Description

Chemical mechanical polishing solution and use method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of chemical mechanical polishing solution.
Background
With the continuous development of semiconductor technology and the continuous increase of interconnect layers of large-scale integrated circuits, the planarization technology of the conductive layer and the insulating dielectric layer becomes more critical. In the 80's of the twentieth century, Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) technology pioneered by IBM corporation was considered the most effective method of global planarization at present. Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) consists of chemical action, mechanical action, and a combination of these two actions. It generally consists of a polishing table with a polishing pad and a polishing head for carrying the chip. Wherein the polishing head holds the chip and then presses the front side of the chip against the polishing pad. When performing chemical mechanical polishing, the polishing head moves linearly over the polishing pad or rotates in the same direction of motion as the polishing table. At the same time, the slurry containing the abrasive is dropped onto the polishing pad and is spread on the polishing pad by centrifugation. The chip surface is globally planarized under the dual actions of mechanical and chemical.
The amorphous carbon as a new generation of wide band gap semiconductor material has the characteristics of wide band gap, high thermal conductivity, high critical breakdown electric field, high electron saturation migration rate, high chemical stability and the like, and has great application potential in the aspects of high-temperature, high-frequency, high-power and high-density integrated electronic devices and the like. However, the carbon-containing material is very stable at normal temperature, is not easy to generate chemical reaction, and has good tolerance to mechanical grinding, so that the commonly used chemical mechanical polishing solution is difficult to obtain higher polishing speed when the carbon-containing material is polished.
It is generally necessary to remove the carbonaceous material after oxidation with an oxidizing agent. The common oxidant is hydrogen peroxide, but the oxidation capacity of the hydrogen peroxide is weak, so that an ideal removal rate cannot be obtained. CN102464944A strong oxidizing agents such as permanganic acid, manganic acid and salts thereof are added into the polishing solution to improve the chemical mechanical polishing rate of the carbon-containing material. In the process of polishing carbon-containing materials by using permanganate, manganic acid and salts thereof as oxidants, the permanganate, manganic acid and other oxidants are reduced to inevitably generate byproducts with dark colors and are easy to deposit on the surface and holes of the polishing pad, so that the polishing byproducts are accumulated on the polishing pad, the service life of the polishing pad is influenced, and the defects on the polished surface are increased. In addition, conventional strong oxidizers are generally incapable of polishing amorphous carbon materials.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a chemical mechanical polishing solution, in which cerium oxide is used as polishing particles and cerium sulfate is used in combination, so that not only the polishing rate of an amorphous carbon material can be increased, but also the stability of the polishing solution can be improved.
Specifically, the invention provides a chemical mechanical polishing solution, which comprises cerium oxide, cerium sulfate and a pH regulator.
In the invention, the pH regulator is selected from one or more of potassium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.
In the invention, the mass percentage concentration of the cerium oxide is 0.1-1%.
In the invention, the mass percentage concentration of the cerium sulfate is 0.8-6.5%; preferably, the mass percentage concentration of the cerium sulfate is 0.8-2%.
In the invention, the pH value of the chemical mechanical polishing solution is 0.6-1.3.
In another aspect of the invention, a method for using the chemical mechanical polishing solution is provided, and any of the polishing solutions is used for chemical mechanical polishing of amorphous carbon materials.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: in the chemical mechanical polishing solution, cerium oxide abrasive particles and cerium sulfate within a certain content range are simultaneously added, and the polishing rate of the chemical mechanical polishing solution to the amorphous carbon material can be enhanced and stabilized by utilizing the compounding effect of the cerium oxide abrasive particles and the cerium sulfate.
Detailed Description
The advantages of the invention are explained in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
The components are uniformly mixed according to the content in the table 1, and the polishing solution is adjusted to a target pH value by using a potassium hydroxide solution or a sulfuric acid solution, so that the corresponding chemical mechanical polishing solution can be prepared.
Polishing test is carried out on the amorphous carbon material with the square shape of 4 multiplied by 4cm by adopting a Logitech IPM52 polishing machine table, and the corresponding polishing conditions comprise: the IC1010 polishing pad, Platen and Carrier were rotated at 93rpm and 87rpm, respectively, at a pressure of 2.5psi, and at a slurry flow rate of 100 mL/min. The amorphous carbon material film thickness was measured with a NanoSpec film thickness measuring system (NanoSpec6100-300, Shanghai NanoSpec Technology Corporation). The thickness of the blank film was measured from the center of 4X 4cm square amorphous carbon material at 9 points on the diameter line at 0 degree, 90 degree and 180 degree 270 degree angles and at center distances of 1cm and 2cm, respectively. The polishing rate is an average of the 9 points.
The specific components and component contents of the polishing solutions of comparative examples 1 to 12 and examples 1 to 8, the pH values of the polishing solutions, and the polishing rates of the polishing solutions to the amorphous carbon material after the polishing solutions were prepared for 5min, 24h, and 72h are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 Components, component contents, pH values and polishing rates of the chemical mechanical polishing solutions of comparative examples 1 to 12 and examples 1 to 8.
