A radiation-sensitive resin composition comprising an alkali-soluble novolak resin and a 1,2-quinonediazide compound, wherein the alakli-soluble novolak resin comprises a mixture of: 95-50 parts by weight of Resin A having a standard polystyrene-reduced weight-average molecular weight of 2,000-20,000 �Resin A is at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a resin obtained by polycondensation of m-cresol and at least one phenol represented by the structural formula (I) or (I'): ##STR1## wherein m is 2 or 3, with at least one aldehyde and a resin obtained by polycondensation of m-cresol, p-cresol and at least one phenol represented by the above structural formula (I) or (I') with at least one aldehyde! and 5-50 parts by weight of Resin B having a standard polystyrene-reduced weight-average molecular weight of 200-2,000 �Resin B is a resin obtained by polycondensation of at least one phenol represented by the structural formula (II): ##STR2## wherein n is 0, 1, 2 or 3, with at least one aldehyde!. In the resin composition, the mixture of Resin A and Resin B may further contain Resin C which is an ester of Resin B with a 1,2-quinonediazidesulfonic acid.
