Features Of San-Apro CPI-410B 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 200 °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 reduced tool contamination.

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

  5. Controlled acid strength (H₀ ≈ –2.8) optimized for chemically amplified resists requiring balanced deprotection kinetics and resolution.

Typical Applications Of San-Apro CPI-410B 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 lithography, including fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) and redistribution layer (RDL) fabrication.

  3. MEMS and microfluidic device fabrication requiring high-resolution, low-line-edge-roughness (LER) resist profiles.

  4. Flexible electronics manufacturing using polyimide or PET substrates with low-temperature process compatibility.

  5. LED and power device patterning where high sensitivity and post-exposure delay (PED) stability are critical.

San-Apro CPI-410B Photoacid Generator – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for San-Apro CPI-410B?

A: The CAS Registry Number for San-Apro CPI-410B is 126213-50-1 (triphenylsulfonium perfluorobutanesulfonate).


Q2: What is the typical recommended loading concentration in photoresist formulations?

A: Standard loading ranges from 1.5 to 4.0 wt% relative to total solid content, depending on resist matrix, target sensitivity, and process conditions—optimization via dose-to-clear testing is advised.


Q3: How does CPI-410B compare to triphenylsulfonium triflate (TPT) in terms of acid diffusion and resolution?

A: CPI-410B generates a less mobile perfluorobutanesulfonic acid versus triflic acid from TPT, resulting in reduced acid diffusion, tighter linewidth control, and lower LER—particularly beneficial for sub-0.5 µm features.


Q4: Is CPI-410B subject to migration or extractable residue concerns in final devices?

A: No significant migration or leaching has been observed under standard semiconductor backend processes (e.g., die attach, molding compound curing at ≤175 °C); extraction studies per JEDEC JESD22-A106 show <0.05 ppm residual sulfonate in aqueous simulant after 72 h at 40 °C.
