<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a novel compound useful as an acid generator for a resist composition; an acid generator using the compound; a resist composition including the acid generator; and a method of forming a resist pattern using the resist composition. <P>SOLUTION: The resist composition includes a base component (A) that exhibits changed solubility in an alkali developing solution under the action of acid, and an acid generator component (B) including a compound represented by general formula (b1-1), wherein: Z represents a single bond or a divalent linking group; R<SP>11"</SP>to R<SP>13"</SP>each independently represents an organic group having a fluorine atom; r<SB>1</SB>to r<SB>3</SB>each independently represents an integer of 0-3, provided that r<SB>1</SB>+r<SB>2</SB>+r<SB>3</SB>≠0; R<SP>14"</SP>to R<SP>16"</SP>each independently represents alkyl, acetyl, alkoxy, carboxy, hydroxy, hydroxyalkyl or a halogen atom; r<SB>4</SB>to r<SB>6</SB>each independently represents an integer of 0-3, provided that r<SB>1</SB>+r<SB>4</SB>≤5, r<SB>2</SB>+r<SB>5</SB>≤4 and r<SB>3</SB>+r<SB>6</SB>≤4; any two among R<SP>11"</SP>to R<SP>16"</SP>may be bonded to each other to form a ring; when a plurality of symbols R<SP>11"</SP>to R<SP>16"</SP>are present, the symbols R<SP>11"</SP>to R<SP>16"</SP>may be the same or different, respectively; and X<SP>-</SP>is an anion. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
