The stability of the dye in the resist material is preferably improved. When a linear resin that does not have an ethylenically unsaturated double bond in the side chain is used, the dye is not easily trapped by the resin in the mixture of the resin and the dye, and the dye is free.

The balance of aliphatic groups and aromatic groups that act as affinity groups for aromatic carboxyl groups, dye carriers and solvents is important for the penetrability, developability, and durability of the near-infrared absorbing dye (A) of the present invention. It is preferable to use a resin having an acid value of 20 to 300 mgKOH / g. When the acid value is less than 20 mgKOH / g, the solubility in the developing solution is poor and it is difficult to form a fine pattern. When it exceeds 300 mgKOH / g, no fine pattern remains.

  Since the binder resin has good film formability and various resistances, it is preferably used in an amount of 30 parts by weight or more with respect to the total weight of 100 parts by weight of the dye, has a high dye concentration, and can exhibit good optical properties.
