Tetrahydrofuran compounds of formula (1) wherein the broken line represents a single bond, a divalent organic group, or a structure in which the alicyclic structure in the form of norbornene or tetracyclo[4.4.0.1 2,5 .1 7,10 ]dodecene and the tetrahydrofuran cyclic structure share one or two constituent carbon atoms, and k is 0 or 1 are novel and useful as monomers to form base resins for use in chemically amplified resist compositions adapted for micropatterning lithography. |
