The present invention involves a method for making a relief image. A film that includes a carrier sheet and an imageable material is used to form a mask image that is opaque to a curing radiation. In one embodiment, the mask image is formed on the carrier sheet while in another embodiment, the mask image is formed on a receptor sheet. The mask image is then transferred to a photosensitive material, such as a flexographic printing plate precursor. The resulting assembly is exposed to the curing radiation resulting in exposed and unexposed areas of the photosensitive material. The carrier sheet or the receptor sheet may be removed from the mask image either before or after exposure to the curing radiation. Finally, the photosensitive material and mask image assembly is developed with a suitable developer to form a relief image.

A novel process for using a hard mask or protective layer in conjunction with an extremely thin photoresist is provided. In this process, a thin film of the protective layer is coated on the surface of a substrate that is to be selectively modified by reactive ion etch (RIE). The protective layer is photosensitive and anti-reflective. An extremely thin photoresist layer is coated on top of the protective layer. The stack of the films is selectively exposed to actinic radiation at a wavelength determined by the sensitivities of the protective layer and photoresist layer. The latent images on the photoresist and protective layers resulting from the exposure are developed with a common alkaline developer. The three dimensional patterns of photoresist and underlying protective layer are formed simultaneously by the single exposure and single development. When the underlying substrate is etched by RIE, the protective layer is the masking layer, not the photoresist.
