Description

Chemical mechanical polishing solution for tungsten polishing
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of chemical reagents for semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a chemical mechanical polishing solution for tungsten polishing.
Background
Nowadays, rapid development of semiconductor technology has enabled high miniaturization of devices. Hundreds of millions of functional elements are often supported on an integrated circuit substrate. These elements form an interconnect structure through the conductive layer and the multilayer interconnection. Planarization techniques for the conductive and dielectric layers become 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 consists of chemical action, mechanical action and a combination of the two actions. Typically, the wafer is held on a polishing head and its front surface is brought into contact with a polishing pad in a CMP apparatus. Under certain pressure, the grinding head moves linearly on the polishing pad or rotates along the same motion direction as the grinding table. At the same time, a polishing composition ("slurry") is injected between the wafer and the polishing pad at a flow rate that is centrifugally spread across the polishing pad. Thus, the wafer surface is polished and globally planarized under the dual action of chemical and mechanical action. CMP can be used to remove unwanted surface topography and surface defects such as rough surfaces, adsorbed impurities, lattice damage, scratches, and the like.
In recent years, semiconductor manufacturing has increasingly used metallic tungsten to make metal via plugs and contacts while using bonding layers, such as TiN and Ti, to connect them to SiO 2. It is generally desirable to process the tungsten deposition layer using a CMP process to obtain a flat, defect-free surface. Unfortunately, however, the oxidizing agent in the tungsten polishing solution can cause corrosion of the metal, which in most cases is undesirable. It may cause surface defects such as pitting and perforation. Severe metal corrosion can form very deep tungsten vias and ultimately affect the performance characteristics of the semiconductor device.
In recent years, the development of inhibitors of tungsten corrosion has been the focus of developing polishing compositions. Early solutions, such as US 6136711, used amino acids as tungsten polishing corrosion inhibitors. Amino acid corrosion inhibitors have a modest inhibitory effect in many systems and are used in large amounts, often severely inhibiting polishing rates, and have been difficult to accommodate a wide variety of tungsten polishing requirements. In recent years, small molecule organic compounds containing multiple heteroatoms and polymers can often serve as corrosion inhibitors of tungsten, for example, U.S. Pat. No. US10286518B2 finds that thiol alkoxy compounds can inhibit tungsten corrosion and reduce corrosion, butterfly defects and other problems during polishing, but the thiol alkoxy compounds have limited inhibition capability and cannot well solve serious corrosion problems. Also, as disclosed in chinese patent CN 111094481a, polyamino acids are used as tungsten corrosion inhibitors, which are effective in inhibiting tungsten corrosion, but affect polishing rate. As can be seen from the above facts, it is urgent and necessary to develop a tungsten corrosion inhibitor that inhibits corrosion with high efficiency without having a significant influence on the polishing rate.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that:
the invention provides a chemical mechanical polishing composition which can remarkably reduce the static corrosion rate of tungsten while ensuring good polishing rate of the tungsten. In the present technology, the mechanism of corrosion inhibition can be explained as: the corrosion inhibitor has three nitrogen atoms, is respectively positioned on a quinoline ring and an aliphatic chain, and can produce a plurality of R at the pH of 2-44And the N + (R is a carbon atom or hydrogen) structures form a riveting group, and the riveting group and the tungsten metal surface with negative charges are adsorbed to further protect the metal surface. Meanwhile, the corrosion inhibitor is a small molecular compound, so thatThe polishing speed of tungsten is not greatly influenced under a certain concentration.
Detailed Description
The advantages of the invention are further illustrated below with reference to specific examples.
According to the formulation given in table 1, all the components were dissolved and mixed uniformly, the mass percentage was made up to 100% with water, and the pH was adjusted to the desired value with a pH adjuster. Polishing liquids of examples 1 to 9 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were obtained. All of the reagents of the invention are commercially available.
TABLE 1 formulations of examples 1-14 and comparative examples 1-8

Figure RE-GDA0002994258060000051
Figure RE-GDA0002994258060000061
The polishing solutions prepared by mixing the formulations in table 1 were subjected to a polishing rate test experiment and a static corrosion test of tungsten according to the following experimental conditions, and the obtained experimental results are shown in table 2.
The specific polishing conditions are as follows: pressure 2.0psi, rotation speed of the polishing disk and the polishing head 93/87rpm, polishing pad IC1010, flow rate of the polishing solution 150ml/min, polishing bench 12' Reflexion LK, and polishing time 1 min.
Static corrosion testing of tungsten: a tungsten wafer of about 3cm x 3cm was immersed in the preheated 45 c polishing slurry for 2min, taken out of the rinse and tested for static etch data using a four point probe method.
TABLE 2 polishing Rate and static Corrosion test results for examples 1-10 and comparative examples 1-8
Figure RE-GDA0002994258060000062
Figure RE-GDA0002994258060000071
As can be seen from the combination of tables 1 and 2, the CMP slurries of examples 1 to 10 can polish tungsten at a high rate while having a moderate polishing rate for silicon oxide. Importantly, the polishing composition can exhibit a very low static corrosion rate for metals in the presence of the corrosion inhibitor chloroquine phosphate. Also, as can be seen from the experimental results of examples 1 to 10, particularly when the preferred chloroquine phosphate is used as a corrosion inhibitor, it was found that the corrosion-inhibiting effect of the polishing liquid on tungsten is gradually improved as the amount of the corrosion inhibitor is increased. Preferably, the static corrosion can be reduced to 3A/min and below, even 0, in the presence of 0.05% and above of chloroquine phosphate. However, it is also noted that when the amount of chloroquine phosphate exceeds a certain limit, although the static etch rate of tungsten can be further reduced, a large pressing effect is produced on the tungsten polishing rate (examples 4 to 6), but there is no influence on the polishing rate of silicon oxide.
By comparing comparative example 1 with examples 1 to 4, it was found that the static corrosion of tungsten can be effectively inhibited by adding the chloroquine phosphate corrosion inhibitor on the basis of the same components and contents of the abrasive grains, catalyst, stabilizer, oxidizing agent and pH (the static corrosion rate of tungsten is 133A/min compared with comparative example 1, and the static corrosion of tungsten is reduced to the point where the chloroquine phosphate corrosion inhibitor is added
Figure RE-GDA0002994258060000072
Hereinafter, the static corrosion rate of tungsten can be reduced even to nearly 0) by adjusting the amount of chloroquine phosphate corrosion inhibitor used.
By comparing comparative examples 3 to 4 with examples 2 and 4, it was found that a fragment compound of chloroquine phosphate, such as quinoline, does not exert a corrosion-inhibiting effect.
It was found by comparing comparative examples 5 to 6 with examples 2 and 4 that a compound having a tertiary amine structure similar to the aliphatic chain terminal of chloroquine phosphate, such as triethylamine, did not exert an effect of suppressing corrosion.
By comparing comparative examples 7 to 8 with examples 2 and 4, it was found that a compound having a structure similar to that of chloroquine phosphate aliphatic chain diamine, such as 1, 6-hexanediamine, does not inhibit corrosion but rather aggravates corrosion of tungsten.
In comparison of comparative examples 1 to 4 and example 2, it was found that the corrosion-inhibiting effect of chloroquine phosphate is due to the synergistic effect of the multiple functional groups therein, and that neither compounds containing either only a part thereof or functional groups similar thereto can achieve the corrosion-inhibiting effect on tungsten materials.
It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, and not by way of limitation, and that those skilled in the art can make modifications and variations of the embodiments described above without departing from the spirit of the invention.
