<p>To provide a resist composition for negative tone development, which can form a pattern having a good profile improved in the pattern undercut and moreover, can reduce the line edge roughness and enhance the in-plane uniformity of the pattern dimension, and a pattern forming method using the same. A resist composition for negative tone development, comprising (A) a resin capable of increasing the polarity by the action of an acid to increase the solubility in a positive tone developer and decrease the solubility in a negative tone developer, (B) a compound capable of generating an acid having an acid dissociation index pKa of -4.0 or less upon irradiation with an actinic ray or radiation, and (C) a solvent; and a pattern forming method using the same.</p> |
