Abstract
A barrier film material includes, in addition to an alkali-soluble polymer, a multivalent carboxylic acid compound having a plurality of carboxyl groups or a multivalent alcohol compound. Thus, the multivalent carboxylic acid compound or the multivalent alcohol compound is adhered onto the surface of a resist film, and hence, particles having been adhered to the surface of the resist film are removed in removing the barrier film. Also, in the case where the barrier film is removed simultaneously with development, the resist film can be prevented from remaining partly undissolved.
