Abstract

A radiation-sensitive resin composition exhibiting high sensitivity to various types of radiation and capable of forming a minute pattern with sufficient resolution and depth of field and small surface roughness in various types of patterns such as a dense line pattern, isolated line pattern, or contact holes, particularly in line-type patterns. The resin composition comprises (A) an aromatic sulfonic acid onium salt compound consisting of a 2,4-difluorobenzenesulfonic acid anion, 4-trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonic acid anion, or 2-trifluoromethylbenzenesulfonic acid anion, and an onium cation of sulfur or iodonium, and (B) a copolymer represented by a 4-hydroxystyrene/4-t-butoxystyrene copolymer and a 4-hydroxystyrene/4-(1′-ethoxyethoxy)styrene copolymer.
