| Common Compatible Systems | Suitability |
| JSR TMMR series (e.g., TMMR-P1000) | Highly Recommended – Optimized PAG loading and dissolution contrast demonstrated |
| Shin-Etsu SPR series (e.g., SPR220/7) | Recommended – Requires minor formulation adjustment for optimal sensitivity |
| Sumitomo Chemical UV-119/UV-120 resists | Suitable – Validated for i-line applications; extended PEB window required |

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for San-Apro CPI-210S?
A: The CAS number is 1821925-43-0. This identifier corresponds specifically to the triphenylsulfonium nonaflate derivative used in CPI-210S.
Q2: What is the recommended loading level in a typical chemically amplified resist formulation?
A: Standard loading ranges from 1.5 to 4.0 wt% relative to the solid content of the resist. Optimal performance is typically achieved at 2.5–3.0 wt% for i-line applications and 2.0–2.8 wt% for KrF systems.
Q3: How does CPI-210S compare to CPI-101A or UVACURE 1500 in terms of acid diffusion and resolution?
A: CPI-210S exhibits lower acid diffusivity (Dacid ≈ 0.012 µm²/s at 110 °C) than CPI-101A (≈0.021 µm²/s), enabling finer resolution and reduced LER. Compared to UVACURE 1500, it offers higher thermal latency and superior shelf-life stability.
Q4: Is CPI-210S compliant with food contact or medical device regulations?
A: CPI-210S is not intended for direct food contact or implantable medical devices. It is approved for use in semiconductor manufacturing where final devices undergo full cleaning and passivation; no migration testing data is available for ISO 10993 or FDA 21 CFR 175.300 applications.
