This invention relates to a negative-working photosensitive resin
composition that can be developed in an alkaline developer. This
photosensitive resin composition comprises: (a) a polyimide having at
least one group selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group, a
phenolic hydroxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, and a thiol group at the
terminus of the polymer main chain; (b) a compound having a polymerizable
functional group comprising unsaturated double and/or triple bonds; and
(c) a photopolymerization initiator.
