A method for developing a non chemically amplified resist employs a developing fluid having a carboxylic acid compound, which is a carboxylic acid ester having branched chain alkyl groups and a total carbon number of 8 or greater, as a main component. It is particularly preferable for the carboxylic acid compound to be at least one of isobutyl butyrate, butyl isobutyrate, isobutyl isobutyrate, isoamyl isobutyrate, and 2-methylbutyrate 2-methylbutyl. It is also preferable for the non chemically amplified resist to be a resist having a copolymer of an α-chloroacrylate ester compound and an α-methylstyrene compound as a main component. |
