Abstract

The present invention provides a positive photo-sensitive resin composition comprising a polybenzoxazole precursor as a base resin, an organic solvent-soluble polymer or its precursor (e.g., a polyamic acid) as a component for imparting improved adhesion, flexibility or heat resistance, and a diazoquinone compound and/or a dihydropyridine compound as a photosensitive agent. This photo-sensitive resin composition can form a pattern of high resolution and further has excellent adhesion and mechanical properties. The present invention further provides three novel diazoquinone compounds as a photo-sensitive agent, which compounds give high resolution, high contrast and thick-film formability when compounded in a positive photo-sensitive resin composition. The present invention furthermore provides a new type positive photo-sensitive resin composition obtained by reacting a polybenzoxazole precursor with a diazoquinone compound as a photo-sensitive agent. This photo-sensitive resin composition has excellent alkali resistance when unexposed to a light and accordingly can give a high residual film ratio.
