Abstract

The present invention provides a salt of the formula (I):wherein ring Y represents monocyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbon group having 3 to 30 carbon atoms, in which one —CH2— group is substituted with —COO— group, and at least one hydrogen atom in the monocyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbon group may optionally be substituted with alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atom, alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atom, perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, hydroxyl group or cyano group; Q1 and Q2 each independently represent fluorine atom or perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; A+ represents organic counter ion; and n shows an integer of 0 to 12.The present invention also provides a chemically amplified resist composition comprising the salt of the formula (I).
