Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable addition of a functional material to a water-soluble photosensitive material and formation of a finer pattern by developing said photosensitive material and then rinsing it with a specified solvent. CONSTITUTION:As the water-soluble photosensitive material, one obtained by adding ammonium bichromate to a natural protein, such as gelatin, or a synthetic polymer, such as polyvinyl alcohol, can be used, and it is preferred to use the photosensitive material obtained by adding a light scattering material, such as pigment, to said photosensitive material. The pattern is formed by developing this photosensitive material with water or warm water, and then rinsing it with a compatible organic solvent, such as alcohols, e.g., methanol, ethanol, or 2-propanol, or acetone, and it is preferred to insert an intermediate rinsing step for using an aqueous solution of said solvent between said developing step and the rinsing step.

Incidentally, recently, attempts have been made to add new functions to the above-mentioned water-soluble photosensitive materials by adding functional materials. Various materials are being considered as materials for these functionalities depending on their purpose, such as electrical properties, magnetic properties, optical properties, etc., but most of them are not sufficiently transparent and have the property of scattering light. are doing. For this reason, a part of the ultraviolet rays used for exposure is reflected, scattered or absorbed by the added functional material, resulting in problems such as a decrease in the sensitivity of the sensitive material or a decrease in edge sharpness.

Water-soluble photosensitive materials that can be used effectively in the present invention include natural proteins such as gelatin, casein, and green, or synthetic polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, which have been made photosensitized with ammonium dichromate, diazo compounds, etc. If so, there are no particular limitations. Although the effects of the present invention can be seen even with these water-soluble photosensitive materials alone, the effects are most noticeable when the photosensitive materials contain various light-scattering substances. This light-scattering substance may be a metal, an inorganic compound, or an organic compound, but if the particle size is too large, the degree of light scattering will be too strong and photosensitivity will be lost, so it is usually several μm. Hereinafter, those having a diameter of preferably 1 μm or less are generally used.

In the present invention, methanol,
It is characterized by performing a rinsing step using alcohols such as ethanol and 2-propanol, or compatible organic solvents such as acetone. That is, following the conventional development process, that is, dip development, flow development, and spray development using water or hot water, a compatible 1111't8 agent such as alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol, or acetone is used. Perform the rinsing process. The rinsing method may be dip, flow, or spray, similar to development. Furthermore, if the photosensitive material dries between the development step and the rinsing step, the effects of the present invention cannot be obtained, so it is necessary to immediately proceed to the rinsing step after development without passing through the drying step. Desirably, an intermediate rinse consisting of an aqueous solution of the same solvent as that used in the rinsing step is provided between the developing step and the rinsing step. More desirably, the number of stages of the intermediate rinsing step is increased to provide an intermediate rinsing in which the concentration of the solvent used in the rinsing step changes continuously from water as a developer. By the above method, it has become possible to improve the edge shape of a photosensitive material even if the edge shape is extremely poor.

In the development, first, spray development with water was performed for 60 seconds, and then 2-propanol was sprayed for 30 seconds, followed by rinsing. Thereafter, when it was dried by spin drying, good pixels were obtained which were comparable to those of the photosensitive material to which no pigment was added. On the other hand, when rinsing with 2-propanol was not performed for comparison, the edges of the image pattern were extremely deformed, and 2-propanol was not rinsed.
Rinsing with propanol has been shown to improve image quality.
It has been certified.

[Example 2] In the same manner as in the above example, a water-soluble photosensitive material to which pigments were added was used, and after coating, prebeta, exposure, and development,
An intermediate rinse was performed by spraying a 50% 2-propanol/water mixture for 15 seconds, followed by a main rinse using 100% 2-propanol. By performing this intermediate rinsing, the dry stains that occur during spin drying were significantly reduced, and the visual appearance was improved. Note that no change in the edge improvement effect was observed by performing an intermediate rinse.
