Disclose herein is a method of modifying a positive-type chemically amplified resist pattern, including the steps of, applying to a surface of a resist pattern, an aqueous solution of a modifier for the positive-type chemically amplified resist pattern, the aqueous solution containing a water-soluble cross-linking agent and a penetration accelerator, the cross-linking agent and the penetration accelerator being dissolved in water or a mixed solvent containing water as a main ingredient, so as to permit the cross-linking agent to penetrate the resist pattern, removing a surplus of the cross-linking agent, and irradiating the resist pattern. |
