Abstract: The actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a resin (P) including a repeating unit (i) having a group which decomposes by the action of an acid represented by the following General Formula (1), a pattern forming method using the composition, a method for manufacturing an electronic device, and an electronic device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pattern forming method including: forming a film using an actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition that includes a (A) resin which has an increase in the polarity by the action of an acid, and thus, has a decrease in the solubility in a developer containing an organic solvent, a (B) compound capable of generating an acid upon irradiation with specific actinic ray or radiation, and a (C) solvent, exposing the film, and developing the exposed film using a developer including an organic solvent, in which the resin (A) has a structure in which a polar group is protected with a leaving group which decomposes to leave by the action of an acid, and the leaving group is a group represented by the following General Formula (I).

Abstract: This active light-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition contains a resin (A), a compound (B) capable of generating an acid upon irradiation with active light or radiation, and a compound (C) having at least one oxygen atom. The compound (C) does not include the resin (A) and the compound (B).
