Abstract

The two stabilizers are matched for use, so that the polishing solution has improved stability in POU, and particle agglomeration caused by poor stability is reduced, so that the surface quality of the polished surface is greatly improved.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chemical mechanical polishing, in particular to a tungsten polishing solution with improved POU service life and application thereof.
Background
With the gradual reduction of the size of semiconductor devices and the continuous increase of the number of metal layers, the planarization technology of the metal layers and the insulating dielectric layers becomes particularly critical. The planarization technology mainly comprises SOG (spin on glass) back etching, BPSG reflow, spin coating film layer, chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) and the like, wherein the CMP technology initiated by IBM corporation in the twentieth century 80 is widely applied as an effective method for global planarization.
In Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP), the upper surface of a substrate is in direct contact with a polishing pad and is rotated relative to the polishing pad under pressure, while an abrasive-containing mixture (commonly referred to as a polishing liquid) is applied to the surface of the polishing pad, and planarization of the substrate surface is accomplished by chemical etching of the polishing liquid and mechanical action of the abrasive.
It is known that in the polishing process of metal layers, a Metal Oxide (MO) having a relatively small hardness is usually formed on the metal surface by an oxidizing agent x ) The oxide layer is then mechanically removed by the abrasive action of the abrasive, producing a new metal surface that continues to be oxidized, and the process is repeated until polishing is complete.
Tungsten, which is one of the Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) targets, has strong electromigration resistance at high current density, excellent hole filling capability, and can form good ohmic contact with silicon, so it can be used as a filling metal and diffusion barrier layer of contact windows and vias.
The existing chemical mechanical polishing method of tungsten mainly comprises the steps of oxidizing the surface of tungsten metal through Fenton reaction, as shown in formulas (1), (2) and (3), and removing a soft oxide film through mechanical grinding. U.S. patent No. 2002019128, japanese patent No. JP2001148360, etc. disclose a polishing composition comprising ferric nitrate as a catalyst and hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, which can greatly reduce the amount of ferric nitrate and at the same time avoid the formation of highly toxic substances by decomposition of potassium ferricyanide, as compared to the use of potassium ferricyanide and ferric nitrate as oxidizing agents in patent No. 6375552 and patent No. 5993686.
H 2 O 2 +Fe 3+ ＝Fe 2+ +O 2 +2H + (1)
Fe 3+ +H 2 O 2 ＝Fe 2+ +OH - +OH· (2)
6OH·+W+6H + ＝3H 2 O+WO 3 (3)
However, the use of Fenton's reagent still faces the problem of POU stability, namely, after hydrogen peroxide is added into the tungsten polishing solution at the point of use (POU), the hydrogen peroxide is rapidly decomposed along with the Fenton's reaction, and meanwhile Fe 3+ Forming multimers, guidesSo that large particles of the polishing solution appear and the POU service life is reduced. U.S. patent No. 7887715 changes the form of catalyst Fe present in the Fenton's reagent and avoids free Fe in solution by doping Fe nanoparticles into the abrasive 3+ To minimize Fe 3+ Impact on abrasive stability. However, the method has the advantages that the stabilizer is not used, the Fe nano particles catalyze hydrogen peroxide to be continuously decomposed, and the polishing solution POU has short service life.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,3779 and 37,35 both propose the addition of stabilizers to improve the stability of the slurry, the primary function of the stabilizers being to react with Fe 3+ Complexing and shielding Fe 3+ Adverse effect on silica abrasive stability. However, when hydrogen peroxide is added into the POU, the effect of the single stabilizer is greatly weakened, and the service life of the POU is hardly prolonged by simply relying on the stabilizer in the patent.
Therefore, a new tungsten chemical mechanical polishing solution is needed, so that the service life of the POU can be improved, the use of a client is more flexible and convenient, and meanwhile, particle agglomeration caused by poor stability is reduced, so that the surface quality of a polished surface is greatly improved.

