A radiation-sensitive resin composition for liquid immersion lithography which produces an excellent pattern profile, exhibits excellent resolution, provides sufficient focal depth allowance, and elutes only the minimal amount in the liquid when brought in contact with the liquid during exposure to radiation. The radiation-sensitive resin composition forms a photoresist film in liquid immersion lithography, in which radiation is emitted through a liquid for use in liquid immersion lithography having a refractive index larger than 1.44 and smaller than 1.85 at a wavelength of 193 nm, existing between a lens and a photoresist, the composition comprising a resin having a recurring unit with a lactone structure, which is insoluble or scarcely soluble in alkali, but becomes soluble in alkali by the action of an acid, and a radiation-sensitive acid generator.
