Abstract

A polymer is provided comprising recurring units having a N,N′-bis(alkoxymethyl)tetrahydropyrimidinone or N,N′-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydropyrimidinone structure on a side chain. When a chemically amplified negative resist composition is formulated using the polymer and processed by lithography, a fine resist pattern can be formed with the advantages of improved LER and high resolution.
