Patent attributes
A radiation-sensitive resin composition suitable as a chemically-amplified resist useful for microfabrication utilizing various types of radiation such as deep ultraviolet rays represented by a KrF excimer laser or ArF excimer laser. The radiation-sensitive resin composition of the present invention comprises: (A) a resin comprising a recurring unit (1-1) shown by the following formula (I-1) and (B) a radiation-sensitive acid generator such as 1-(4-n-butoxynaphthyl)tetrahydrothiophenium nonafluoro-n-butanesulfonate. The radiation-sensitive resin composition may further comprise (C) an acid diffusion controller such as phenylbenzimidazole
