A method of forming a pattern, which comprises forming a masking material layer on a surface of a working film by coating the surface with a solution of a mixture comprising an inorganic compound having a bond between an inorganic element and oxygen atom, and a volatile unit, volatilizing the volatile unit to thereby make the masking material layer porous, forming a resist layer on a surface of the masking material layer, patterning the resist film to form a resist pattern, dry-etching the masking material layer to thereby transfer the resist pattern to the masking material layer, thereby forming a masking material pattern, and dry etching the working film to thereby transfer the masking material pattern to the working film to thereby form a working film pattern.
