ABSTRACT:
A polyimide pattern is formed on a substrate by providing a layer of photosensitive polyimide precursor containing the polyimide precursor and a compound having a photosensitive group on the substrate and prebaking the layer. The layer is then exposed imagewise to actinic radiation through a photomask to form an exposed image pattern of the polyimide precursor in the layer. The unexposed areas of the layer are removed using a liquid developer and the exposed image pattern is cured by heating. In one aspect of the present invention, the prebaking step employs a judicious selection of times and temperature to eliminate the problem of formation of a white residue that occurs from using prior art prebake procedures. In another aspect of the present invention, a particular liquid developer composition is employed to facilitate the formation of sloped vias in the polyimide. In another aspect of the present invention, a particular range of exposure wavelength(s) is employed to obtain smooth walled vias.
