Abstract

A radiation-sensitive resin composition including (1) an alkali-soluble resin, (2) a quinonediazide compound and (3) a mixed solvent including a monoketone having 7 to 14 carbon atoms and an alkoxypropionic acid alkyl ester is provided. The composition can be coated in a uniform thickness in a small coating weight. The composition has a high sensitivity and a high resolution, and also enables formation of resist patterns having a superior pattern shape with less pattern defects. Thus, it is suitable as a positive resist.
