Abstract
This invention provides a positive photoresist composition comprising an alkali-soluble resin, a dissolution inhibitor and a photo-induced acid precursor, wherein said alkali-soluble resin is obtainable through a condensation reaction of a compound represented by the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 to R.sub.9 each represent hydrogen atom, halogen atom, alkyl group, alkenyl group, --OH group or the like, provided that at least one of R.sub.1 to R.sub.9 is --OH group and at least two hydrogen atoms are attached to the o- or p-position of the --OH group, and an aldehyde. This positive photoresist composition is excellent in performances such as resolution, profile, sensitivity, etc.