Figure BDA0002346766100000021
Figure BDA0002346766100000031
Comparing the polishing rates of the polishing solutions of comparative examples 1 to 3 to amorphous carbon, it can be seen that, when the polishing solution does not contain abrasive particles, the polishing rate of the ammonium ceric nitrate solution is much greater than that of the cerium sulfate solution, and the ammonium ceric sulfate solution has no polishing effect on the amorphous carbon material; as can be seen from the data of comparative examples 1 and 2, the CMP slurry containing only ammonium cerium nitrate and cerium sulfate showed a significant decrease in polishing rate from 457A/min and 82A/min to 30A/min and 12A/min, respectively, after 72 hours of preparation.
From the polishing data of the polishing solutions of comparative examples 5 and 8 on the amorphous carbon material, it can be seen that the polishing solution only contains cerium oxide or silicon oxide abrasive particles, and has no polishing effect on the amorphous carbon material.
From the polishing data of the polishing solutions of comparative examples 10 and 11 on amorphous carbon, it can be seen that the polishing solutions using cerium oxide as polishing abrasive particles and ammonium persulfate or potassium periodate as oxidizer have no polishing effect on amorphous carbon materials.
From the polishing data of comparative examples 6 and 7 on amorphous carbon, it can be seen that when ammonium cerium nitrate and cerium oxide or silicon oxide abrasive grains are added to the polishing solution at the same time, the polishing rate of the polishing solution is greatly reduced after the polishing solution is prepared for 24 hours.
As can be seen from the above, conventional oxidizing agents such as potassium periodate or ammonium persulfate do not have a polishing effect on amorphous carbon materials; when cerium oxide or cerium salt is added into the polishing solution, the polishing solution has no polishing effect on the amorphous carbon material or has poor stability; when cerium oxide and other cerium salts are added into the polishing solution at the same time, the polishing solution has a high polishing rate to the amorphous carbon material but has poor stability.
As can be seen from the polishing rates of the polishing solutions of comparative example 2 and example 1, the polishing rate of the polishing solution with the simultaneous addition of cerium sulfate and cerium oxide abrasive grains was increased from 82A/min to 106A/min, and the polishing rate of the polishing solution remained at 102A/min after 24 hours, which was stable. From the polishing rates of the polishing solutions of example 1 and comparative example 9, it can be seen that when the abrasive particles added to the polishing solution are silicon oxide, the polishing rate of the corresponding polishing solution to amorphous carbon is low.
Therefore, the cerium oxide abrasive particles and the cerium sulfate are added into the polishing solution simultaneously, so that the polishing rate of the polishing solution to the amorphous carbon material can be improved, and the stability of the polishing solution is enhanced.
Comparing the polishing effects of the polishing solutions of examples 3 and 4 and examples 6 and 7, it can be seen that the higher the content of cerium sulfate, the higher the polishing rate after 5 minutes of the preparation of the corresponding polishing solution; but the polishing rate tends to be consistent with the placement of the polishing solution and is kept within the range of 183- & ltSUB & gt 198A/min. Comparing the polishing effects of the polishing solutions of examples 1 and 3, it can be seen that lowering the pH value without changing the composition of the polishing solution contributes to increasing the polishing rate of amorphous carbon. Comparing the polishing effects of the polishing solutions of examples 4, 5 and 6, it can be seen that the polishing rate of the polishing solution to amorphous carbon is independent of the cerium oxide content, and the polishing rate of the corresponding polishing solution gradually becomes uniform as the standing time is prolonged. Comparing the polishing effects of the polishing solutions of examples 7 and 8, it can be seen that the polishing rate of the polishing solution with cerium sulfate content of 0.8% was increased from 143A/min to 198A/min after 72 hours of the configuration, while the polishing rate of the polishing solution with cerium sulfate content of 0.4% was decreased from 111A/min to 55A/min, which indicates that the polishing rate could not be decreased within 72 hours even when the content of cerium sulfate was 0.4%. From the above, it can be seen that when the polishing solution using the cerium oxide abrasive particles and the cerium sulfate has a mass percentage concentration of 0.2-1% and a mass percentage concentration of 0.8-6.5%, the polishing rate of the amorphous carbon material can be maintained at 155-198A/min for 24-72 hours.
Therefore, the polishing solution has selectivity to the content of cerium salt and cerium oxide abrasive particles, namely cerium sulfate and cerium oxide abrasive particles in a certain content range are added, and the polishing solution has high polishing rate and high stability to the amorphous carbon material through the compounding effect between cerium sulfate and cerium oxide.
In summary, when cerium salt is added to the chemical mechanical polishing solution alone to polish the amorphous carbon, the polishing solution has selectivity to the type of cerium salt, and the polishing rate of the polishing solution to the amorphous carbon material is greatly reduced with the increase of the configuration time; if the cerium oxide abrasive particles are added into the chemical mechanical polishing solution separately, the polishing solution has no polishing effect on the amorphous carbon material. In the chemical mechanical polishing solution, cerium oxide abrasive particles and cerium sulfate within a certain content range are simultaneously added, and the polishing rate of the chemical mechanical polishing solution to the amorphous carbon material can be enhanced and stabilized by utilizing the compounding effect of the cerium oxide abrasive particles and the cerium sulfate.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, but the embodiments are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Any equivalent modifications and substitutions to those skilled in the art are also within the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, equivalent changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
