Abstract
There is disclosed a positive resist composition comprising (A) a resin having repeating units shown by the following general formulae (1) and (2) as repeating units that contain acid labile groups and being capable of increasing its alkaline solubility by an acid, (B) a photoacid generator, (C) a compound shown by the following general formula (3), and (D) a solvent. There can be a positive resist composition having high resolution, and at the same time giving an excellent pattern profile; and a patterning process in which an immersion lithography is carried out using a formed top coat.
