Known Application
I. Core Function : Photoacid Generator (PAG)
This compound is a triphenylsulfonium salt-based photoacid generator (PAG). Under UV or deep-UV (DUV) irradiation :
It absorbs light and undergoes photolytic cleavage
Produces a strong acid (difluoromethanesulfonic acid)
The generated acid can catalyze chemically amplified reactions or initiate subsequent cationic polymerization. It is a key functional additive in photoresist and cationic photopolymer curing systems.
II. Main Application Areas
1.Semiconductor Photoresists (Chemically Amplified Photoresists, CARs)
Applicable to :
i-line, KrF, and ArF lithography systems
High-resolution chemically amplified photoresists
Main functions :
Acid generation upon exposure
Catalyzes deprotection reactions
Amplifies exposure effects → improves resolution, sensitivity, and critical dimension / line edge roughness (CD/LER) control
Advantages of the adamantyl structure :
Provides high thermal stability
Reduces acid diffusion → improves resolution and line edge roughness
Enhances optical performance and formulation stability of photoresists
- Cationic Photocuring Systems
Used in UV-induced cationic curing of epoxy resins and vinyl ether materials
UV irradiation → acid generation → initiates cationic ring-opening polymerization or crosslinking
Applications include :
UV-curable coatings and inks
Electronic encapsulation materials
Photo-patternable insulating layers (e.g., PSPI, PI)
