Abstract

The image of an object with opaque and transparent regions having a contrast less than the contrast threshold of a layer of photoresist when light of a predetermined wavelength to which the photoresist is sensitive is passed through the object and onto the layer of photoresist is enhanced in contrast by the provision of a contrast enhancing layer contiguous to the surface of the photoresist to a value above the contrast threshold of the photoresist. The contrast enhancing layer is constituted of an aryl nitrone compound mixed with a suitable binder.
