          Appeal No. 97-0226                                                           
          Application No. 08/441,965                                                   


               The claimed subject matter is directed to a process for                 
          forming a pattern through using, inter alia, a layer of a                    
          photosensitive composition containing a polyimide precursor                  
          and a complex of a polymerizable carboxylic acid functional                  
          compound with a tertiary amino functional group.  This subject               
          matter is related to the subject matter embodied in Appeal No.               
          97-0225, which is directed to a photosensitive composition                   
          itself.  Claim 9 is illustrative of the subject matter on                    
          appeal and reads as follows:                                                 
          9.  A process                    for forming a pattern which                 
          comprises                        providing a layer of a                      
          photosensitive                   composition comprising a                    
          polyimide                        precursor, and as a modifier                
          reactive with                    acid polyimide precursor, a                 
          complex of a                     polymerizable carboxylic acid               
          functional                       compound with a tertiary amino              
          function group                                                               
               wherein said complex is represented by the formula:                     








          wherein each of R , R  and R  is individually selected from the1  2       3                                                
          group of alkyl groups, acrylyl and methacryl groups; and R  is               
                                                                     4                 
          selected from the
