Abstract

A positive working, thermally stable photoresist, comprising a light-sensitive orthoquinone diazide or naphthoquinone diazide and a polyamic acid condensation product of an aromatic dianhydride and an aromatic di-primary amine, and a support carrying a layer of said photoresist. After exposure, the image is developed in the layer with an alkaline aqueous developer and is unaffected by heating to 500.degree. C, thus allowing the use of the photoresist layer for plasma and sputter-etching as well as ion implantation.
