Abstract
A radiation-sensitive resin composition including an alkali soluble resin and a quinonediazide compound is provided. The quinonediazide compound has the formula (1), for example: ##STR1## wherein, R.sup.1 to R.sup.6 are an alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl group; a and b are an integer of 1 to 3; D.sup.1 and D.sup.2 are independently a hydrogen atom or a 1,2-quinonediazidosulfonyl group, provided that at least one of D.sup.1 is a 1,2-quinonediazidosulfonyl group; A is a bonding such as single bond; and x and y are an integer of 0 to 2. The composition is suitable as a positive resist, which effectively restrains the occurrence of scum, and excellent in developability, pattern shape, sensitivity, resolution and focus latitude.
