Patent ID: 11506980

Abstract:
Provided are: a resist underlayer film formation composition combining high etching resistance, high heat resistance, and excellent coating properties; a resist underlayer film in which the resist underlayer film formation composition is used and a method for manufacturing the resist underlayer film; a method for forming a resist pattern; and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The resist underlayer film formation composition is characterized by including the compound represented by Formula (1), or a polymer derived from the compound represented by Formula (1) (where: AA represents a single bond or a double bond; X1 represents —N(R1)—; X2 represents —N(R2)—; X3 represents —CH(R3)—; X4 represents —CH(R4)— etc.; R1, R2, R3, and R4 represent hydrogen atoms, C1-20 straight chain, branched, or cyclic alkyl groups, etc.; R5, R6, R9, and R10 represent hydrogen atoms, hydroxy groups, alkyl groups, etc.; R7 and R8 represent benzene rings or naphthalene rings; and n and o are 0 or 1). A semiconductor device is manufactured by: coating the composition on a semiconductor substrate, firing the coated composition, and forming a resist underlayer film; forming a resist film thereon with an inorganic resist underlayer film interposed therebetween selectively as desired; forming a resist pattern by irradiating light or electron radiation and developing; etching the underlayer film using the resist pattern; and processing the semiconductor substrate using the patterned underlayer film.
