Abstract

A method for forming a pattern contains (1) a step of forming an underlayer film containing (A) a radiation-sensitive acid generator capable of generating an acid upon exposure to radiation rays or (B) a radiation-sensitive base generator capable of generating a base upon exposure to radiation rays on a substrate; (2) a step of irradiating the underlayer film with radiation rays through a mask with a predetermined pattern to obtain an exposed underlayer film portion having been selectively exposed through the predetermined pattern; (3) a step of forming (C) an organic thin film on the underlayer film so as to attain chemical bonding of the exposed underlayer film portion with the organic thin-film formed on the exposed underlayer film portion; and (4) a step of removing the organic thin film formed on areas of the underlayer film other than the exposed underlayer film portion.
