Abstract

Provided is a novel sulfonium salt that has high solubility in a solvent and has high light sensitivity to, especially, light having a wavelength not longer than deep-UV (254 nm) and a novel photo-acid generator comprising the sulfonium salt. The invention relates to a sulfonium salt represented by the following general formula (1) and a novel photo-acid generator comprising the sulfonium salt.wherein R1 represents an electron withdrawing group; R2 and R3 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group, an acyl group, a halogenated alkyl group, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a cyano group, or a nitro group; p and q each independently represent an integer of 0 to 5; and X−represents a monovalent counter anion.
