Provided are: a new sulfonium salt highly photosensitive to active energy ray, in particular, i-line or h-line; and a new photoacid generator which is highly photosensitive to i-line or h-line, and comprises a sulfonium salt that is highly soluble in a solvent and a cationically polymerizable compound such as an epoxy compound, and has excellent storage stability in the formulation. The present invention pertains to a sulfonium salt represented by general formula (1), and a photoacid generator comprising said sulfonium salt.

Sulfonium salt, photoacid generator, curable composition, and resist composition

A negative photosensitive resin composition containing an epoxy group-containing resin and a cationic polymerization initiator which includes a sulfonium salt represented by General Formula (I0). In Formula (I0), R1 and R2 represent an aryl group, a heterocyclic hydrocarbon group, or an alkyl group. R3 to R5 are an alkyl group, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an alkylcarbonyl group, an arylcarbonyl group, an acyloxy group, an arylthio group, an alkylthio group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic hydrocarbon group, an aryloxy group, a hydroxy(poly)alkyleneoxy group, or a halogen atom. k is an integer of 0 to 4, m is an integer of 0 to 3, and n is an integer of 1 to 4. A is a group represented by —S—, —O—, —SO—, —SO—, or —CO— Xrepresents a monovalent polyatomic anion.

Negative photosensitive resin composition, pattern formation method, and laminated film

Provided are a novel sulfonium salt having high photosensitivity to g-rays or h-rays; a novel photoacid generator containing a sulfonium salt that has high photosensitivity to g-rays or h-rays, has high solubility in solvents and cationically polymerizable compounds such as epoxy compounds, and has an excellent storage stability in compositions containing the cationically polymerizable compounds; and the like. The present invention relates to a sulfonium salt represented by the formula (1), a photoacid generator containing the sulfonium salt, and the like.

Sulfonium salt, photoacid generator, curable composition and resist composition

The sulfonium salt has high photosensitivity to i-rays and high compatibility with cationically polymerizable compounds such as epoxy compounds, and is excellent storage stability in formulations containing such compounds. The sulfonium salt is represented by general formula (1). In formula (1), R represents an alkyl group or an aryl group; substituents, R1 to R5, each independently represent an alkyl group, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an aryloxy group, a hydroxy(poly)alkyleneoxy group, or a halogen atom; R6 to R9 each independently represent an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a hydrogen atom; mto meach represent the number of occurrences of each of R1 to R5, mand mrepresent an integer of 0 to 3, mand mrepresent an integer of 0 to 4, mrepresents an integer of 0 to 5, and Xrepresents a monovalent polyatomic anion.
