Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A resist composition including a base component (A), which exhibits changed solubility in a developing solution under the action of acid and can be used in a lithography process that employs light having a wavelength of 193 nm or less as the exposure light source, an acid generator component (B) which generates acid upon exposure, and a polymeric compound (C) having a structural unit (c0) represented by general formula (c0) shown below, wherein the amount of the polymeric compound (C) is less than 25 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the base component (A). In the formula, R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or a halogenated alkyl group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R 1 represents an organic group having one or more primary or secondary alcoholic hydroxyl groups, or a chain-like tertiary alcoholic hydroxyl group.
