Abstract

A chemically amplified positive resist composition for EB or EUV lithography is provided comprising (A) a polymer or a blend of polymers wherein a film of the polymer or polymer blend is insoluble in alkaline developer, but turns soluble under the action of acid, (B) an acid generator, (C) a basic compound, and (D) a solvent. The basic compound (C) is a polymer comprising recurring units bearing a side chain having a secondary or tertiary amine structure as a basic active site and constitutes a part or the entirety of the polymer or polymers as component (A).
