Abstract

A resist composition contains as a base resin a polymer comprising recurring units of the formula (1-1) or (1-2) and having a Mw of 1,000-500,000. R1 is H, methyl or CO2R2, R2 is a straight, branched or cyclic C1-15 alkyl group, R3 is hydrogen, methyl or CH2CO2R2, R4 is an acid labile group, i is an integer of 1 to 4, and k is equal to 0 or 1. The resist composition has significantly improved sensitivity, resolution and etching resistance and is very useful in precise microfabrication.
