Abstract
Abstract In a process for forming a wiring conductor of Cu, Al, Au or the like on a wiring substrate, polyimide-based resin having the following unit structural formula is used as a lift-off material. ##STR1## wherein R 1 : ##STR2## R 2 : ##STR3## n is an integer of 15,000 to 30,000. This lift-off material has very good etching susceptibility and can be selectively lifted off with an etching solution of a mixture of hydrazine and ethylene diamine from a lower polyimide layer having R 1 : ##STR4## R 2 : ##STR5## .
