Describe in detail
Have the polishing pad of the ratio of defects of reduction, the method for using this pad and the material that is used to make the CMP polishing pad of ratio of defects in this description with reduction.As mentioned above, CMP relates under the situation that polishing composition (for example slurries) exists, and removes film by polishing pad being pressed to wafer and making these elements rotate relative to one another from the surface of wafer.During polishing, between wafer and pad, form slurry layer, thereby form the hydrodynamic force boundary layer.The fluid layer of keeping homogeneous between pad and the wafer during polishing is very important.Under the situation that is minimized or eliminates fully in the boundary layer, pad can directly contact with wafer, causes causing the two-body interaction of higher ratio of defects.On the contrary, highly smooth interface will allow the polishing of homogeneous more, and ratio of defects is minimized.This is even more important under the situation of copper CMP, and at this moment polished film is very soft and can be scratched (scratch) by direct wafer-pad contact easily.
Conventional polishing pad is formed by polymer (normally urea alkane), has in the structure that is provided for the means of distribute slurry below wafer during the polishing.These structures comprise space or micropore, and as United States Patent (USP) 5,578,362 describedly comprise these spaces or micropore by adding hollow micro unit, or comprise these spaces or micropore by being introduced in the foam that forms during casting is handled.United States Patent (USP) 6,896,593 have described used supercritical CO during processed molding
2Form the hole.
In case formed bed course, just can further carry out machining to increase groove by machinery or laser arm device to its upper surface.For example, United States Patent (USP) 5,489,233 have described the solid plastic plate of the ability that does not have intrinsic absorption or transported slurry and have had the superficial makings of the flow channel of striding the wafer transported slurry and allowing polishing or the use of pattern.Mechanically on pad, produce superficial makings by machining.
During polishing, can use the dish of thin coated with CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond to come adjusting pad, to produce microtexture, so just produced little gutter channel with the distribution of further enhancing slurries below wafer.During polishing wafer was handled, the pad surface also experienced plastic deformation, and this has reduced grout distribution, causes relatively poor material to remove and remove homogeneity.Adjust to handle and removed the plastic deformation layer and recovered polishing performance.
In the routine pad, material self is without any the suitable water of intrinsic absorption or the ability of polishing solution, do not have initiatively to participate in the structure as micropore, groove and little groove that the outside of grout distribution produces.The grout distribution ability is not only very important for removing homogeneity, and also very important for ratio of defects.Under the relatively poor situation of grout distribution between pad and the wafer, direct pad-wafer contact may be caused in the relatively poor zone of the slurries below wafer, causes ratio of defects.
In one embodiment, the invention provides the polymeric polishing pad of ability, thereby the polished surface of extremely low ratio of defects is provided with intrinsic absorption water or polishing solution.Polishing pad of the present invention can be formed by the hydrogel material of the ability with the absorption water in the 5%-60% scope by weight or polishing solution.Water absorbing capacity is controlled between synthesis phase at material.Cushion material with intrinsic absorption water or polishing solution ability will provide smooth surface and the minimizing possibility that direct pad-wafer is contacted during polishing, and then eliminated ratio of defects or ratio of defects is minimized, especially eliminated the scratch defects rate or the scratch defects rate is minimized.Make the method such as the United States Patent (USP) 5,859,166,5,763,682,5,424,338,5,334,691,5,120,816,5,118,779 and 4,008 of hydrophilic urea alkane preparation, 189 is described, quotes each these United States Patent (USP) of a piece of writing as a reference at this.
The cushion material characteristic plays an important role to the ratio of defects that causes on the crystal column surface.Hard pad usually with higher ratio of defects, mainly be that the scratch defects rate is relevant, and softer pad is usually and relevant than hanging down ratio of defects.An importance of cushion is that pad surface local homogeneous is to prevent the ability of " hard contact " between wafer and pad surface.Another aspect of local surfaces homogeneity is to fill up-and the wafer interface keeps the ability at water-based interface.The water-based interface provides the necessary slickness between wafer and the pad, thereby but makes and to cause the energy minimization of cut or to eliminate it.The polymeric material that can absorb water provides highly stable polishing interface, thereby makes the minimizing possibility of ratio of defects.
United States Patent (USP) 5,763,682 have stated many conventional isocyanates class A foam A right and wrong hydrophilic (promptly hydrophobic relatively).Typical urea alkanes foam presents for the abhoing of aqueous fluids, and this causes this kind foam can not absorb or obtain the aqueous fluids of a great deal of.Therefore, can think that typical poly urea alkane foam is not enough to provide highly smooth polishing interface.
Because urea alkane is to form by isocyanates and polyol reaction, the hydrophilic aspect of final polymer chain can be controlled by the selection of polyalcohol.United States Patent (USP) 5,859,166,5,763,682,5,424,338,5,334,691,5,120,816,5,118,779 and 4,008,189 have described the hydrophilic method of improving urea alkane composition.Can make hydrophily poly urea alkane by ethylene oxide unit and epoxyalkane unit are added to the polyalcohol molecule.
