Patent ID: 7960089

Claim:
A compound represented by a general formula (A-1) shown below: [wherein, in said formula (A-1), R′ represents a hydrogen atom or an acid-dissociable, dissolution-inhibiting group, provided that at least one of a plurality of said R′ groups is an acid-dissociable, dissolution-inhibiting group, wherein the acid-dissociable, dissolution-inhibiting group is at least one selected from the group consisting of a tertiary alkyloxycarbonyl group, an alkoxycarbonylalkyl group, an alkoxyalkyl group, and a cyclic ether group; R 11 to R 17 each represent, independently, an alkyl group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an aromatic hydrocarbon group, which may include a hetero atom within a structure thereof; g and j each represent, independently, an integer of 1 or greater, and k and q each represent an integer of 0 or greater, provided that g+j+k+q is not greater than 5; a represents an integer from 1 to 3; b represents an integer of 1 or greater, and l and m each represent, independently, an integer of 0 or greater, provided that b+l+m is not greater than 4; c represents an integer of 1 or greater, and n and o each represent, independently, an integer of 0 or greater, provided that c+n+o is not greater than 4; and A represents a group represented by a general formula (Ia) shown below, a group represented by a general formula (Ib) shown below, or an aliphatic cyclic group:] [Formula 2] [wherein, in said formula (Ia), R 18 and R 19 each represent, independently, an alkyl group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms or an aromatic hydrocarbon group, which may include a hetero atom within a structure thereof; and r, y and z each represent, independently, an integer of 0 or greater, provided that r+y+z is not greater than 4].
