A metal oxide-containing film is formed from a heat curable composition comprising (A) a metal oxide-containing compound obtained through hydrolytic condensation between a hydrolyzable silicon compound and a hydrolyzable metal compound, (B) a hydroxide or organic acid salt of Li, Na, K, Rb or Cs, or a sulfonium, iodonium or ammonium compound, (C) an organic acid, and (D) an organic solvent. The metal oxide-containing film ensures effective pattern formation. |
