Abstract
A resist composition comprising a base polymer and an acid generator in the form of a sulfonium or iodonium salt of a fluorinated sulfonic acid having a phenylene group which is substituted with a fluorinated cyclic group and a nitro group is provided. The resist composition offers a high sensitivity, reduced LWR and improved CDU independent of whether it is of positive or negative tone.
