Patent ID: 7592132

Claim:
A super fine pattern-forming method, comprising the steps of: coating a super fine pattern-forming material composition on a resist pattern containing a substance which supplies acid by heating to form a coated layer; dispersing the acid from the resist pattern by the heating; generating a crosslinking reaction in a portion contacting the resist pattern of the coated layer to form a crosslinked film in the coated layer; eliminating a non-crosslinked portion of the coated layer with a developing solution; and thereby developing the coated layer, wherein: the super fine pattern-forming material composition contains a water-soluble resin, a water-soluble crosslinking agent, an amine compound selected from polyallylamine derivatives and glucosamine derivatives, and a solvent selected from the group consisting water and a mixing solution of water and a water-soluble organic solvent; and elimination of the non-crosslinked portion of the coated layer is made with a developing solution containing an amine compound wherein the concentration of amine compound in the super fine pattern-forming material composition by weight per the solvent in the composition x% and the concentration of the amine compound in the second developing solution Y% meet the relation 0.1≦x+y≦5.
