Abstract

In a method of effectively miniaturizing a resist pattern, a super fine pattern-forming method of restricting a film thickness of a crosslinked film and also preventing developing defects is provided using a super fine pattern-forming material which contains a solvent composed of a water-soluble resin, a water-soluble crosslinking agent, and water or a mixing solution of water and a water-soluble organic solvent, and an amine compound-containing developing solution. The amine compound-containing developing solution is preferably a primary amine compound such as polyallylamine, monomethanolamine, and monoethanolamine, a secondary amine compound such as dimethylamine, diethylamine, dimethanolamine, and diethanolamine, a tertiary amine compound such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, trimethanolamine, and triethanolamine, or a quartenary amine compound such as hydrated tetramethylamine.
