A resist composition which generates an acid upon exposure and whose solubility in a developing solution changes under the action of an acid. The composition includes a base material component whose solubility in a developing solution changes under the action of an acid; an acid generator component which generates an acid upon exposure; and a photo-reactive quencher which contains a compound represented by the general formula shown below: ##STR00001##
in which Ra.sup.1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituent; and Ra.sup.2 and Ra.sup.3 each independently represent an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms which may have a substituent. X.sup. represents a counter anion.
