Abstract
The method for forming a pattern according to the present invention comprises a step of irradiating a resist layer applied on a substrate to be worked with X-ray radiation through a mask in an oxygen-containing atomsphere to expose said resist layer, a step of decomposing a peroxide produced within said exposed resist layer in an atmosphere free from oxygen, a step of introducing a monomer into said atmosphere free from oxygen to conduct graft copolymerization of said resist layer at the exposed portion with said monomer, and a step of developing said resist layer to remove said resist layer at the portion remaining ungrafted.
