NA-CS1Nonionic photoacid generator Photocationic polymerization initiator Arylamide skeleton

Characteristics and Applications

NA-CS1 is a non-ionic type photoacid generator with high sensitivity to i-line, a special grade available only from us. It generates bulky camphorsulfonic acid, making it possible to suppress acid diffusion (e.g., improve pattern rectangularity). It also has excellent resistance to strong amines such as triethylamine and thermal stability.
NA-CS1 is a solvent-free powder product.

Regarding absorbed wavelengths

The i-line (365nm) has an absorption of about 400 [M-1cm-1] in molar absorption coefficient.There is no absorption in the h-line (405 nm) or g-line (436 nm).”
Solubility

It dissolves about 25 wt% in PGMEA and about 35 wt% in γ-butyrolactone.
Resistance to Amines

It is highly stable even in the presence of pyridine or triethylamine.
Regarding different types of acids generated

We have mainly developped alkyl sulfonic acids and aryl sulfonic acids. Please feel free to contact us.
Recommended amount of additive

Add about 0.5 to 3 wt% to the resin, depending on the application and film thickness.
Recommended film thickness

It has a low molar extinction coefficient at 365 nm and high permeability, making it suitable for use on thick films (50 μm and above).Of course, it can also be used with a thin film.
