Abstract

Abstract Structures of high resolution in the near UV range and of high sharpness of edge and steepness of edge can be obtained by means of positive photoresists containing, in an organic solvent, in each case essentially at least (a) an alkali-soluble resin (b) a 1,2-naphthoquinone-diazide-5-sulfonyl ester of a trihydroxybenzene isomer (c) an aromatic hydroxy compound and also, if appropriate, further customary additives, and in which the result of component (b) is to give an absorption coefficient of at least 0.5 μm -1 for the photobleachable absorption, and component (c) is present in a concentration of 15-30% by weight, relative to the total solids content.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 41 words
A positive photoresist comprising, in an organic solvent, (a) an alkali-soluble resin, (b) 1,2-naphthoquinone-diazide-5-sulfonyl trisester of 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene, and (c) 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzophenone; component (b) and component (c) each being present in a concentration of 17-30% by weight, relative to the total solids content.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 41 words
A positive photoresist comprising, in an organic solvent, (a) an alkali-soluble resin, (b) 1,2-naphthoquinone-diazide-5-sulfonyl trisester of 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene, and (c) 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzophenone; component (b) and component (c) each being present in a concentration of 17-30% by weight, relative to the total solids content.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 49 words
