Abstract
A positive photosensitive composition is disclosed which comprises a compound generating an acid upon irradiation with actinic rays or a radiation and a resin having groups which decompose by the action of an acid to enhance solubility in an alkaline developing solution, said resin being obtained by reacting an alkali-soluble resin having phenolic hydroxyl groups with at least one specific enol ether compound under acid conditions in a specific organic solvent. The positive photosensitive composition shows improved discrimination between nonimage areas and image areas, has high sensitivity, high resolving power, and high heat resistance, suffers little change in performance with the lapse of time from exposure to light to heat treatment (PED), and is free from defects, e.g., development defects.
