  • Patent number: 11249398
    Abstract: A method for producing a plated shaped structure, includes applying a photosensitive resin composition on a substrate to form a photosensitive resin coating film. The photosensitive resin composition includes: (A) a resin whose solubility in alkali is capable of being increased by an action of an acid; (B) a photoacid generator; and (C) a compound which is capable of being decomposed by an action of an acid to form a primary or secondary amine. The photosensitive resin coating film is exposed to light. The photosensitive resin coating film is developed after the exposing to light to form a resist pattern. A plating process is performed using the resist pattern as a mask.
