Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pattern forming method which can form a pattern on a second layer by exposing while maintaining the pattern formed on a first layer by inactivating it for preventing it from becoming alkali soluble due to photosensing at the second exposing in a double exposing pattern formation. SOLUTION: This pattern forming method has a step of forming a first resist layer on the substrate by using a resin composition for the first resist layer and forming a first resist pattern by radiating a radioactive ray on its required area of the first resist layer to expose and develop, a step of inactivating the first resist pattern to light, a step of forming a second resist layer on the substrate which has the first resist pattern by using a resin composition for the second resist layer and radiating a radioactive ray on its required area to expose, and a step of forming a second resist pattern by developing in the space of the first resist pattern.
