Description

Chemical mechanical polishing solution
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of chemical mechanical polishing, in particular to a chemical mechanical polishing solution.
Background
Modern semiconductor technology enables highly miniaturized devices. Hundreds of millions of devices may be integrated on an integrated circuit silicon substrate. These elements form an interconnect structure through wires and multilayer interconnects. Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), electrochemical plating (ECP), and the like are employed for the preparation of thin layers of these materials. As layers of material are deposited and removed, the uppermost surface of the wafer becomes uneven. These non-uniformities may lead to various defects in the product, and therefore the planarization techniques of the conductive layer and the insulating dielectric layer become critical. In the twentieth century, the Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) technology originated by IBM corporation was considered the most effective method of global planarization at present. Chemical mechanical polishing consists of a combination of chemical action, mechanical action, and both actions. Typically, the wafer is mounted on a polishing head and its front surface is brought into contact with a polishing pad in a CMP apparatus. The polishing head moves linearly over the polishing pad or rotates in the same direction of motion as the polishing platen under pressure. At the same time, a polishing composition ("slurry") is injected at a flow rate between the wafer and the polishing pad, and the slurry spreads on the polishing pad by centrifugation. Thus, the wafer surface is polished and global planarization is achieved under both chemical and mechanical actions. CMP can be used to remove unwanted surface topography and surface defects such as rough surfaces, adsorbed impurities, lattice damage, scratches, etc.
CMP techniques have become the method of choice for achieving tungsten interconnects in semiconductor fabrication processes. Tungsten is often used in integrated circuit design for contact/via. Tungsten is a hard metal and is chemically inert, which presents challenges for tungsten CMP. Many CMP slurries used to polish tungsten cause erosion and dishing problems due to their corrosiveness. In severe cases, cavities in the dielectric layer are caused, which affect the electrical properties. Accordingly, there is a need for a CMP polishing method and composition for tungsten that inhibits corrosion of tungsten wafers, as well as erosion of tungsten pits and wire arrays.
Development of a novel tungsten polishing liquid that minimizes dishing and maximizes planarization efficiency is one of the approaches to solve the above-described problems. As disclosed in U.S. patent No. 6,372,648 Bl, surface modification of oxide abrasives to adjust the selectivity between removal of different materials helps to produce excellent surface topography (e.g., reduced erosion, dishing, and protrusions) after polishing and stabilizes the abrasive particles in the slurry. Today, integrated circuit fabrication is becoming more complex and higher demands are being placed on the polishing liquid. The existing compounds that help maintain surface morphology are difficult to adapt to the wide variety of tungsten polishing requirements while protecting complex and diverse types of surface erosion and dishing. Therefore, for tungsten polishing solutions, it is important to develop abrasives with minimized dishing, flattest surface topography.

Detailed Description
Advantages of the invention are further illustrated below in connection with specific embodiments.
Examples and comparative examples all components were dissolved and mixed uniformly according to the formulation given in table 1, with water to make up to 100% by mass. The pH is adjusted to the desired value with a pH adjustor. Wherein, the grinding particles use silicon dioxide, the mass percentage concentration is 3.0%, the oxidant uses hydrogen peroxide, the mass percentage is 2%, the corrosion inhibitor is glycine, and the mass percentage is 0.05%. The pH adjuster used was nitric acid.
TABLE 1 Components and contents of examples 1 to 12 and comparative examples 1 to 3
In order to further express the polishing effect of the chemical mechanical polishing liquid in the present invention, a polishing test was performed.
Specific polishing objects:
Silicon dioxide material (12 "PETEOS 30 k); tungsten material (12 "W6 k); patterned test piece (Silyb BEOLPatterned W/Oxide PATTERNED WAFER).
Specific polishing conditions:
The pressure was 4.8 psi, the polishing disk and head rotational speed was 90/91rpm, the polishing pad JFKC, the polishing liquid flow rate was 100ml/min, and the polishing table was 12 "Ebara".
The specific test results are shown in table 2. Wherein Dishing (dishing) and erosion were measured at 0.15um/0.15um tungsten and silicon dioxide pitch line areas. Dishing taking the height difference from the silicon dioxide outside the line region to the silicon dioxide inside the line region; erosion the height difference from silicon dioxide in the line region to tungsten in the line region.
TABLE 2 polishing test results for examples 1-15 and comparative examples 1-4
Examples 1-12 demonstrate that the chemical mechanical polishing solutions of the present invention can polish tungsten at high rates while also having a moderate polishing rate for silicon oxide. Importantly, the morphology difference of the polished tungsten surface is obviously reduced after the surface modification of the oxide abrasive. For the preferred hydrocarbon functions (see examples 3, 11-12), it was found that as the proportion of surface modified functions increased, the topography differences of the tungsten surface after polishing also improved. Comparison of comparative example 1 and example 12 shows that the difference in surface morphology after polishing can be reduced by 40% at a concentration of 0.6% for the hexyl-functional modified silica particles. Wherein the dishing can be reduced by 45% and erosion% can be reduced by 35%. It should be noted that modification of silica particles by hexyl functionality reduces the polishing rate of silica (see examples 3, 11, 12), but the effect of the modified abrasive particles on the polishing rate of silica does not vary with the concentration of the hexyl modification. At the same time, the modification of the silica particles by the hexyl functionality has substantially no effect on the polishing rate of tungsten.
Comparison of comparative example 1 and examples 1-3 shows that after three different organic functional groups are modified on silica abrasive particles based on the same catalyst, stabilizer, oxidizer and pH, the uneven results of dishing and convexity of tungsten surface after polishing (relative to comparative example 1Surface unevenness of tungsten, after modification of silicon oxide particles, is reduced to)。
Comparison of comparative example 1 and examples 3-6 shows that the hydrocarbon chain length of the modified functional group and the modified silica particles have a decisive influence on the morphology difference of the polished tungsten surface. The structural area of the larger modified functional group can effectively reduce the unevenness of the tungsten surface after polishing.
The comparison of comparative examples 1-3 and examples 3-6 shows that the uncharged functional group modified silica particles do not significantly alter the removal rate of tungsten or silica by the abrasive and have some improvement in surface irregularities caused during the removal process.
In the invention, the organic hydrocarbon compound on the surface of the grinding particle replaces the hydroxyl group on the surface of the oxide grinding particle, and the inert soft organic hydrocarbon compound reduces the chemical acting force such as hydrogen bond between the grinding material and tungsten, and reduces the concave and convex of the tungsten surface after polishing caused by the chemical force. Meanwhile, the functional group has small molecular weight compared with the oxide particles, so that the effect on the polishing rate of tungsten is not obvious at a certain concentration.
The above description of the specific embodiments of the present invention has been given by way of example only, and the present invention is not limited to the above described specific embodiments. Any equivalent modifications and substitutions for the present invention will occur to those skilled in the art, and are also within the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, equivalent changes and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
