Patent ID: 11204552

Abstract:
A radiation-sensitive composition includes: a first polymer having a first structural unit that includes an acid-labile group; and a first compound including a metal cation and a first anion that is a conjugate base of an acid. The acid has a pKa of no greater than 0. The acid is preferably sulfonic acid, nitric acid, organic azinic acid, disulfonylimidic acid or a combination thereof. The first compound is preferably represented by formula (1). In the formula (1), M represents a metal cation; A represents the first anion; x is an integer of 1 to 6; R1 represents a σ ligand; and y is an integer of 0 to 5, and a sum: x+y is no greater than 6. The van der Waals volume of the acid is preferably no less than 2.5×10−28 m3. [AxMR1y]  (1)
