Abstract

A positive photoresist composition includes (A) an alkali-soluble resin, and (B) a photosensitizer including an ester of a 1,2-naphthoquinonediazidesulfonyl compound with a compound of the following formula (I). This positive photoresist composition has satisfactory sensitivity, definition, and depth of focus properties, can form both dense patterns and isolation patterns with good shapes in the formation of mixed resist patterns, and can minimize inverted taper shape formation of isolation resist patterns induced by shifts of focal depth to the minus side. ##STR1##
