The 14nm and below photoetching process has higher requirements on the collapse rate and the intra-cluster roughness, particularly the 7 nm technology photoetching process, the formula of the photoresist is changed, and the collapse rate and the surface roughness caused by the fine pattern become more and more key factors influencing the yield, so that the performance needs to be further improved to meet the more advanced process. The method of forming a pattern on a silicon substrate of the present invention is as follows: firstly, spin-coating a photoresist material on a substrate to form a film, then exposing and developing, and then processing by using the photoetching wetting liquid to obtain a cleaning pattern.
