[0133] First, the inorganic photoresist used in the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0134] In photolithographic methods, inorganic photoresists are known to have better thermal stability compared to organic photoresists, and in addition, significantly higher gamma properties are easily obtained when using inorganic photoresists. For example, organic photoresists such as polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polymethacrylic Glycidyl ester-chlorostyrene copolymer (GMC), poly(butene-1-sulfone) (PBS) and benzaldehyde novolac (novolac), etc., usually only give a gamma property of 3 or less after development . In addition, γ=l / (log δ1-log δ0) (wherein δ0 is the minimum exposure amount required to sensitize the photoresist; δ1 is the exposure amount required to fully sen...

Abstract

Disclosed is a developing solution comprising an aqueous alkali solution, at least one anion selected from a silicate ion, a carbonate ion, a borate ion and a phosphate ion, and at least one cation selected from an ammonium ion, an organic ammonium ion and an alkali metal ion. The aqueous alkali solution may be an aqueous solution of a tetra-alkyl ammonium hydroxide.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a developing solution and a method for producing a microfabricated material using the developing solution. More particularly, the present invention relates to a developer for developing a thermosensitive inorganic resist (resisit), which utilizes an oxidation / reduction reaction or phase transfer of a transition metal oxide. Background of the invention [0002] Methods utilizing inorganic photoresists have been proposed as a means to achieve high-resolution, angularly controllable shape patterns. Reported methods include the use of electron beams or ion beams (see, e.g., Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. (JP-A) No. 6-132188 and JP-A No. 8-69960), the use of extreme ultraviolet light (see, e.g., JP -A No. 2004-172272), using a laser (see, eg: Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 44, 3574-3577, 2005) etc. as an activation energy source for drawing shape patterns. [0003] Among methods using laser light as drawing energy...
