A resist composition is provided comprising (A) a metal compound having formula (A-1), a hydrolysate or hydrolytic condensate thereof, or the reaction product of the metal compound, hydrolysate or hydrolytic condensate thereof with a di- or trihydric alcohol having formula (A-2), and (B) a sensitizer containing a compound having formula (B-1). The resist composition is adapted to change a solubility in developer upon exposure to high-energy radiation, has high resolution and sensitivity, and forms a pattern of good profile with minimal edge roughness after exposure. |
