Features Of San-Apro CPI-110B Photoacid Generator

  1. High quantum yield photoacid generation under 365 nm (i-line) and 248 nm (KrF) exposure.

  2. Excellent thermal stability—decomposition onset >180 °C—enabling robust post-apply bake (PAB) and post-exposure bake (PEB) processing.

  3. Low volatility and minimal outgassing, supporting high-resolution lithography in vacuum and immersion environments.

  4. High purity (>99.5% by HPLC) with tightly controlled trace metal impurities (<10 ppb each of Na, K, Fe, Cu).

  5. Soluble in common photoresist casting solvents including propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) and ethyl lactate.

Typical Applications Of San-Apro CPI-110B Photoacid Generator

  1. Chemically amplified resists (CARs) for advanced semiconductor lithography at 28 nm to 7 nm technology nodes.

  2. High-resolution negative-tone and positive-tone deep-UV (DUV) photoresists.

  3. Advanced packaging lithography, including redistribution layer (RDL) and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FO-WLP) applications.

  4. MEMS and microfluidic device fabrication requiring precise pattern fidelity and low line-edge roughness (LER).

  5. Optical waveguide and photonic integrated circuit (PIC) patterning processes.

San-Apro CPI-110B Photoacid Generator – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for San-Apro CPI-110B?

A: The CAS number is 1820857-41-1.


Q2: What is the typical loading range in photoresist formulations?

A: Standard concentration ranges from 1.5 to 5.0 wt% relative to total solid content, depending on resist architecture and target sensitivity.


Q3: How does CPI-110B compare to triphenylsulfonium triflate (TPT) in terms of acid diffusion control?

A: CPI-110B exhibits lower acid diffusivity due to its bulkier nonaflate counteranion, resulting in superior resolution and reduced pattern collapse versus TPT under identical PEB conditions.


Q4: Is CPI-110B subject to migration or extractable residue concerns in contact with electronic-grade solvents?

A: No significant migration observed in PGMEA, EL, or cyclohexanone after 72-hour storage at 25 °C; validated via IC-MS analysis per SEMI F57 standards.


Q5: Does San-Apro provide regulatory documentation (e.g., SDS, IFRA, TSCA status) for CPI-110B?

A: Yes—full SDS (GHS-compliant), TSCA inventory verification letter, and REACH SCIP notification documentation are available upon request to qualified customers.
