Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a method for making more efficient the preparation of relief structures by phototechniques from mixtures containing acrylate- and/or methacrylate-group-containing polymers and photo-initiators. For this purpose, the invention provides the use of aromatic azides free of maleinimide groups as photo-initiators. The method according to the invention is suitable particularly for the structurization by phototechniques of insulating materials as well as of semiconductor and conductor materials.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
In a method for the preparation of relief structures by phototechniques wherein a mixture of a photo-initiator and an unsaturated photo- or radiation-sensitive polymer containing ethylenically unsaturated acrylate and/or methacrylate groups is applied to a substrate in the form of a layer or foil; the layer or foil is exposed or irradiated through a mask; and the non-exposed or non-irradiated portions of the layer or foil are removed from the substrate to obtain a relief structure, the improvement comprising utilizing as said photo-initiator an aromatic azide free of maleinimide groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
In a method for the preparation of relief structures by phototechniques wherein a mixture of a photo-initiator and an unsaturated photo- or radiation-sensitive polymer containing ethylenically unsaturated acrylate and/or methacrylate groups is applied to a substrate in the form of a layer or foil; the layer or foil is exposed or irradiated through a mask; and the non-exposed or non-irradiated portions of the layer or foil are removed from the substrate to obtain a relief structure, the improvement comprising utilizing as said photo-initiator an aromatic azide free of maleinimide groups.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said photo-initiator is a sulfonylazide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said mixture further contains a sensitizer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method according to claim 3 wherein said sensitizer is 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)-benzophenone.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said mixture further contains a maleinimide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method according to claim 5 wherein said maleinimide is N-phenylmaleinimide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said relief structure obtained is subsequently annealed.
