 Votes so far: For:(0) Against:(0)
Claims: What is claimed is:

1. A process for forming an image with a positive resist, said process comprising the steps of:

1. forming on a substrate a film of a composition comprising a polymer containing the structural unit ##EQU3## wherein R is H, CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5,

2. exposing said film in a predetermined pattern to radiation,

3. removing the radiation exposed portion of said film with a solvent. 2. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the radiation is by means of an electron beam.

3. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the radiation is by means of light.

4. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein R is hydrogen.

5. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein R is CH.sub.3.

6. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein R is C.sub.2 H.sub.5.

7. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the polymer is poly(dimethacrylimide).

8. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the polymer is a copolymer of dimethacrylimide and another vinyl type monomer.

9. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the polymer is a copolymer of dimethacrylimide and methyl methacrylate.

10. A process for the in situ preparation of a resist film, said process comprising heating a resist film containing dimethacrylic structures with ammonia, methyl amine or ethyl amine.
