A positive photoresist composition comprises: a compound capable of generating an acid upon irradiation with an actinic ray or a radiation, in which the compound contains (A1) a sulfonate compound of a sulfonium, and (A2) a sulfonate compound of an N-hydroxyimide or a disulfonyldiazomethane compound; and a resin capable of decomposing by the action of an acid to increase the solubility in an alkali developing solution, in which the resin contains a repeating unit having a specific lactone structure. |
