• the resist film after exposure was baked at 90 ° C. for 60 seconds, developed with an aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (2.38% by mass) for 30 seconds, and then rinsed with pure water for 30 seconds. Then, this was spin-dried to obtain a positive pattern.
• topcoat composition The various components contained in the topcoat composition shown in Table 7 are shown below.
• ⁇ Resin> As the resin shown in Table 7, the resins PT-1 to PT-3 shown in Table 2 were used.
• FT-1 4-Methyl-2-pentanol (MIBC)
• MIBC 4-Methyl-2-pentanol
• FT-2 n-decane
• FT-3 diisoamyl ether
• ⁇ Preparation of top coat composition> Each component shown in Table 7 was mixed so as to have a solid content concentration of 3% by mass, and then the obtained mixed solution was first subjected to a polyethylene filter having a pore size of 50 nm, and then a nylon filter having a pore size of 10 nm. Finally, a top coat composition was prepared by filtering in the order of a polyethylene filter having a pore size of 5 nm. The resulting topcoat composition was used in the examples.
• the solid content means all components other than the solvent.
• the line width is 45 nm 1: Exposure was made through a 6% halftone mask with a 1-line and space pattern. Ultrapure water was used as the immersion liquid. The exposed resist film was baked at 90 ° C. for 60 seconds, developed with n-butyl acetate for 30 seconds, and then rinsed with 4-methyl-2-pentanol for 30 seconds. Then, this was spin-dried to obtain a negative pattern.
• ⁇ Stability of resist composition over time> The stability over time of the resist composition was evaluated by the same procedure as ⁇ Stability over time of the resist composition> in the above-mentioned pattern formation (1) except that the resist composition was changed.
