Patent attributes
There is provided an alkaline soluble positive-type photosensitive composition having an infrared wavelength range laser sensitive characteristic. There is also provided a positive-type photosensitive composition not requiring any burning operation, capable of attaining a requisite and sufficient close fitness in coating operation under a condition of indoor working room humidity of 25 to 60%, capable of attaining a development not producing any residuals while keeping a high sensitivity, cutting it with a sharp contour, attaining a quite hard resist film and improving an anti-scar characteristic in a handling before developing operation. This composition includes an alkaline soluble organic high molecular substance having a phenolic hydroxyl group; photo-thermal conversion substance for absorbing infrared rays of an image exposure light source; and a close-fitness modifying agent such as polyvinylpolypirrolidone/polyvinylacetatecopolymer and the like.
