Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a treatment liquid for patterning a resist film and a pattern forming method, each of which can accomplish suppression of generation of defects on a pattern and reduction in bridge defects of the pattern at the same time. The pattern forming method of an embodiment of the present invention is a pattern forming method by forming a resist film on a substrate using a resist composition including at least a resin whose polarity increases by the action of an acid, a photoacid generator, and a solvent, exposing the resist film, and then treating the exposed resist film with a treatment liquid to form a pattern, in which the treatment liquid includes two or more organic solvents, a boiling point of at least one organic solvent of the two or more organic solvents is 120° C. to 155° C., a content of the organic solvent having a boiling point of 120° C. to 155° C. is 45% by mass or more with respect to the total mass of the treatment liquid, and a difference between the boiling point of the organic solvent having the highest boiling point and the boiling point of the organic solvent having the lowest boiling point among the two or more organic solvents is less than 49° C.
