Abstract

Abstract A negative-working photosensitive composition comprising at least one aromatic azide compound and the balance of a polymer compound, the numerical value of product of the film thickness expressed in micron and the absorbance at 248 nm of a coating film of said photosensitive composition ranging from 0.5 to 1.5. Since said composition has a high sensitivity and a high resolution in the region of exposing wavelength, a fine pattern for practical purposes can be obtained by coating the composition on a substrate, then exposing the thus formed coating film to light to print a predetermined pattern, and developing the film.
