<p>A method for producing a polymer is provided. The polymer improves variations in the content ratio and molecular weights of a copolymer's constitutional units, solvent solubility, and the sensitivity of a resist composition using such a polymer. The method includes polymerizing two or more monomers while adding with a polymerization initiator to obtain the polymer, feeding a first solution containing first composition monomers in an initial polymerization stage, and starting dropwise addition of a second solution containing second composition monomers after or simultaneously with the feeding of the first solution. The second composition is equal to a target composition ratio of the polymer to be obtained. The first composition is calculated in advance based on a target composition ratio and the reactivity of the monomers. The above dropping rate is set to high.</p> |
