Abstract: A pattern forming method, comprising the steps of providing a resist film on a substrate; providing a photosensitive film containing a photosensitive diazonium salt on the resist film; and then subjecting the resultant composite to pattern exposure by use of a light to which both of the resist film and the photosensitive diazonium salt are sensitive, can employ a composition for pattern formation which comprises a photosensitive diazonium salt, a resin binder and a solvent. By this method, a minute pattern of 1 .mu.m or less can be formed, utilizing effectively the UV-ray exposure technique of the prior art, with good dimensional precision and stability.

Abstract: Photoresist compositions based upon a water-soluble polymer are disclosed together with a water-soluble bisazide compound as a cross-linker, a water-soluble adhesion-improving diazo compound are characterized in that a water-soluble silane compound is included. The compositions are photosensitive, particularly to ultraviolet rays, and adhere well to the substrates to which they are applied. The compositions of the invention are used as photoresists.

Abstract: There are disclosed a composition for making a picture tube fluorescent screen characterized by essentially consisting of a light-sensitive resin at least having recurring units (1) and (2) represented by the formulas: ##STR1## wherein R and X.sup.- have the same meanings as defined in the specification, and CaS-based phosphor particles which are dispersed in an aqueous medium, and a method of making a picture tube fluorescent screen using the same.According to this invention, it is possible to make a picture tube exhibiting an excellent light emitting efficiency and a contrast by a simple process.

Abstract: There is presented a chemical copper-plating bath capable of providing a plated film having excellent mechanical characteristics, especially ductility, which bath contains a specific additive having the following formula: ##STR1## Stability of the bath as well as further improvement of mechanical strength of plated films are also found to be attained by adding in combination at least one compound selected from the group consisting of 1,10-phenanthroline, its derivatives, 2,2'-dipyridyl, 2,2'-diquinoline and water-soluble cyanides.

Abstract: A printed circuit is formed by a coating the entire region of at least one main surface of an insulating substrate with a resin type adhesive layer containing a solid solution consisting of titanium oxide, nickel oxide and antimony oxide, followed by selectively forming a mask on the adhesive layer to provide the non-masked region as a circuit-forming region. Further, the circuit-forming region is treated with a solution of an oxidizing agent and, then, subjected to an activation treatment. Finally, the mask is removed and a desired conductive layer pattern is formed on the activated surface region by means of electroless plating.
