A chemically amplified positive resist composition is provided comprising a substantially alkali-insoluble polymer having an acid labile group-protected acidic functional group, a poly(meth)acrylate polymer having Mw of 1,000-500,000, and an acid generator in a solvent. The composition forms on a substrate a resist film of 5-100 μm thick which can be briefly developed to form a pattern at a high sensitivity and a high degree of removal or dissolution to bottom. |
