Abstract

A resist composition for forming a pattern, which comprises (a) a compound represented by the following formula (1) and satisfying the following inequalities, ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen atom or methyl group, R.sup.2 is a monovalent organic group, m is 0 or a positive integer, n is a positive integer, and m and n satisfying a condition of 0.03.ltoreq.n/(m+n).ltoreq.1, (b) a compound capable of generating an acid when irradiated with light, and (c) a nitrogen-containing compound, wherein a weight-average molecular weight, Mw and a number-average molecular weight, Mn satisfy the following inequality, 4,000.ltoreq.Mw.ltoreq.50,000, 1.10.ltoreq.Mw/Mn.ltoreq.2.50 (Mw and Mn respectively represent value converted in styrene).
