Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the structural parameters of the polyimide precursor by controlling the molar ratio of specific repeating units (Formula 1-2) to be 60-90% among structural isomers. This parameter optimization enables the precursor to achieve high cyclization rate while maintaining storage stability, resolving the contradiction between productivity and stability

AI summary

A photosensitive resin composition using a polyimide precursor composition, a cured film, a method for producing a cured film, a semiconductor device, and a method for producing a polyimide precursor composition are provided. In the polyimide precursor composition, the molar ratio of repeating units represented by General Formula (1-2) among structural isomers of the polyimide precursor is 60% to 90% by mole. In General Formula (1-2), A1 and A2 each independently represents an oxygen atom or NH, R111 and R112 each independently represents a single bond or a divalent organic group, and R113 and R114 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group.
