Route of Synthesis (ROS)
| Conditions | Yield |
| With sodium hydrogencarbonate In water at 20℃; for 1.16667h; Experimental Procedure Synthesis of Sulfonium Salt D-1 Pure water was added to 10.0 g (72.4 mmol) of salicylic acid and 6.1 g (72.4 mmol) of sodium bicarbonate, and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. Then, 21.6 g (72.4 mmol) of triphenylsulfonium chloride was added. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, the layers were separated, and the resulting organic layer was washed with pure water. The solvent was then removed using a rotary evaporator to obtain a crude product. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography to obtain 27.2 g (94% yield) of the desired product (sulfonium salt D-1). | 94% |

| Use Pattern |
| I. Core Function: Photoacid Generator (PAG) This compound is a triphenylsulfonium salt-based photoacid generator (PAG). Under UV or deep-UV (DUV) irradiation: It absorbs light and undergoes photolytic cleavage Generates a strong acid The generated acid can catalyze chemically amplified reactions or initiate subsequent cationic polymerization. It is a key functional additive in photoresist and cationic photopolymer curing systems. II. Main Application Areas 1. Semiconductor Photoresists (Chemically Amplified Photoresists, CARs) Applicable to: i-line, KrF, and ArF lithography systems High-resolution chemically amplified photoresists Main functions: Acid generation upon exposure Catalyzes deprotection reactions Amplifies exposure effects → improves resolution, sensitivity, and critical dimension / line edge roughness (CD/LER) control Advantages of the ortho-hydroxybenzoate structure: Provides good photosensitivity Reduces acid diffusion, improving resolution Works synergistically with the triphenylsulfonium cation → good thermal stability and stable photoresist performance 2. Cationic Photocuring Systems Used in UV-induced cationic curing of epoxy resins and vinyl ether systems UV irradiation → acid generation → initiates cationic ring-opening polymerization or crosslinking Applications include: UV-curable coatings and inks Electronic encapsulation materials Photo-patternable insulating layers (e.g., PSPI, PI) |
