AI summary

A photosensitive resin composition that provides a polyimide resin with a low dielectric loss tangent and that has excellent stability during storage; a patterned resin film using the photosensitive resin composition; and a method for producing a patterned polyimide resin film by using the photosensitive resin composition. This photosensitive resin composition includes a polyimide resin precursor derived from a dicarboxylic acid compound that has an unsaturated group including a carbon-carbon double bond, and a diamine compound that has, in a side chain, an aromatic group and/or a diamine compound that has a 4,4′-dioxybiphenyl skeleton; a photo-radical polymerization initiator; and an organic solvent. A certain amount of a urea-based solvent is used as the organic solvent.
