[0006] By using a resist composition that uses a carboxylate salt of the present invention, it is possible to produce a resist pattern with good CD uniformity (CDU). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] As used herein, "(meth)acrylic monomer" refers to "at least one of an acrylic monomer and a methacrylic monomer." The terms "(meth)acrylate" and "(meth)acrylic acid" have the same meaning. Regarding groups described herein, those that can have either a linear or branched structure are acceptable. When -CH2- in a hydrocarbon group or the like is replaced with -O-, -S-, -CO-, or -SO2-, the same applies to each group, and the number of carbon atoms before the replacement is the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon group or the like. A "combined group" refers to a group formed by combining two or more of the exemplified groups, and the valence of these groups may vary depending on the bonding form. "Derived from" or "derived from" refers to a polymerizable C=C bond in the molecule that becomes a -CC- group (single bond) upon polymerization. When stereoisomers exist, all stereoisomers are included. Depending on the number of substituents, any position and number of hydrogen atoms in each group may be replaced by a bonding site. The number of carbon atoms in a substituent is not included in the number of carbon atoms of the substituted group. In this specification, the term "acid labile group" refers to a group that, upon contact with an acid (e.g., trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, etc.), undergoes elimination as a leaving group to form a hydrophilic group (e.g., a hydroxy group or a carboxy group). The term "base labile group" refers to a group that, upon contact with a base (e.g., trimethylamine, etc.), undergoes elimination as a leaving group to form a hydrophilic group (e.g., a carboxy group or a hydroxy group). The term "solid content of the resist composition" refers to the sum of all components excluding the solvent (E), which will be described later, from the total amount of the resist composition.
