Abstract

A photosensitive resin composition suitable for forming a thick film and an ultra-thick film used for forming a thick resist pattern used in the process of forming a magnetic pole on a magnetic head and a bump, which comprises (A) an alkali soluble novolak resin, (B) an alkali soluble acrylic resin, (C) an acetal compound, and (D) an acid generator. A polycondensate comprising a structural unit represented by the following general formula (I) (wherein R represents a saturated alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, n is an integer of 1 to 10) as an acetal compound

Claims (10)

1. A chemically amplified positive-working photosensitive resin composition, comprising (A) an alkali soluble novolak resin, (B) an alkali soluble acrylic resin, (C) an acetal compound, and (D) an acid generator further where the weight ratio of the components (A):(B):(C):(D) is 100:(2 to 200):(1 to 50):(0.05 to 10), further where the acrylic resin contains a structural unit derived from hydroxyalkyl methacrylate and a structural unit derived from alkyl methacrylate, and optionally a structural unit derived from styrene.

2. The chemically amplified positive-working photosensitive resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the acetal compound has a structural unit represented by the following general formula (I):

wherein R represents a saturated alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon-atoms; and n is an integer of 1 to 10.

3. A coated substrate comprising a coating of the chemically amplified positive-working photosensitive resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the coating has a film thickness of 5 μm or more.

4. A process comprising imaging the chemically amplified positive-working photosensitive resin composition of claim 1 and followed by forming a cyan or non cyan electrolytic gold plating layer.

5. The process of claim 4 wherein plating layer is a multilayer.

6. The process of claim 5 , where the multilayer comprises a gold layer and at least one additional layer selected from copper, nickel and solder.

7. A process comprising imaging the chemically amplified positive-working photosensitive resin composition of claim 1 and followed by forming a plating layer selected from copper, nickel and solder.

8. The process of claim 7 , wherein the plating layer is a multilayer.

9. The process of claim 8 , where the multilayer comprises at least one layer selected from copper, nickel and solder, and at least one additional layer comprising gold.
