Features Of San-Apro CPI-110P Photoacid Generator

  1. High quantum yield of acid generation under 365 nm (i-line) exposure, enabling efficient lithographic patterning.

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 180 °C, minimizing premature acid release during pre-bake and post-exposure bake steps.

  3. Low volatility and negligible sublimation at standard processing temperatures, ensuring consistent film uniformity and shelf-life stability.

  4. High solubility in common photoresist casting solvents including PGMEA, ethyl lactate, and propylene glycol monomethyl ether.

  5. Controlled acid strength (H₀ ≈ –2.1) optimized for high-resolution chemically amplified resists without excessive deprotection diffusion.

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

  1. i-line (365 nm) photolithography for semiconductor front-end-of-line (FEOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) patterning.

  2. Advanced packaging applications including fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) and redistribution layer (RDL) fabrication.

  3. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and sensor device manufacturing requiring high-fidelity resist profiles.

  4. LED and power device fabrication where thermal budget and line-edge roughness (LER) control are critical.

  5. Flexible printed electronics using low-temperature cure processes compatible with polyimide and PET substrates.

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

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

A: The CAS Number is 181028-56-0 (triphenylsulfonium perfluorobutanesulfonate).


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

A: Typical loading is 2.0–5.0 wt% relative to total solids; optimal performance is observed at 3.2–3.8 wt% in standard i-line novolac resists.


Q3: How does CPI-110P compare to triphenylsulfonium triflate (CPI-210S) in terms of acid diffusion control?

A: CPI-110P generates a less mobile, bulkier perfluorobutanesulfonate anion, resulting in ~30% lower acid diffusion length under identical PEB conditions—ideal for sub-0.5 µm feature resolution.


Q4: Is CPI-110P compliant with food-contact or medical device regulations?

A: No—CPI-110P is not certified for food-contact or implantable medical devices. It is designated for industrial semiconductor and electronics manufacturing only.


Q5: Has migration or extractables testing been performed for CPI-110P in aqueous or organic simulants?

A: Yes—per ISO 10993-12 protocols, <0.1 ppm total organic extractables were measured in 50% ethanol/water simulant after 72 h at 60 °C, confirming low leachability in standard resist processing.
