Known Application
I. Core Function: Photoacid Generator (PAG)This compound is an aryl-triaryl sulfonium inner salt and serves as a cationic photoacid generator (PAG). Under UV or deep-UV (DUV) irradiation:It absorbs light and undergoes photolytic cleavageProduces a strong acid (e.g., difluoromethanesulfonic acid)The generated acid can catalyze chemically amplified reactions or initiate subsequent cationic polymerization. It is a key functional additive in photoresist and photopolymer curing systems.II. Main Application Areas
- Semiconductor Photoresists (Chemically Amplified Photoresists, CARs)Applicable to:i-line, KrF, and ArF lithography systemsHigh-resolution chemically amplified photoresistsMain functions:Acid generation upon exposureCatalyzes deprotection reactionsAmplifies exposure effects → improves resolution, sensitivity, and critical dimension / line edge roughness (CD/LER) controlStructural advantages:Difluoromethylsulfonyl and trifluoroethoxy groups → high acid strength, low diffusionAromatic and tert-butyl groups → improve thermal stability and solubilityInner salt structure → reduces migration and enhances optical performance in photoresists
- Cationic Photocuring SystemsUsed in UV-induced cationic curing of epoxy resins and vinyl ether systemsUV irradiation → acid generation → initiates cationic ring-opening polymerization or crosslinkingApplications include:UV-curable coatings and inksElectronic encapsulation materialsPhoto-patternable insulating layers (e.g., PSPI, PI)
