This paper surveys novel photoimageable polyimides (PHIMPI), with emphasis on synthesis. Details of the chemistry and synthesis techniques on PHIMPI are discussed. A number of associated issues such as swelling, storage stability, shrinkage, photospeed, solvent developability, moisture absorption, thermal expansion and mechanical properties are presented. Most of the photoimageable polyimides that are commercially suitable to date are negative‐acting, although recent developments in positive‐acting PHIMPI are included.
