To provide a negative resist composition for ion beam writing having good thermal stability and storage stability, containing few ionic impurities such as Cl and Na, excellent in transparency in a wide wavelength region, and giving a resist pattern with a large film thickness and a high aspect ratio, and to provide a pattern forming method using the same.
The negative resist composition for ion beam writing comprises (A) a resin which has a polymer unit of formula (1), a polymer unit prepared by ring opening polymerization and hydrogenation of a cyclic olefin, or a vinyl ether polymer unit, and is made slightly soluble or insoluble in a developer upon ion beam irradiation, and (B) at least one organic solvent which dissolves the resin (A). The pattern forming method employs the negative resist composition.
