Abstract

Abstract The composition comprises (A) a specified polyimide precursor and (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of a sensitizer, a photopolymerization initiator and a combination thereof. The above process comprises applying a solution of the above photosensitive resin composition on a substrate, followed by drying to form a film; exposing the film to light, followed by developing with an aqueous alkaline solution to form a patterned film; and curing the patterned film. The composition has little ionic impurities mixed therein during the preparation of the composition; is excellent in storage stability in the state of a solution; can be developed with an aqueous alkaline solution, which does not cause the problems such as a problem to health and a problem to the treatment of waste liquids, within a short time; and exhibits a good sensitivity even when formed a thick film, thereby readily providing a patterned resinous film. Further, the cured product obtained by curing the patterned film has a superior heat resistance and excellent electrical and mechanical properties, which can be suitably used as a protective film for use in electronic parts.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 213 words
A photosensitive resin composition comprising: (A) a polyimide precursor having an average molecular weight of at least 10,000 comprised of a structural unit represented by the following general formula (1): ##STR27## wherein X is a tetravalent organic group having an aromatic ring, Y is an aromatic ring-containing divalent organic group or a siloxane bond-containing divalent organic group, the two Z, are each independently a hydrogen atom or an acryloxy group- or methacryloxy group-containing monovalent organic group represented by the following general formula (2): ##STR28## wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and the two are each, independently a hydroxyl group or an acryloxy group- or methacryloxy group-containing amino group represented by the following general formula (3): --NH--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCO--C(R')═CH.sub.2 ( 3) wherein R' is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, provided that the content of the monovalent organic group represented by said general formula (2) accounts for at least 30 mol % of the total Z contained in the polyimide precursor and the content of the amino group represented by the general formula (3) accounts for 10 to 50 mol % of the total W contained in the polyimide precursor; and (B) one member selected from the group consisting of a sensitizer, a photopolymerization initiator, and a combination thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 213 words
A photosensitive resin composition comprising: (A) a polyimide precursor having an average molecular weight of at least 10,000 comprised of a structural unit represented by the following general formula (1): ##STR27## wherein X is a tetravalent organic group having an aromatic ring, Y is an aromatic ring-containing divalent organic group or a siloxane bond-containing divalent organic group, the two Z, are each independently a hydrogen atom or an acryloxy group- or methacryloxy group-containing monovalent organic group represented by the following general formula (2): ##STR28## wherein R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and the two are each, independently a hydroxyl group or an acryloxy group- or methacryloxy group-containing amino group represented by the following general formula (3): --NH--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCO--C(R')═CH.sub.2 ( 3) wherein R' is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, provided that the content of the monovalent organic group represented by said general formula (2) accounts for at least 30 mol % of the total Z contained in the polyimide precursor and the content of the amino group represented by the general formula (3) accounts for 10 to 50 mol % of the total W contained in the polyimide precursor; and (B) one member selected from the group consisting of a sensitizer, a photopolymerization initiator, and a combination thereof.
