NANOCOMPOSITE PHOTORESIST COMPOSITION FOR IMAGING THICK FILMS

摘要

The present invention relates to a photoresist composition suitable for image-wise exposure and development as a positive photoresist comprising a positive photoresist composition and an inorganic particle material having an average particle size equal or greater than 10 nanometers, wherein the thickness of the photoresist coating film is greater than 5 microns. The positive photoresist composition can be selected from (1) a composition comprising (i) a film-forming resin having acid labile groups, and (ii) a photoacid generator, or (2) a composition comprising (i) a film-forming novolak resin, and (ii) a photoactive compound, or (3) a composition comprising (i) a film-forming resin, (ii) a photoacid generator, and (iii) a dissolution inhibitor.
