Abstract

Abstract A dry-developing negative resist composition formed fo (a) a polymer of one or more monomers of the following formule I or II in which R represents alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, benzyl, phenyl, or cyclohexyl and (b) 1 % to 70% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, of a silicon compound. A negative resist pattern can be formed on a substrate by a process comprising coating the substrate with the resist composition, exposing the resist layer to an ionizing radiation, subjecting the resist layer to a relief treatement, and developing a resist pattern on the substrate by treatement with gas plasma.
