Abstract

The invention relates to a positive-acting photoresist composition containing a mixture of photoactive compounds. One component of the mixture is the esterification product of an o-quinonediazide sulfonyl compound with a phenolic resin. Another component of the mixture is the esterification product of an o-quinonediazide sulfonyl compound with a low molecular weight phenol having from one to three aryl groups and from one to three hydroxyl groups. A third photoactive component which may be present in the formulation is the esterification product of an o-quinonediazide sulfonyl compound with a relative high molecular weight, polyhydric, polynuclear phenol.
