A method for forming a photoresist pattern involves the steps of: depositing a photoresist film on a substrate, the photoresist film containing an acid-generating agent capable of generating an acid upon exposure to light; overlaying an antireflective film over the photoresist film, the antireflective film containing a fluorine-based acidic compound; selectively exposing the photoresist; and developing the photoresist. The novel method is characterized in that the acid-generating agent and the fluorine-based acidic compound are selected so that the acid that the acid-generating agent generates in the photoresist film upon exposure to light has a higher acidity than the fluorine-based acidic compound in the antireflective film.
