Patent ID: 8900788

Claim:
A resist composition for immersion exposure, comprising: a base component (A) which exhibits changed solubility in an alkali developing solution under action of an acid, and contains no structural unit (c1) represented by the general formula (c1-1) shown below; an acid generator component (B) which generates an acid upon exposure; and a fluorine-containing resin component (C) which is a monoacrylate polymer, wherein the fluorine-containing resin component (C) contains the structural unit (c1) and a structural unit (a1) derived from an acrylate ester which contains an acid dissociable, dissolution inhibiting group: (in the formula (c1-1), R represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a halogen atom, or a halogenated lower alkyl group; R f represents a linear fluorinated alkyl group; and Y 0 represents a linear alkylene group), wherein in the component (C), the proportion of the structural unit (c1) is at least 50 mol %, based on the combined total of the structural unit (c1) and the structural unit (a1), and the measured value of the static contact angle for a resist film obtained using the resist composition is within the range of 70 to 95 degrees.
