Abstract

Abstract A photopolymerizable resin composition is described which comprises, (a) 40 to 85 wt. %, based on the composition, of a thermoplastic polymer binder, (b) 15 to 60 wt. %, based on the composition, of a cross-linkable monomer having at least one ethylenically unsaturation, (c) 0.5 to 10 wt. %, based on the total of the binder (a) and the monomer (b), of a photopolymerization initiator, and (d) 0.005 to 1 wt. %, based on the total of the binder (a) and the monomer (b), of a tetrazole compound of the formula: <IMAGE> wherein R1 is H, halogen, methyl, ethyl, phenyl, carboxyl, amino, dimethylamino, diethylamino, methoxy, ethoxy, mercapto or sulfonic acid; and R2 is H, methyl, ethyl, phenyl, amino or mercapto. The photopolymerization resin composition exhibits an enhanced adhesion to a metal surface, and is useful as a photoresist for fabrication of a printed circuit board.
