Abstract

A method of forming a resist pattern from a chemically amplified positive radiation sensitive resin composition.The film thickness of an unexposed portion of a resist film formed from the chemically amplified positive radiation sensitive resin composition after wet development is 100 to 400 å smaller than that before wet development. Alternatively, a resist film formed from the chemically amplified positive radiation sensitive resin composition is wet developed at both a temperature and a time enough to ensure that the film thickness of an unexposed portion of the resist film after wet development is 100 to 400 å smaller than that before wet development.A resist film which is formed from a chemically amplified positive radiation sensitive resin composition and experiences a 100 to 400 å reduction in the film thickness of an unexposed portion by wet development is useful as a resist film for forming a resist pattern.
