To provide a positive resist composition which exhibits satisfactory transmittance at the time of using an exposure light source of ≤200 nm, specifically F2 excimer laser light (157 nm) and is improved in surface roughness, development defects, scum and resolution, and to provide a pattern forming method using the same.
The positive resist composition contains (A) a resin which has a methacrylic acid-based repeating unit in which a methyl group substituted by a hydroxy group and a fluoroalkyl group bonds to an α-carbon atom and is decomposed by the action of an acid to increase solubility in an alkaline developer, and (B) a compound which generates an acid upon irradiation with an actinic ray or a radiation. The pattern forming method uses the same.
