A sacrificial film-forming composition is provided comprising (A) a
silicone resin which is a co-hydrolytic condensate of hydrolyzable
silanes having formulae (1) and (2): X--Y--SiZ.sub.3 (1)
R.sub.nSiZ.sub.4-n (2) wherein Z is a hydrolyzable group, X is a
crosslinkable organofunctional group such as an unsubstituted hydroxyl
group or a substituted or unsubstituted epoxy, acyloxy or acryloxy group,
Y is a single bond or a divalent hydrocarbon group, R is hydrogen or a
monovalent hydrocarbon group, and n is an integer of 0 to 3, the silicone
resin being capable of crosslinking reaction by the crosslinkable
organofunctional group in formula (1), (B) a crosslinking agent, (C) an
acid generator, and (D) an organic solvent. The composition has improved
storage stability, filling properties, adhesion and coating uniformity
sufficient to form a sacrificial film which is effectively dissolvable in
a stripping solution.
