Abstract

Whereas, conventionally, ashing had been used at the time of removal, the present invention provides a material for forming an organic hard mask that can be removed by an alkaline aqueous solution, and thus can be expected to reduce damage to the substrate at the time of the removal. A composition for forming an organic hard mask layer comprising: a polymer (A) including a structural unit of Formula (1) and a structural unit of Formula (2); a crosslinkable compound (B) including at least two of blocked isocyanate groups, methylol groups, or C1-5 alkoxymethyl groups; and a solvent (C), wherein an organic hard mask layer obtained from the composition for forming an organic hard mask layer is used at the lowest layer in a lithography process using a multi-layer film,wherein R1 to R4 have the same definition as ones in the specification.
