The invention provides a patterning process for forming a negative pattern by lithography, comprising at least the steps of:using a composition for forming silicon-containing film, containing specific silicon-containing compound (A) and an organic solvent (B), to form a silicon-containing film; using a silicon-free resist composition to form a photoresist film on the silicon-containing film; heat-treating the photoresist film, and subsequently exposing the photoresist film to a high energy beam; and using a developer comprising an organic solvent to dissolve an unexposed area of the photoresist film, thereby obtaining a negative pattern. There can be a patterning process, which is optimum as a patterning process of a negative resist to be formed by adopting organic solvent-based development, and a composition for forming silicon-containing film to be used in the process.
本发明提供了一种通过光刻法形成底片图案的制图工艺,至少包括以下步骤:使用含有特定含硅化合物(A)和有机溶剂(B)的用于形成含硅薄膜的组合物形成含硅薄膜;使用无硅抗蚀剂组合物在含硅薄膜上形成光刻胶膜;对光刻胶膜进行热处理,然后将光刻胶膜暴露于高能光束;以及使用含有有机溶剂的显影剂溶解光刻胶膜的未暴露区域,从而获得负图案。可以有一种图案化工艺,它是通过采用基于有机溶剂的显影来形成阴性抗蚀剂的最佳图案化工艺,以及在该工艺中使用的用于形成含硅薄膜的组合物。
