Positive photoresist composition for the formation of thick films, photoresist film and method of forming bumps using the same

Abstract

A positive photoresist composition includes an alkali-soluble novolak resin (A), an alkali-soluble acrylic resin (B) and a quinonediazido-group-containing compound (C) and is used for the formation of a thick film 5 to 100 μm thick. The ingredient (B) includes 30% to 90% by weight of a unit (b1) derived from a polymerizable compound having an ether bond and 2% to 50% by weight of a unit (b2) derived from a polymerizable compound having a carboxyl group. The composition is applied on a substrate and thereby yields a photoresist film. Likewise, the composition is applied onto a substrate on an electronic part, is patterned, is plated and thereby yields bumps.
