In the formula, n indicates an integer of 1 to 10; R indicates a substituted or unsubstituted C-Clinear, branched or cyclic alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C-Clinear, branched or cyclic alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C-Caryl group, or a C-Cheteroaryl group; and a indicates 1 or 0. A photoacid generator containing the above fluorinated sulfonic acid salt or fluorinated sulfonic acid group-containing compound shows high sensitivity to an ArF excimer laser or the like, presents no concerns about human body accumulation, can generate an acid (photoacid) of sufficiently high acidity, and exhibits high solubility in a resist solvent and good compatibility with a resist resin.
