Abstract

A method of forming a resist pattern including the steps of: forming a resist film by coating resist on the surface of a member to be processed, the resist containing a composition A capable of increasing the volume by chemical reaction; exposing and developing the coated resist film to form a pattern having an opening; and chemically reacting fluid containing a composition B with the composition A by contacting the fluid with the composition A to change the size of the opening of the resist film, the composition B being capable of increasing the volume of the composition A by chemical reaction with the composition A. It is possible to form a fine resist pattern by a simple method.
