Abstract: Using a resist composition which exhibits decreased solubility in an organic solvent upon exposure, patterning is conducted by a negative-tone development using a developing solution containing an organic solvent to form a first resist pattern on the substrate, wherein the first resist pattern is composed of a plurality of exposed portions. Then, a pattern reversing composition containing an organic solvent which does not dissolve the first resist pattern is applied to the substrate on which the first resist pattern has been formed, to form a pattern reversing film. Next, the first resist pattern is removed and patterning of the pattern reversing film is conducted by an alkali developing to form a reversed pattern in which the image of the first resist pattern is reversed.
