Patent ID: 7955777

Claim:
A resist composition which comprises a base component (A) which exhibits changed solubility in an alkali developing solution under action of acid, and an acid generator component (B) which generates an acid upon exposure, wherein the acid generator component (B) comprises an acid generator (B1) represented by a general formula (b1-1) shown below: [Chemical Formula 3] X—Q 1 —Y 1 —SO 3 − A + (b 1-1) (wherein, Q 1 represents a combination of an ether linkage with a group of —R 92 —O—C(═O)—; R 92 represents an alkylene group; Y l represents an alkylene group which may contain a substituent group, or a fluorinated alkylene group which may contain a substituent group; X represents an aromatic cyclic group of 5 to 30 carbon atoms which contains a fluorine atom and may contain a substituent group; and A + represents an organic cation).
