Patent ID: 8663905

Claim:
A pattern-forming method comprising: forming a resist under layer film on a substrate by applying a composition comprising: (A) an aminated fullerene having at least one amino group bonded to a fullerene skeleton; (B) a solvent; and (C) an acid generator in an amount of 0.1 to 30 parts by mass for 100 parts by mass of (A) the aminated fullerene; forming a resist film on the resist under layer film by applying a resist composition; selectively exposing the resist film to radiation through a photomask; developing the exposed resist film to form a resist pattern; and dry etching the resist under layer film and the substrate using the resist pattern as a mask to form a pattern, wherein the composition does not include more than 20 parts by mass of resin for 100 parts by mass of (A) the aminated fullerene.
