The present invention has an object to provide a pattern forming method capable of providing good DOF and EL, a resist pattern formed by the pattern forming method, and a method for manufacturing an electronic device, including the pattern forming method. The pattern forming method of the present invention includes a step a of coating an active-light-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition onto a substrate to form a resist film, a step b of coating a composition for forming an upper layer film onto the resist film to form an upper layer film on the resist film, a step c of exposing the resist film having the upper layer film formed thereon, and a step d of developing the exposed resist film using a developer to form a pattern, in which the active-light-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition contains a hydrophobic resin. |
