Description

Tungsten plug chemical mechanical polishing solution for reducing dishing and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chemical mechanical polishing, in particular to tungsten plug chemical mechanical polishing liquid capable of reducing dishing and application thereof.
Background
With the continued development of semiconductor technology and the increasing number of interconnection layers for large scale integrated circuits, the planarization techniques of conductive layers and insulating dielectric layers have become particularly critical. Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) technology, originated by IBM corporation, was considered the most effective method of global planarization at present.
Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) consists of a combination of chemical action, mechanical action, and both 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 surface 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 as the polishing platen. At the same time, slurry containing abrasive is dropped onto the polishing pad and laid flat on the polishing pad by centrifugation. The chip surface is globally planarized under the dual actions of machinery and chemistry.
The main mechanism for Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) of metal layers is believed to be: the oxidizing agent oxidizes the metal surface to form a film, the grinding agent represented by silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide mechanically removes the oxide film, and new metal surface is generated to be oxidized continuously, and the two effects are cooperated.
The method mainly uses tungsten plug as one of Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) targets in chips, wherein the tungsten plug is formed by forming a hole with a depth ratio on the surface of an insulating layer through photoetching, etching and other processes on the insulating layer, then gradually depositing metals such as Ti/TIN, W and the like on the hole through CVD and other processes to form a preliminary tungsten plug structure, and then removing superfluous tungsten on the surface of the insulating layer through a CMP technology, wherein after the superfluous tungsten is removed to a certain extent, the tungsten and the insulating layer are simultaneously subjected to CMP together, the tungsten removal rate is usually far greater than the removal rate of the insulating layer in the process, and the excessive tungsten removal is caused by the large difference of the tungsten removal rates, so that the chips are invalid. Therefore, it is very important how to ensure that the generation of the concave is reduced in the planarization process, and the proper tungsten polishing solution can regulate and control the tungsten removal rate, so that the tungsten removal rate is far greater than the removal rate of the insulating layer, the concave generation is reduced, and the tungsten polishing solution has very important effect on the yield of devices. The prior art such as the CN101600773a patent adopts imidazole substances, but the substances have a protective effect on static etching and have no effect on the regulation of the speed, so the dishing is not assisted by adding the azole substances.
Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the occurrence of dishing during tungsten plug planarization.

In a specific embodiment, the corrosion inhibitor is selected from heterocyclic materials containing nitro groups and containing non-conjugated structures.
In a preferred embodiment, the heterocyclic substance containing a nitro group and a non-conjugated structure is at least any one of 1, 4-dinitroso piperazine and 1-methyl-4-nitrosopiperazine.
In a specific embodiment, the abrasive is colloidal silica, preferably ultra-high purity colloidal silica.
In a preferred embodiment, the colloidal silica is fumed silica having a specific surface area of from 80 to 120m 2 /g; further toPreferably, the fumed silica has a particle size in aqueous solution of from 100 to 180nm.

the dishing-reducing tungsten plug chemical mechanical polishing solution reduces dishing caused by the tungsten plug during polishing by adding the corrosion inhibitor with the specific structure, and effectively improves the yield of WAFER, thereby realizing the application in the semiconductor field, in particular to the chemical mechanical polishing.
The corrosion inhibitor of the present invention is a heterocyclic substance containing a nitro group and containing a non-conjugated structure, and is useful as a corrosion inhibitor mainly because the heterocyclic nitrogen substance containing a nitro group and containing a non-conjugated structure can reduce the removal rate of tungsten plugs mainly due to two factors: the nitro has the reducing performance and reacts with hydroxyl radicals, so that the tungsten plug is reduced to be oxidized into a softer oxide layer, and finally the polishing rate is reduced; the second is that the heterocyclic nitrogen substance has strong protonation capability and positive charges on the surface, and is effectively adsorbed on the surface of tungsten to form a protective layer, so that the chemical reaction of tungsten is inhibited, the generation of pits can be effectively reduced by superposition of the two factors, and the planarization effect is positively promoted.
