The invention provides a purification method of a high-purity electronic-grade
photoacid generator derived from (4, 7-dihydroxy-1-naphthyl) dimethyl
sulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate. The problem that photo-acid cannot be purified by traditional recrystallization or directly through an
ion exchange column and the like is solved, and the electronic grade standard is achieved. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly synthesizing (4, 8-dihydroxy-1-naphthyl) dimethyl
sulfonium hydrochloride, then reacting with
sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate to generate a crude product (4, 7-dihydroxy-1-naphthyl) dimethyl
sulfonium trifluoromethanesulfonate, removing impurities from
ethyl acetate, recrystallizing by using
methanol and
dichloromethane to obtain a pure product, and finally adsorbing by using resin to obtain the high-purity electronic-grade
photoacid generator. According to the invention, the stability is high, the
metal ion content is low, the purification process is convenient to process, the product is used as a
photoresist-level core main material, the product is widely applied in the fields of
semiconductor photoresist, other imaging systems, photocureable coatings and the like, the market scale is continuously expanded, and the product is an indispensable key material in
semiconductor manufacturing and other related fields.
