Abstract

A chemically amplified resist material comprises a polymer component that is capable of being made soluble or insoluble in a developer solution by an action of an acid, and a generative component that is capable of generating a radiation-sensitive sensitizer and an acid upon an exposure. The radiation-sensitive acid-and-sensitizer generating agent or the radiation-sensitive acid generating agent included in the generative component comprises the first compound that is radiation-sensitive and second compound that is radiation-sensitive. The first compound includes a first onium cation and a first anion, and the second compound includes a second onium cation and a second anion that is different from the first anion. Each of an energy released upon reduction of the first onium cation to a radical and an energy released upon reduction of the second onium cation to a radical is less than 5.0 eV.
