Abstract

Provided is a method of forming a pattern, ensuring excellent exposure latitude (EL) and focus latitude (depth of focus DOF). The method of forming a pattern includes (A) forming a film from a resist composition, the resist composition, (B) exposing the film to light, and (C) developing the exposed film using a developer containing an organic solvent, thereby forming a negative pattern. The resist composition contains (a) a resin that is configured to decompose when acted on by an acid and ΔSP thereof represented by formula (1) below is 2.5 (MPa)or above, (b) a compound that is composed to generate an acid when exposed to actinic rays or radiation, and (c) a solvent.ΔSP=SP−SP  (1)
