Abstract: There is provided a sliding member coating composition for forming a coating on the surface of a sliding member, which contains a binder resin, abrasion inhibiting members, and a solid lubricant as needed. The shape of the abrasion inhibiting members is a panel shape having an aspect ratio of 5 to 100 expressed by average particle diameter/average particle thickness, and has an average particle diameter of 15.0 ?m or smaller and a Moh's hardness of 6 or higher. The content of the solid lubricant can be set to 0 to 15 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the binder resin, and the content of the abrasion inhibiting members to 1 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the binder resin. The solid lubricant may not be blended. The abrasion inhibiting members are preferably aluminas. According to the sliding member coating composition in the present invention, even when being exposed to severe frictional conditions for a long time, preferable lubricity can be guaranteed.

Abstract: A composition for forming a radiation absorbing coating which comprises an organic solvent, a radiation absorbing polymer or a radiation absorbing material dissolved therein and a crosslinking agent having blocked isocyanate groups. Since the isocyanate groups of the crosslinking agent have been blocked, the composition containing the crosslinking agent has excellent storage stability. When the composition applied to a substrate and then baked, crosslinking proceeds to give an antireflective coating, which does not intermix with a resist layer to be formed thereon by coating and is free from diffusion of a photo-generated acid thereinto from the resist layer. As a result, a resist image free from footing or scum can be formed.

Abstract: In a process for manufacturing integrated circuit elements or the like by photolithography, a method for reducing detrimental influence on resist shape due to properties of a substrate or acidity of substrate surface in case where a chemically amplified resist or the like is used as a photoresist, and a substrate-treating agent composition to be used for this method are described. The substrate-treating agent composition comprises a solution containing a salt between at least one basic compound selected from among primary, secondary and tertiary amines and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and an organic acid such as a sulfonic acid or a carboxylic acid. This composition is coated on a substrate surface having thereon a bottom anti-reflective coating such as SiON layer, baked and, if necessary washed, then a chemically amplified resist is coated on the thus-treated substrate, exposed and developed to form a resist pattern on the substrate.
