Description

Polishing pad, polishing apparatus, and method of manufacturing semiconductor device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of chemical mechanical polishing of semiconductors, and more particularly, to polishing pads, polishing apparatuses, and methods of manufacturing semiconductor devices.
Background
Chemical mechanical planar polishing or Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is currently the most common technique for polishing the surface of a workpiece. CMP is a composite technique obtained by combining chemical attack and mechanical removal, and is also the most commonly used technique for planarization of semiconductor wafers and the like.
Currently, in conventional CMP processes, a wafer is mounted on a carrier assembly of an abrasive apparatus, and the position at which the wafer contacts a polishing pad during polishing is set by adjusting relevant parameters. During polishing, the wafer is pressed against the polishing pad by a controlled pressure, and the polishing pad is rotated in the same or opposite direction as the wafer by an external drive force. In the relative rotation process, the polishing liquid is continuously dripped on the polishing pad, so that the surface of the wafer is subjected to planarization grinding through the mechanical action of the surface of the polishing pad and the chemical action of the polishing liquid, and the polishing of the wafer is realized.
The shape and size of the surface grooves of the polishing pad, which are one of the key parameters determining the performance of the polishing pad, have an important effect on the chemical and mechanical processes of polishing: in the chemical oxidation process, the surface grooves of the polishing pad can influence the transportation and uniform distribution of the polishing liquid, thereby influencing the chemical reaction speed, the product and the concentration thereof; during the mechanical removal process, the surface grooves of the polishing pad change the contact area, friction and film thickness between the polishing pad and the wafer, thereby affecting the mechanical removal rate and processing quality, and also having an important effect on the average residence time of the polishing solution.
During the relative rotation of the polishing pad and the wafer, the polishing rate at each position of the wafer is affected by the grooves on the polishing pad and the distribution of the polishing liquid, which has a problem that whether the flatness of the wafer is satisfied or not. With the increase of integrated circuit integration, the planarization degree of the wafer can directly affect the substrate utilization rate, thereby affecting the process yield of the integrated circuit. Thus, obtaining a wafer with high flatness is one of the problems faced by the integrated circuit manufacturing industry.
For manufacturers of chemical mechanical polishing pads, the polishing rate and wafer surface defects are one of the important indicators for evaluating the performance of the polishing pad, the polishing rate is also an indicator for the production efficiency of polishing the wafer by the polishing pad, and the wafer surface defects are an indicator for evaluating the polishing effect of the polishing pad. Therefore, the basic indexes such as the grinding rate and the surface defects of the wafer are not sacrificed on the basis of improving the grinding flatness of the wafer.

in examples 1-12 and comparative examples 1-4, the polishing pad radius R was 387.35mm and the polishing layer thickness was 2.032mm. The polishing pads of examples 1 to 12 and comparative examples 1 to 4 comprise a polishing layer made of polyurethane obtained by reacting an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer obtained by reacting an isocyanate with a polyol with a mixture of a curing agent and hollow microspheres, and a buffer layer bonded to the polishing pad and made of polyurethane-impregnated nonwoven fabric. The preparation method of the polishing pad comprises the following steps:
(1) Preparing a polishing layer: 23.0 parts by mass of TDI, toluene diisocyanate, 46.3 parts by mass of PTMEG, polytetramethylene ether glycol (molecular weight 701.0), and 30.7 parts by mass of MOCA, 3 '-dichloro-4, 4' -diaminodiphenylmethane were used; the microspheres are manufactured by Akzo Nobel, the trade name of the microspheres is Expancel 551DE40D42, the mass of the microspheres accounts for 1.2% of the total mass of the polishing layer, the materials are added into a casting head, the materials are quickly mixed, the mixing speed is 5000rpm, the materials are cast into a mould to form a cylinder, then the cylinder is sliced to obtain a sheet, and finally the sheet is grooved to obtain the polishing layer with the groove patterns.
(2) And (3) attaching the polishing layer obtained in the step (1) to the buffer layer of the polyurethane-impregnated non-woven fabric to obtain the polishing pad.

Polishing pad evaluation method:
grinding conditions: a silica slurry (SS 25E, manufactured by CABOT corporation) was added as a slurry at a flow rate of 250 ml/min during polishing. The polishing load was set at 3.5 psi, the polishing platen speed was set at 110 rpm, and the wafer speed was set at 108 rpm. In the test, the average polishing rate, the polishing rate non-uniformity, and the number of scratches were measured as an index of the quality characteristics of the polishing pad.
Average grinding rate: under the above conditions, a thermal oxide film having a thickness of 8500 a was deposited on a 12-inch test wafer, the resulting wafer was polished for 1 minute, and the average polishing rate in (a/min) was determined from the abrasion loss.
Polishing rate non-uniformity: the thickness of the polishing object was measured before and after the polishing experiment, respectively. 49 positions were selected in advance on the surface of the polishing object for measurement, and a standard deviation value (STDEV) and an AVERAGE Value (AVERAGE) of the polishing rate at the selected positions were calculated. The polishing rate non-uniformity can be calculated by the following formula (1).
Polishing rate non-uniformity = 100% standard deviation/average formula (1)
