Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to silica sol for chemical mechanical polishing and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of nano materials.
Background
Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is one of the most advanced planarization techniques at present, and is an essential polishing process in semiconductor manufacturing. The basic principle of the CMP process is that a polishing workpiece rotates relative to a polishing pad under certain pressure and the existence of polishing liquid, in the process, an oxidizing agent in the polishing liquid existing between the surface of the workpiece and the polishing pad chemically reacts with the surface material of the workpiece to generate a layer of chemical reaction film on the surface of the workpiece, then the layer of chemical reaction film is removed by abrasive in the polishing liquid and the polishing pad through mechanical grinding, so that the surface of the workpiece is exposed again, and finally, effective removal and good surface quality are realized in the alternate process of chemical reaction and mechanical grinding.
Under the well-defined conditions of the polishing machine and the workpiece to be polished, the polishing liquid and the polishing conditions become major factors that greatly affect the polishing result, wherein the polishing liquid is a decisive factor that affects the CMP performance. The polishing solution consists of abrasive, soluble chemical substances (oxidant, pH regulator, dispersant and the like) and an aqueous medium, wherein the abrasive is the main component of the polishing solution and directly influences the surface quality and the material removal rate, so that the hardness, the particle size, the morphology and the uniformity of the abrasive have great influence on the quality of a workpiece after CMP.
The common abrasive in the chemical mechanical polishing solution is silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide and cerium oxide, the aluminum oxide has higher hardness, is easy to agglomerate and has poor dispersibility, and the common abrasive is usually used for materials with higher hardness, such as silicon carbide; the cerium oxide has moderate hardness, and because cerium has multiple valence states and different valence states are easy to convert, substances on the surface of the glass are easy to oxidize or complex, the cerium oxide is widely applied to chemical mechanical polishing of mobile phone screens, optical glass and the like. Silica sol is a dispersion of nano-sized silica particles in water or a solvent, and since silica sol has good dispersibility and stability, polishing solutions composed of silica sol have been widely used in semiconductor polishing.
Researches find that the spherical silicon dioxide polishing solution with small particle size and uniform distribution can reduce polishing scratches and better meet the requirement of CMP abrasive on the surface of a high-quality wafer. The production method of the silica sol commonly used in industry is an ion exchange method, however, the preparation process of the method is complex, the reaction time is long, the uniformity of the synthesized silicon dioxide is poor, and the requirement of CMP fine polishing cannot be met. In addition, a surfactant is required to be added as a template and an additive in the preparation of the existing silica sol, otherwise, the uniformity and the stability of the obtained silica sol are poor, but the environmental protection property of the silica sol is poor due to the use of the surfactant.
Therefore, there is a need for an improved CMP abrasive material by a simple preparation process, a short reaction time, and a silica sol having uniform particle size distribution, small and uniform particle size, which is environmentally friendly. The invention is therefore set forth.
