[Object] To provide a composition enabling to form a fine negative photoresist pattern free from troubles, such as, surface roughness, bridge defects, and resolution failure; and also to provide a pattern formation method using that composition.[Means to Solve the Problem] A fine pattern-forming composition is used for miniaturizing a resist pattern by fattening said pattern in a process of formation of a negative resist pattern using a chemically amplified resist composition. The fine pattern-forming composition comprises a polymer comprising a repeating unit having a structure of the following formula (A), (B) or (C): and a solvent. This composition is cast on a negative resist pattern obtained by development with an organic solvent developer, and then heated to form a fine pattern.
