A novel anthracene derivative useful as an additive to a radiation-sensitive resin composition is disclosed. The anthracene derivative has the following formula (1), <CHEM> wherein R<1> groups individually represent a hydroxyl group or a monovalent organic group having 1-20 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 0-9, X is a single bond or a divalent organic group having 1-12 carbon atoms, and R<2> represents a monovalent acid-dissociable group. The radiation-sensitive resin composition comprises the anthracene derivative of the formula (1), a resin insoluble or scarcely soluble in alkali, but becomes alkali soluble in the presence of an acid, and a photoacid generator. The composition is useful as a chemically-amplified resist for microfabrication utilizing deep ultraviolet rays, typified by a KrF excimer laser and ArF excimer laser.
