Abstract

A method for forming a photoresist pattern, includes a step of forming a photoresist pattern having a certain width, and a step of performing thereafter ion milling with respect to side walls of the formed photoresist pattern by using an ion beam with a large incident angle so as to reduce the width of the formed photoresist pattern.
