Abstract

A composition including an initiator which generates acid upon exposure to radiation in the presence of a sensitizer. The composition may be mixed with an acid sensitive polymer or prepolymer to make a visible light or laser imageable photoresist. The sensitizer has phenylethynyl and methoxy substituents which, when properly positioned, allow it to utilize all of the visible argon ion laser lines.
