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 Generates a strong 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 ortho-hydroxybenzoate structure : Provides good photosensitivity Reduces acid diffusion, improving resolution Works synergistically with the triphenylsulfonium cation → good thermal stability and stable photoresist performance 2. Cationic Photocuring Systems Used in UV-induced cationic curing of epoxy resins and vinyl ether systems 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)
