Abstract

The present invention provides a fine pattern-forming composition enabling to form a resist pattern having high dry etching resistance, and also provides a pattern formation method using that composition. This formation method hardly causes pipe blockages in the production process. The composition is used for miniaturizing a resist pattern by fattening in a process of forming a negative resist pattern from a chemically amplified resist composition, and comprises a polymer containing a repeating unit having a hydroxyaryl group and an organic solvent not dissolving the negative resist pattern. In the formation method, the fine pattern-forming composition and the resist composition are individually cast with the same coating apparatus, so as to prevent pipe blockages.
