Abstract
A chemically amplified resist composition contains (A) a polymer compound containing one or two or more kinds of repeating units, at least one kind of the repeating units is polymerized from a polymerizable monomer with not more than 1000 ppm of a residual oligomer in a form of dimer to hexamer. An object of the present invention is to provide: a chemically amplified resist composition capable of achieving favorable resolution, pattern profile, and line edge roughness, and simultaneously suppressing development-residue defect, which would otherwise cause mask defect; and a method for forming a resist pattern by using this composition.
