  • Patent number: 8409784
    Abstract: Disclosed is a photosensitive resin composition which does not contain any halogenated compound or any antimony compound that has a high risk of putting a load on the environment, which exerts good flame retardancy after being cured, and which particularly meets the recent exacting requirements with respect to bending resistance and insulation reliability. Specifically disclosed is a photosensitive resin composition comprising: (A) a (meth)acrylate compound represented by the general formula (1); (B) a polyimide precursor; and (C) a photopolymerization initiator [in the formula, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a univalent organic group; n and m independently represent an integer of 1 to 5; p represents an integer of 0 to 6; q and r independently represent an integer of 0 to 4; and s represent an integer of 0 to 6, provided that the sum of p, q, r and s is 6, and the sum total of p and s may range from 3 to 6 and is preferably 6].

  • Patent number: 8362103
    Abstract: The invention provides a resin composition which develops excellent flame retardance after curing in spite of its being free from halogen-containing compounds and antimony compounds, which are liable to cause environmental load, and which can give a film meeting the recent sever demands for higher flexing resistance and insulation reliability. Specifically, the invention provides a resin composition which comprises (A) a polyimide precursor and (B) an adduct of an organophosphorus compound represented by formula (1) with a compound having four or more (meth)acrylate groups. It is preferable that the resin composition further contain (C) a phosphazene compound.

  • Patent number: 8361605
    Abstract: A photosensitive resin composition which is effective in avoiding troubles in the step of plating with various metals in printed wiring board production, such as under-film metal deposition and film peeling, and which forms a wiring-protecting film excellent in adhesion, flexibility, insulation reliability, and heat resistance. The photosensitive resin composition comprises (A) a carboxylated polymer, (B) a compound having at least two photopolymerizable unsaturated double bonds, (C) a photopolymerization initiator, and (D) a nitrogen compound represented by a specific feature.
