摘要:
A resist composition is prepared by reacting an alkali-soluble polymer having a phenolic hydroxyl or carboxyl groups with a vinyl ether compound in an aprotic solvent, such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, in the presence of an acid catalyst, suspending the reaction by the addition of a base, and directly adding a photoacid generator to the reaction solution. When a dialkyl dicarbonate is used in stead of the vinyl ether compound, a resist composition is prepared by carrying out the reaction in the presence of a basic catalyst and adding a photoacid generator directly to the reaction. Thus resist compositions can be prepared without isolating or purifying an alkali-soluble polymer which has been substituted by a catalytic reaction.

A colored, photosensitive resin composition of a pigment dispersing-type is disclosed.The colored, photosensitive resin composition is characterized by containing (a) a polymer having alcohlic or phenolic hydroxyl groups, (b) a compound capable of producing a nitrene when irradiated with an actinic radiation, (c) a pigment, and (d) a solvent. Preferably, the composition further contains (e) a heat crosslinking agent and/or (f) a compound having a polymerizable double bond in addition to the above ingredients.According to the present invention, the production of a color filter need not be performed in an inert gas atmosphere, does not require an oxygen barrier film and does not require heating during the period of from the exposure step to the development step. Thus, the use of the composition permits the color filter production steps to be made significantly simple so that the composition provides a great value in industrial utilization.
摘要:
A method of logic simulation for simulating operation of a logic circuit by using basic signal values corresponding to states of output signals of elements of the logic circuit to be simulated and expanded signal values including the basic signal values. The logic circuit to be simulated is divided into a portion to be simulated by using the basic signal values and the expanded signal values and a portion to be simulated by using the basic signal values without using the expanded signal values. The elements for which definition of calculation method for output signal values for the input signal values including the expanded signal values is not easy are included in the latter portion, and other elements are included in the former portion. A virtual signal conversion element for converting the expanded signal into the basic signal is provided at a position where a signal is sent from the former portion to the latter portion so that the expanded signal value outputted from the element of the former portion is converted into the basic signal value before it is sent to the element of the latter portion.
