Abstract

The present invention relates to a negative photoresist essentially comprising PA1 (a) at least one solid, film-folrming polyphenol, PA1 (b) at least one polyfunctional epoxy resin and/or one polyfunctional vinyl ether compound, each of which can be dissolved, in the uncured state, in aqueous alkaline media with salt formation, PA1 (c) at least one cationic photoinitiator for component (b) and PA1 (d) customary additives, if desired. Components (a) and (b) can also be combined in one molecule. The resist can be developed in aqueous alkaline media.
