Features Of San-Apro CPI-210S Photoacid Generator

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

  2. Excellent thermal stability—no premature acid release below 120 °C during pre-bake or storage.

  3. Low volatility and minimal outgassing, supporting high-resolution lithographic processes in vacuum environments.

  4. Compatible with standard alkaline-developable positive-tone resists based on poly(p-hydroxystyrene) and its derivatives.

  5. Consistent batch-to-batch performance with strict QC control per ISO 9001 manufacturing protocols.

Typical Applications Of San-Apro CPI-210S Photoacid Generator

  1. Advanced semiconductor photolithography for logic and memory device fabrication (130–65 nm nodes).

  2. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) patterning requiring high aspect-ratio resist profiles.

  3. Flexible printed electronics, including fine-line silver nanoparticle and conductive polymer patterning.

  4. Wafer-level packaging (WLP) and redistribution layer (RDL) photopatterning using thick-film resists.

  5. Optical waveguide and diffractive optical element (DOE) fabrication in SiO₂ and polymer substrates.

San-Apro CPI-210S Photoacid Generator – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
