Abstract

The present invention relates to a light-sensitive photoresist composition especially useful for imaging thick films, comprising a film-forming alkali-soluble resin, a photoactive compound, and a surfactant at a level ranging from about 2000 ppm to about 14,000 ppm by weight of total photoresist. Preferably the photoresist film has a thickness greater than 20 microns. The invention further provides for a process for coating and imaging the light-sensitive composition of this invention.
