Abstract
A patterning process includes (1) coating a first positive resist composition onto a substrate, baking, exposing, post-exposure baking, and alkali developing to form a first resist pattern, (2) coating a resist-modifying composition onto the first resist pattern and heating to effect modifying treatment, and (3) coating a second positive resist composition, baking, exposing, post-exposure baking, and alkali developing to form a second resist pattern. The resist-modifying composition comprises a carbamate compound and a solvent.
