Abstract

A resist pattern-forming method includes forming a first resist pattern using a first positive-tone radiation-sensitive resin composition. A resist pattern-miniaturizing resin composition is applied to the first resist pattern. The resist pattern-miniaturizing resin composition applied to the first resist pattern is baked and developed to form a second resist pattern that is miniaturized from the first resist pattern. A resist pattern-insolubilizing resin composition is applied to the second resist pattern. The resist pattern-insolubilizing resin composition applied to the second resist pattern is baked and washed to form a third resist pattern that is insoluble in a developer and a second positive-tone radiation-sensitive resin composition. A second resist layer is formed on the third resist pattern using the second positive-tone radiation-sensitive resin composition. The second resist layer is exposed and developed to form a fourth resist pattern.
