Abstract
A positive resist composition is provided comprising a base polymer end-capped with a salt consisting of an ammonium cation linked to a sulfide group and a fluorinated anion. Because of controlled acid diffusion, a resist film of the composition forms a pattern of good profile with a high resolution and reduced edge roughness or dimensional variation.
