A method of pattern formation. The method is capable of inhibiting a post-development residue from remaining on a support equipped with an electrode, and a method of producing a polysilane-polysiloxane resin precursor that is suitable for use in the method of pattern formation. The method of pattern formation includes forming a film of a silicon-containing composition on the support equipped with an electrode forming a film of a resin composition on the film of a silicon-containing composition, and forming the film of a resin composition into a pattern.
