Abstract

A resist composition comprising (A) an alkali-insoluble or substantially insoluble polymer having acidic functional groups protected with acid labile groups, which polymer becomes alkali-soluble upon elimination of the acid labile groups, (B) a photoacid generator, and (C) a 1,2-naphthoquinonediazidosulfonyl group-bearing compound has a high resolution and sensitivity, and provides resist patterns of excellent plating resistance when used in UV lithography at an exposure light wavelength of at least 300 nm.
