Abstract

A resist-pattern-forming method comprises: patternwise exposing a predetermined region of a resist material film to a first radioactive ray that is ionizing radiation or nonionizing radiation; floodwise exposing the resist material film to a second radioactive ray that is nonionizing radiation; baking the resist material film; and developing the resist material film to form a resist pattern. The resist material film is made from a photosensitive resin composition comprising a chemically amplified resist material. The chemically amplified resist material comprises a base component that is capable of being made soluble or insoluble in a developer solution by an action of an acid and a generative component that is capable of generating a radiation-sensitive sensitizer and an acid upon an exposure. A van der Waals volume of the acid generated from the generative component is no less than 3.0×10−28 m3.
