Abstract
Abstract A highly photosensitive composition capable of being developed by an alkaline aqueous solution comprises an alkali-soluble phenolic resin selected from phenol novolak resins, m- and pcresol, p-tert.-butyl and cashew nut shell oil modified phenol novolak resins, and, if desired, an alkali-soluble vinyl polymer selected from copolymers of acrylic acid with acrylic esters, methacrylic acid with acrylic esters, maleic anhydride with styrene and maleic esters with styrene, and an azidopyrene compound of the formulae (I) or (II). wherein X1, X2, X3 and X4 each represent a hydrogen or halogen atom or nitro, monoalkylamino, acylalkylamino, dialkylamino, tosylamino, alkoxyl, hydroxyl, acyl, carboxyl, carboxymethyl or sulfonic acid radical.
