Abstract

To provide chemically amplified resist which is excellent in resolution, focusing and size accuracy as well by eliminating problem of the tapered resist pattern owing to the photo-absorption, and gives, at the same time, high thermal stability and sufficient resistance against dry-etching, resin having an aromatic ring is added in chemically amplified resist comprising a alicyclic acrylic polymer and a photoacid generator. As to the resin having the aromatic ring, it is preferably a polyhydroxystyrene polymer, a novolac polymer or a t-BOC protected polyhydroxystyrene polymer. Preferable additive amount of these polymers is 1 to 10 parts by weight to 100 parts of base polymer.
