Patent ID: 8518629

Claim:
A resist composition for immersion exposure, comprising a base component (A) that exhibits changed solubility in an alkali developing solution under action of acid, an acid generator component (B) that generates acid upon exposure, and a fluorine-containing polymeric compound (C) comprising a structural unit represented by general formula (c-1-2) shown below: wherein X 10 represents a divalent organic group represented by general formula (x-1) or (x-2) shown below; R represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a halogenated lower alkyl group; and R 2 represents an organic group having a fluorine atom; wherein each of R 101 and R 102 independently represents an alkyl group which may be mutually bonded to form a ring; each of R 103 and R 104 independently represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group; and each of X 101 and X 102 independently represents an alkylene group or a divalent aliphatic cyclic group.
