A resist film is formed by applying, on a semiconductor substrate, a chemically amplified resist including an acid generator of an onium salt having a halogen atom both in the cation and the anion thereof. The resist film is irradiated with a F2 laser beam with a wavelength of a 157 nm band or an Ar2 laser beam with a wavelength of a 126 nm band for pattern exposure, and the resist film is developed after the pattern exposure, thereby forming a resist pattern. |
