therefore, it was confirmed that a clear resist pattern with far fewer defects was obtained. At the same time, it was also confirmed that when the above developer was used, a pattern with better resolution could be obtained than when other ketone developers such as methyl ethyl ketone-methyl isopropyl ketone were used. Example 2 A sample was prepared on a Cr mask substrate in the same manner as in Example 1 except that trifluoroethyl α-chloroacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer (copolymerization ratio 97:3, molecular weight 900,000) was used as the resist. After forming a register pattern and irradiating a desired area with an electron beam, spray development was performed using a mixed solution of methyl isobutyl ketone and methyl ethyl ketone, which is the developer of the present invention, and at the same time, a conventional developer was used as a comparative example. Development processing was carried out by static development, and the respective development times are shown in Table 2.

[Table] As is clear from Table 2, by using the developer according to the present invention, compared to the conventional case,
It was confirmed that the development time was shortened to 1/20 and a resist pattern with far fewer defects than in the conventional case was obtained. As detailed above, by using the developer according to the present invention, the development time can be significantly shortened, and patterns with higher resolution can be obtained compared to other ketone-based developers. The process is applicable, and therefore, it is possible to form clear resist patterns with fewer defects in a much shorter time than conventional methods, making it possible to form mass-produced resist patterns that can be effectively used for microfabrication of semiconductor substrates, mask substrates, etc. Excellent resist images can be formed.
