Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 197 words
A method for producing a semiconductor device having a semiconductor body comprising at least one semiconductor element having a polyimide pattern on a substrate comprising the steps of treating a polyamic acid with a compound of the formula: ##STR22## wherein R 2 is hydrogen or methyl, R 6 is hydrogen or methyl, R 7 is isopropyl or cyclohexyl and z is an integer of 2-4; with a compound of the formula: ##STR23## wherein R 2 and z are defined above, with a compound of the formula ##STR24## wherein R 1 is alkyl of 1-8 carbon atoms, R 4 and R 5 each independently are hydrogen, methyl or phenyl, n is 0 or 1 and m is an integer of 1-6, or with a compound of the formula ##STR25## wherein R 1 and m are defined as above; applying the resultant photosensitive polyimide acid derivative onto said substrate to form a layer of photosensitive polyamic acid derivative, subjecting said layer to a desired light pattern, developing said exposed layer to thereby form a polyamic acid derivative pattern and the said polyamic derivative pattern is subjected to a thermal treartment thereby converting the polyamic acid derivative to a polyimide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 197 words
A method for producing a semiconductor device having a semiconductor body comprising at least one semiconductor element having a polyimide pattern on a substrate comprising the steps of treating a polyamic acid with a compound of the formula: ##STR22## wherein R 2 is hydrogen or methyl, R 6 is hydrogen or methyl, R 7 is isopropyl or cyclohexyl and z is an integer of 2-4; with a compound of the formula: ##STR23## wherein R 2 and z are defined above, with a compound of the formula ##STR24## wherein R 1 is alkyl of 1-8 carbon atoms, R 4 and R 5 each independently are hydrogen, methyl or phenyl, n is 0 or 1 and m is an integer of 1-6, or with a compound of the formula ##STR25## wherein R 1 and m are defined as above; applying the resultant photosensitive polyimide acid derivative onto said substrate to form a layer of photosensitive polyamic acid derivative, subjecting said layer to a desired light pattern, developing said exposed layer to thereby form a polyamic acid derivative pattern and the said polyamic derivative pattern is subjected to a thermal treartment thereby converting the polyamic acid derivative to a polyimide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 53 words
A method of claim 1 wherein polyamic acid is treated with a compound of the formula: ##STR26## wherein R 2 has a meaning given herein before, R 6 is a hydrogen atom or a metal group, R 7 is an isopropyl group or a cyclohexyl group, and C has a value of 2-4.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the polyamic acid is treated with a compound of the formula in which R 7 is isopropyl or cyclohexyl and C has a value of 2-4.
