ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a resist pattern effectively controls the manner/style and the amount of modification of a resist pattern in its reflowing process, realizing a desired resist pattern with a desired accuracy even if the deformation amount of the resist pattern is increased in the reflowing process. A second layer is formed on a first layer and then, a first resist pattern is formed on the second layer. The second layer is selectively etched using the first resist pattern as a mask. Thereafter, wettability of at least part of an exposed area of the second or first layer from the first resist pattern is adjusted, thereby forming a wettability-adjusted part. The first resist pattern is modified in such a way as to extend to the wettability-adjusted area by reflowing the first resist pattern using an organic solvent, thereby forming a second resist pattern for selectively etching the first layer or the second layer.
