Abstract

A positive resist image is produced by exposing, to radiation in a predetermined pattern, a polymeric material containing polymerized alkyl methacrylate units and polymerized monoethylenically unsaturated acid units. The exposed and unexposed areas are distinguished by their different respective abilities to be swelled in an appropriate swelling agent, and the swelled areas are removed by dispersal in a nonsolvent liquid.
