Abstract

A resist composition has a polymer containing a carboxyl group with a protective group at a side chain of a monomer unit, the polymer being insoluble to basic aqueous solution and becoming soluble to basic aqueous solution when the protective group of the carboxyl group is eliminated from the side chain, the protective group of the carboxyl group being represented by: where R is a hydrogen atom or a single-bonded hydrocarbon group, n is an integer 1 to 4, and R is bonded to a position other than the ester bonded position.
