ULSI介质CMP用大粒径硅溶胶纳米研磨料的合成及应用研究

针对超大规模集成电路多层互连结构中介质CMP抛光速率低,急需的大粒径硅溶胶研磨料,本文采用改进的粒径生长控制工艺制备介质CMP用大粒径硅溶胶,并采用TEM、激光粒度分析仪和Zeta电位测试仪等先进手段对其粒径大小、粒径分布和稳定性进行了表征。以低分散度硅溶胶纳米研磨料配制抛光浆料进行了二氧化硅介质的CMP研究,结果表明,平均粒径103．4nm的硅溶胶浆料的去除速率达630nm／min,有效解决了二氧化硅介质CMP低速率的难题。     

ULSI硅衬底的化学机械抛光

在分析UL SI中硅衬底CMP的动力学过程基础上,提出了在机械研磨去除产物过程中,适当增强化学作用可显著改善产物的质量传输过程,从而提高抛光效率.在对不同粒径分散度的硅溶胶抛光液进行比较后提出了参与机械研磨的有效粒子数才是机械研磨过程的重要因素,而不是单纯受粒径大小的影响.分析和讨论了CMP工艺中的几个影响因素,如粒径大小与分散度、p H值、温度、流量和浓度等.采用含表面活性剂和螯合剂的清洗液进行抛光后清洗,表面颗粒数优于国际SEMI标准,抛光雾得到了有效控制     

Influence of oxides on friction during Cu CMP

In this work, we investigated the frictional behavior of copper CMP. Using a laboratory polishing set up, we polished Cu with designed polishing media. After that the copper surface and the fumed silica particles Cu were analyzed. The surface analysis techniques used are the field emission SEM, the field-emission high-resolution analytical TEM, x-ray spectroscopy, and XPS. We found evident difference in friction value using different polishing media. Discussions lead to three mechanisms during copper CMP. The nature of copper oxides has a profound influence on friction and might be directly related to defects. Argonne National Laboratory
