Abstract

A method of forming a pattern includes (a) forming a film of an actinic-ray- or radiation-sensitive resin composition, (b) exposing the film to light, and (c) developing the exposed film with a developer comprising an organic solvent to thereby form a negative pattern. The actinic-ray- or radiation-sensitive resin composition includes (A) a resin whose solubility in the developer comprising an organic solvent is lowered when acted on by an acid, which resin contains a repeating unit with any of lactone structures of general formula (1) below, and (B) a compound that when exposed to actinic rays or radiation, generates an acid.