Table 1 polishing liquid composition tables (containing no stabilizer) of comparative examples 1 to 5 and examples 1 to 10
Table 2 stabilizer composition tables of comparative examples 1 to 5 and examples 1 to 10
To verify the POU stability of the polishing solutions of the present invention, comparative examples 1 to 5, examples 1 to 10 were subjected to study comparison. After preparing the polishing solutions according to tables 1 and 2, the initial particle size was measured using a particle sizer of Malvern Panalytical (Malvern, UK), and the particle size of the polishing solution was again measured after storage at 40℃for 1 week and 2 weeks, respectively, and the results are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 POU particle size variation for comparative examples and examples
| Polishing liquid | Primary particle size nm | Particle size nm after 1 week | Particle size nm after 2 weeks |
| Comparative example 1 | 71.81 | 74.92 | 92.92 |
| Comparative example 2 | 120.36 | 124.8 | 172.1 |
| Comparative example 3 | 80.54 | 83.25 | 121.7 |
| Comparative example 4 | 71.29 | 72.89 | 71.78 |
| Comparative example 5 | 41.61 | 41.18 | 72.46 |
| Example 1 | 40.12 | 40.85 | 41.59 |
| Example 2 | 39.52 | 40.67 | 40.98 |
| Example 3 | 71.26 | 71.87 | 72.10 |
| Example 4 | 119.3 | 119.7 | 120.5 |
| Example 5 | 79.46 | 80.32 | 80.29 |
| Example 6 | 71.26 | 71.84 | 72.07 |
| Example 7 | 72.08 | 72.36 | 72.89 |
| Example 8 | 71.69 | 71.92 | 72.56 |
| Example 9 | 71.82 | 72.37 | 73.02 |
| Example 10 | 70.94 | 71.57 | 72.03 |
The results in Table 3 show that the average particle size of the abrasive particles changed within 2nm (no substantial change is considered due to the measurement error) after the polishing solutions of comparative examples 4-5 and examples 1-10 were stored at 40℃for 2 weeks, whereas the particle size of comparative examples 1-3 changed significantly, which means that the POU life was at least doubled, the abrasive agglomerates were greatly reduced, and the stability was greatly improved after the addition of the second stabilizer.
To verify the polishing effect of the polishing solutions of the present invention, the polishing solutions of comparative examples 1 to 5 and examples 1 to 10 were prepared in three portions, and polishing and detection of irregularities were performed at the initial stage of preparation, after 1 week of preparation, and after 2 weeks of preparation (at room temperature of 25 ℃), respectively. The polishing conditions were as follows: the polishing machine table is 12' reflexion LK, the polishing pad is IC1010, the polishing pressure is 4.0psi, the rotation speed of the polishing head and the polishing disk is 93/87rpm, the flow rate of the polishing liquid is 200mL/min, and the polishing time is 60s.
The conductivity of the tungsten wafer is measured by four-probe conductivity meters before and after polishing, so that the thickness of the tungsten wafer is calculated, and the tungsten polishing rate is obtained by dividing the difference between the thickness of the tungsten wafer before and after polishing by the polishing time. A Bruker Dektak XTL steppers was used to test non-uniformity (NU) of polished tungsten wafers.
Table 4 polishing effects of comparative examples 1 to 5 and examples 1 to 10
As shown in Table 4, the polishing rate of the examples was slightly lower than that of comparative examples 1 to 3, but still within the industrially acceptable range, because the polishing quality was more important for the polishing liquid, the polishing quality was greatly improved; whereas in comparative examples 4 to 5, the polishing rate was too small due to the close combination of the second stabilizer with the Fe catalyst. The polishing rates of the examples after 1 and 2 weeks of placement were not significantly different from the new formulation, while the polishing rates of comparative examples 1-3 after 1 week of placement were significantly increased, probably due to the fact that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide did not have a significant effect on the chemistry and the increase in the large particle abrasive in the polishing liquid resulted in an increase in mechanical friction. Meanwhile, the polishing rate of comparative examples 1 to 3 was significantly lowered after 2 weeks of standing because hydrogen peroxide was decomposed in large amounts, resulting in insufficient chemical action in polishing. Correspondingly, the unevenness (NU) in the comparative polishing increased significantly with time, probably due to the increased probability of scratching the tungsten surface being polished after the agglomeration of the abrasive, resulting in a significantly decreased surface quality, while the examples maintained excellent surface polishing quality over a 2-week standing period.
In conclusion, when the tungsten polishing solution is applied to the chemical mechanical polishing of the tungsten-containing wafer, the tungsten polishing solution has the advantages of long POU service life and high polishing evenness, can be stored for a long time after hydrogen peroxide is added, and has higher commercial value.
