Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a photosensitive composition comprising an ester or an amide of an o-naphthoquinone diazide sulfonic or carboxylic acid and, based upon the amount of this compound, about 1 to 50 percent by weight of an organic dye capable of salt formation, and about 5 to 75 percent by weight of a photosensitive halogen-containing diazonium salt which releases acid upon exposure to light and having the general formula I ##STR1## IN WHICH R a is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, an alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, arylmercapto, aryloxy, arylamino or benzoylamino group, R b and/or R c are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylmercapto or arylmercapto group, A is selected from the group consisting of PF 6 , BF 4 , AsF 6 , SbCl 6 , SnCl 6 , BiCl 5 , ZnCl 4 or SbF 6 , and x is 1 or 2, with R a and R c simultaneously not being hydrogen.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 175 words
A photosensitive composition comprising an ester or an amide of an o-naphthoquinone diazide sulfonic or carboxylic acid and, based upon the amount of this compound, about 1 to 50 percent by weight of an organic dye capable of salt formation and being selected from the group consisting of a triphenylmethane, azine, or anthraquinone dye, and about 5 to 75 percent by weight of a photosensitive halogen-containing diazonium salt which releases acid upon exposure to light and having the general formula I ##STR3## in which R a is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen atoms, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, arylmercapto, aryloxy, arylamino and benzoylamino groups, R b and R c are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atoms, alkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylmercapto and arylmercapto groups, A is selected from the group consisting of PF 6 , BF 4 , AsF 6 , SbCl 6 , SnCl 6 , BiCl 5 , ZnCl 4 and SbF 6 , and x is 1 or 2, with R a and R c simultaneously not being hydrogen.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 175 words
A photosensitive composition comprising an ester or an amide of an o-naphthoquinone diazide sulfonic or carboxylic acid and, based upon the amount of this compound, about 1 to 50 percent by weight of an organic dye capable of salt formation and being selected from the group consisting of a triphenylmethane, azine, or anthraquinone dye, and about 5 to 75 percent by weight of a photosensitive halogen-containing diazonium salt which releases acid upon exposure to light and having the general formula I ##STR3## in which R a is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and halogen atoms, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, arylmercapto, aryloxy, arylamino and benzoylamino groups, R b and R c are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atoms, alkyl, alkoxy, aryloxy, alkylmercapto and arylmercapto groups, A is selected from the group consisting of PF 6 , BF 4 , AsF 6 , SbCl 6 , SnCl 6 , BiCl 5 , ZnCl 4 and SbF 6 , and x is 1 or 2, with R a and R c simultaneously not being hydrogen.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 35 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 including 10 to 40 percent by weight of diazonium salt and 3 to 30 percent by weight of dye, based on the weight of the naphthoquinone diazide compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 in which the dye is red, blue or green.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 54 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 in which in the general formula I R a is selected from the group consisting of arylmercapto, benzoylamino and alkoxyphenyl groups R b and R c are alkoxy groups and A is selected from the group consisting of PF 6 , BF 4 and AsF 6 .
