Abstract

A negative photoresist composition containing an alkali-soluble resin which is obtainable through a condensation reaction of an aldehyde with a phenol compound containing a compound of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 to R.sup.9 are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkylcarbonyl group, a halogen atom or a hydroxyl group, provided that at least one of R.sup.1 to R.sup.9 is a hydroxyl group and, at the ortho- or para-position to the hydroxyl group, at least two hydrogen atoms are present; a cross linking agent; and a photo-acid generator, and a negative photoresist composition comprising an alkali-soluble resin, a cross linking agent and a photo-acid generator having a trifluoromethanesulfonic acid ester group, which can increase resolution and contrast of a photoresist pattern.
