A sulfonium salt compound excelling in transparency to deep ultraviolet rays at a wavelength of 220 nm or less, exhibiting well-balanced excellent performance such as sensitivity, resolution, pattern form, LER, and storage stability when used as a photoacid generator, a photoacid generator comprising the sulfonium salt compound, and a positive-tone radiation-sensitive resin composition containing the photoacid generator. The sulfonium salt compound is shown by the following formula (I), wherein R1 represents a halogen atom, an alkyl group, a monovalent alicyclic hydrocarbon group, an alkoxyl group, or -OR3 group, wherein R3 is a monovalent alicyclic hydrocarbon group, R2 represents a (substituted)-alkyl group or two or more R2 groups form a cyclic structure, p is 0-7, q is 0-6, n is 0-3, and X- indicates a sulfonic acid anion. The positive-tone radiation-sensitive resin composition comprises (A) a photoacid generator of the sulfonium-salt compound and (B) an acid-dissociable group-containing resin.
