Abstract

A pattern forming method comprises forming a first resist pattern on a substrate, irradiating light on the first resist pattern, forming a resist film including a cross-linking material on the substrate and the first resist pattern, forming a second resist pattern including a cross-linking layer formed at an interface between the first resist pattern and the resist film by causing a cross-linking reaction at the interface, and irradiating light on the first resist pattern including setting an amount of the light irradiated on the first resist pattern such that a dimension of the second resist pattern is to be a predetermined dimension based on a previously prepared relationship between a difference between a dimension relating to the first resist pattern and a dimension relating to the second resist pattern and the amount of the light irradiated on the first resist pattern.
