Abstract: A method of producing a structure, including: a composite film formation step that forms a composite film composed of a coating film and an organic film or inorganic film on top of a substrate by conducting Steps (1) to (3) below: (1) forming the coating film composed of a metal layer or a metal oxide layer on the surface of a template provided on top of the substrate, (2) forming the organic film or inorganic film on the surface of the coating film, and (3) removing a portion of the organic film or inorganic film and the coating film; a second coating film formation step that forms a second coating film composed of a metal layer or a metal oxide layer on the surface of the composite film; a coating step that, following formation of the second coating film, forms an organic coating film on the substrate that covers the surface of the substrate; a removal step that removes a portion of the second coating film, the side surfaces of which are at least partially supported by the organic coating film; and a str

Abstract: An anisotropic film is disclosed in which a line-shaped nanostructure is disposed inside a resin film. Also disclosed is a method of producing an anisotropic film that includes: forming a metal nanostructure on a substrate, forming a resin film that embeds the metal nanostructure, and detaching the resin film from the substrate, wherein the step of forming the metal nanostructure on the substrate includes: at least, forming a coating film on the surface of a template provided on the substrate, the coating film including a metal layer formed by electroless plating; and removing a portion or all of the template while retaining a portion or all of the coating film, or removing a portion of the coating film. Also disclosed is an anisotropic film produced using the method of producing an anisotropic film.

Abstract: A resist composition for immersion exposure including a base component (A) which exhibits changed solubility in an alkali developing solution under action of acid, an acid-generator component (B) which generates acid upon irradiation, and a fluorine-containing compound (C) having a group represented by general formula (c) shown below and containing at least one fluorine atom: wherein Q represents a group in which one hydrogen atom has been removed from a monovalent hydrophilic group; and R1 represents a hydrocarbon group of 2 or more carbon atoms which may have a fluorine atom.
