Global Photo Acid Generator (PAG) Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

A Photo Acid Generator (PAG) is a chemical compound designed to generate acid upon exposure to light, typically ultraviolet (UV) light. PAGs play a crucial role in photolithography and photochemical processes, particularly in the semiconductor and microelectronics industries. In photolithography, PAGs are often incorporated into photoresists, which are light-sensitive materials used to create patterns on semiconductor wafers. When exposed to UV light, the PAG absorbs the energy and undergoes a chemical reaction, releasing acid. This acid then catalyzes the transformation of the photoresist, leading to the selective removal of material during subsequent processing steps. PAGs enable high-resolution patterning in the fabrication of integrated circuits and other microelectronic devices. Their use has contributed to advancements in semiconductor technology, allowing for the production of smaller and more complex electronic components.
