Abstract
A heat-resistant, electrical insulating layer which is suitable for use as an insulating substrate in printed circuit boards and as an insulating film for semiconductor devices and which surpasses a polyimide-based insulating layer with respect to heat resisting properties, dielectric properties, and water absorption. The insulating layer comprises a polycondensed fused polycyclic, polynuclear aromatic resin prepared by a polycondensation reaction of a starting material with a crosslinking agent in the presence of an acid catalyst. The starting material is selected from the group consisting of fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which may have a hydroxyl group as a ring substituent and mixtures of a fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and a monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon both of which may have a hydroxyl group as a ring substituent. The crosslinking agent is an aromatic compound having at least two hydroxymethyl or halomethyl groups as ring substituents.
