Abstract
A method for forming a resist pattern which comprises irradiating an active light ray to a resist obtained by coating a photosensitive resin composition containing a compound capable of generating an acid due to irradiation of the active light ray and a silyloxy compound in a binder resin on a substrate through a pattern mask to decompose the silyloxy compound due to the acid generated at the irradiation region to form a silanol compound, and after removing the silanol compound, removing a film at the photosensitive region due to an oxygen plasma, a removal of said silanol compound being conducted by bringing the film after irradiation of the active light ray into contact with volatile organic solvent vapor having a boiling photosensitive composition.
