The present invention relates to a
positive type photosensitive resin precursor composition which is characterized in that it contains
polymer having, as its chief component, structural units represented by the following general formula (1) and, furthermore, in that it satisfies the following conditions (a) and / or (b). The invention provides an alkali-developable photosensitive composition.(a) There is included an ester of a
naphthoquinone diazide sulphonic acid and a
phenol compound of
dipole moment 0.1 to 1.6
debye(b) There is included a
phenol compound represented by general formula (8) and a
naphthoquinone diazide sulphonic acid and / or an ester of a
phenol compound represented by general formula (8) and a
naphthoquinone diazide sulphonic acid(In general formula (1), R1 represents a bivalent to octavalent
organic group with at least two carbon atoms, R2 represents a bivalent to hexavalent
organic group with at least two carbon atoms, and R3 represents
hydrogen or an
organic group with from one to ten carbons. n is an integer in the range 10 to 100,000, m is an integer in the range 0 to 2, and p and q are integers in the range 0 to 4, but p and q are not simultaneously 0.)(In the formula, R23, R24, R26 and R27 each represents a
hydrogen atom or a C1-8
alkyl group,
alkoxy group, carboxyl group or ester group. At least one R25 is hydroxyl group, while the rest represent
hydrogen atoms and C1-8
alkyl groups. aa, bb, cc and dd represent integers in the range 0 to 3. However, aa+bb<=5, bb+dd<=5 and aa+bb>0. ee represents an integer in the range 1 to 3.)
