The invention provides a composition for coating a resist pattern and reversing the pattern by utilizing a difference in etching rates. A composition for applying to a resist pattern includes a component (A) which is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a metal oxide (a1), a polyacid (a2), a polyacid salt (a3), a hydrolyzable silane (a4), a hydrolysis product (a5) of the hydrolyzable silane, and a hydrolysis condensate (a6) of the hydrolyzable silane; and a component (B), which is an aqueous solvent, in which the hydrolyzable silane (a4) is (i) a hydrolyzable silane containing an organic group having an amino group, (ii) a hydrolyzable silane containing an organic group having an ionic functional group, (iii) a hydrolyzable silane containing an organic group having hydroxy group, or (iv) a hydrolyzable silane containing an organic group having a functional group convertible to hydroxy group. |
