ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a pattern forming method using phase separation structure of self-assembling block copolymer and minimizing variations in pattern. A substrate having groove structure pre-formed thereon, is coated with a solution of the block copolymer comprising at least one block having a mesogen group. The block copolymer is caused to self-assemble in the groove to form block copolymer assemblies, which are regularly arrayed. The invention also relates to a processing method of processing a substrate by the use of the pattern obtained by the pattern forming method as a template.
