Abstract

A positive photosensitive polymer composition of the invention contains: a copolymer obtained by the radical polymerization of monomers including a radical polymerizable monomer (a1) having a (meth)acryloyl group and a polyalkylene glycol group a terminal of which is an alkoxy group; and a 1,2-quinone diazide compound. The positive photosensitive polymer composition may further contain a copolymer obtained by the radical polymerization of monomers not including the monomer (a1).
