Abstract

A radiation sensitive mixture useful for producing relief patterns contains PA0 (a) a polymeric binder which is insoluble in water but soluble in aqueous alkaline solutions and PA0 (b) an organic compound whose solubility in an aqueous alkaline developer is increased by the action of acid and which contains at least one acid cleavable group and additionally a group which forms a strong acid on irradiation, and in addition PA0 (c) a nonphotosensitive organic compound which contains at least one acid cleavable bond and the solubility of which in an aqueous alkaline developer is increased by the action of acid, or PA0 (d) a nonphotosensitive organic compound which contains at least one acid cleavable bond and which by the action of acid decomposes in such a way as to be completely removable by treatment at from 60.degree. to 120.degree.
