What is claimed is: 1. An organic film composition comprising (A) a heat-decomposable polymer, (B) an organic solvent, and (C) an aromatic ring containing resin, with the weight reduction rate of (A) the heat-decomposable polymer from 30° C. to 250° C. under a helium atmosphere with the temperature raising rate of 10° C./minute being 40% or more by mass, and (A) the heat-decomposable polymer comprises one or more compounds shown by the following general formulae (1a) to (1c), wherein R 1a represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; W a represents a saturated or unsaturated divalent hydrocarbon group having 4 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally containing an ether bond; each of R b1 independently represents —W a —OH, or an optionally substituted, saturated monovalent organic group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms; R 1c represents a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or a heteroaryl group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms; each of R c1 independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or —W a —OH; and “n” represents an average number of the repeating unit, and is in the range of 3 to 500. 2. The organic film composition according to claim 1 , wherein (A) the heat-decomposable polymer is in the state of liquid at 100° C. with the weight reduction rate thereof from 30° C. to 250° C. under a helium atmosphere with the temperature raising rate of 10° C./minute being 70% or more by mass. 3. The organic film composition according to claim 1 , wherein (C) the aromatic ring containing resin contains a naphthalene ring. 4. The organic film composition according to claim 3 , wherein (C) the aromatic ring containing resin comprises a resin (C1) that is obtained by polycondensation of any one or more compounds shown by the following general formulae (2a) and (2b) with a compound shown by the following general formula (3), wherein each of R 2 independently represents a hydrogen atom, or a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; each of R 3 independently represents a benzene ring or a naphthalene ring; each of m1+m2, m3+m4, and m5+m6 represents 1 or 2; each of n1, n2, and n3 represents 0 or 1, A-CHO  (3) wherein A represents any of a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and an optionally substituted aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms. 5. The organic film composition according to claim 4 , wherein (C) the aromatic ring containing resin comprises a resin (C2) that has one or more repeating units shown by the following general formula (4), wherein each of R 4 independently represents a hydrogen atom, or a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; R 5 represents a hydrogen atom or may be bonded with one R 4 to form a ring; when R 4 and R 5 are bonded to form a ring, —R 4 —R 5 — represents a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; m7+m8 represents 0, 1, or 2; and n4 represents 0 or 1. 6. The organic film composition according to claim 5 , wherein (C) the aromatic ring containing resin comprises a resin (C3) that is obtained by polycondensation of one or two or more aromatic ring containing compounds with benzophenone, naphthophenone, or fluorenone. 7. The organic film composition according to claim 4 , wherein (C) the aromatic ring containing resin comprises a resin (C3) that is obtained by polycondensation of one or two or more aromatic ring containing compounds with benzophenone, naphthophenone, or fluorenone. 8. The organic film composition according to claim 3 , wherein (C) the aromatic ring containing resin comprises a resin (C2) that has one or more repeating units shown by the following general formula (4), wherein each of R 4 independently represents a hydrogen atom, or a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; R 5 represents a hydrogen atom or may be bonded with one R 4 to form a ring; when R 4 and R 5 are bonded to form a ring, —R 4 —R 5 — represents a single bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; m7+m8 represents 0, 1, or 2; and n4 represents 0 or 1. 9.
