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
With the development of semiconductor technology, electronic components are miniaturized, and millions of transistors are included in an integrated circuit. In the operation process, the conventional aluminum or aluminum alloy interconnection lines are integrated with a huge number of transistors capable of being rapidly switched, so that the signal transmission speed is reduced, and a great amount of energy is consumed in the current transmission process, so that the development of semiconductor technology is hindered to a certain extent. For further development, the use of materials with higher electrical properties instead of aluminum is being sought. Copper is known to have a low resistance and good conductivity, which speeds up the transfer of signals between transistors in the circuit, and also provides less parasitic capacitance capability, and less sensitivity of the circuit to electromigration. These electrical advantages have led to copper having a good development prospect in the development of semiconductor technology.
However, during the fabrication of copper integrated circuits, it has been found that copper migrates or diffuses into the transistor regions of the integrated circuits, thereby adversely affecting the performance of the semiconductor transistors, and that copper interconnects can only be fabricated in a damascene process, namely: a trench is formed in the first layer, a copper barrier layer and copper are filled in the trench, and a metal wire is formed and covered on the dielectric layer. The excess copper/copper barrier layer on the dielectric layer is then removed by chemical mechanical polishing, leaving individual interconnect lines in the trenches. The chemical mechanical polishing process of copper is generally divided into 3 steps, namely, firstly removing a large amount of copper on the surface of a substrate with high downward pressure at a high and efficient removal rate and leaving a certain thickness of copper, secondly removing the residual metallic copper with low removal rate and stopping on a barrier layer, and thirdly, removing the barrier layer, part of dielectric layer and metallic copper with barrier layer polishing solution to realize planarization.
Copper polishing is to remove excessive copper on the barrier layer as soon as possible on the one hand, and to minimize dishing of the polished copper wire on the other hand. The metal layer has a partial recess over the copper lines prior to copper polishing. Copper on the dielectric material is easily removed under bulk pressure (higher) during polishing, while copper in the recess is polished at a lower pressure than the bulk pressure and at a lower copper removal rate. As polishing proceeds, the copper level difference gradually decreases to achieve planarization. However, if the chemical action of the copper polishing liquid is too strong and the static etching rate is too high during polishing, the passivation film of copper is easily removed even under a relatively low pressure (e.g., copper line dishing), resulting in a decrease in planarization efficiency and an increase in dishing after polishing.
With the development of integrated circuits, on the one hand, in the traditional IC industry, in order to improve the integration level, reduce the energy consumption, shorten the delay time, make the line width narrower and narrower, use the low dielectric (low-k) material with lower mechanical strength for the dielectric layer, the number of layers of the wiring is also increasing, and in order to ensure the performance and stability of the integrated circuit, the requirement on copper chemical mechanical polishing is also increasing. It is required to reduce polishing pressure, improve planarization of copper wire surface and control surface defects while ensuring copper removal rate. On the other hand, the line width cannot be scaled down indefinitely due to physical limitations, and the semiconductor industry is no longer solely dependent on integrating more devices on a single chip to improve performance, but is moving toward multi-chip packaging. Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology is widely accepted in the industry as a latest technology for realizing interconnection between chips by making vertical conduction between chips and between wafers. TSVs enable the density of stacked chips in three dimensions to be maximized, the overall dimensions to be minimized, and chip speed and low power consumption performance to be greatly improved. The conventional TSV process is combined with the conventional IC process to form copper vias penetrating through the silicon substrate, i.e., copper is filled in the TSV opening to realize conduction, and the superfluous copper after filling also needs to be planarized by chemical mechanical polishing removal. Unlike the conventional IC industry, the excess copper filled back surface is typically several to tens of microns thick due to the deep through silicon vias. In order to quickly remove this excess copper. It is generally desirable to have a high copper removal rate while providing good surface flatness after polishing. In order to make copper better for use in semiconductor technology, new improvements in polishing solutions have been continually attempted.

It should be understood that the contents of the present invention refer to mass percent.
The structural formula of adenine derivative partially conforming to the present invention is shown in Table 1.
Table 1 shows a partial representative adenine derivative formula
Table 2 shows the formulations of comparative examples 1-4 and examples 1-26 for the chemical mechanical polishing slurries of the present invention. According to the formula given in Table 2, the other components except the oxidizing agent are uniformly mixed, and the water is used to make up the mass percent to 100%. The pH is adjusted to the desired pH with KOH or HNO 3. Adding oxidant before use, and mixing.

TABLE 2 Components and contents of chemical mechanical polishing solutions of comparative examples 1 to 4 and examples 1 to 26
Further, the chemical mechanical polishing solutions of comparative examples 1 to 4 and inventive examples 18 to 26 were used to polish bare copper (Cu) and tantalum (Ta) under the following conditions.
Specific polishing conditions: cu polishing pressures were 1.5psi and 2.0psi, tantalum polishing pressures were 1.5psi; the rotation speed of the polishing disk and the polishing head is 73/67rpm, the polishing pad IC1010 and the flow rate of the polishing liquid are 300mL/min, the polishing table is 12' reflexion LK, and the polishing time is 1min. The copper/tantalum removal rates for each example were measured separately and the removal rate selection ratios were calculated for both and the results are set forth in table 3.
The patterned copper wafers were polished using the polishing solutions of comparative examples 1 to 4 and inventive examples 18 to 26 under the following conditions.
Specific polishing conditions: the rotation speed of the polishing disk and the polishing head is 73/67rpm, the polishing pad IC1010 and the flow rate of the polishing liquid is 300mL/min, and the polishing table is 12' reflexion LK. Polishing the patterned copper wafer to about residual copper on polishing pad 1 with a downforce of 2.0psiThe residual copper was then removed on polishing pad 2 with a down force of 1.5 psi. Dishing values (Dishing), dielectric Erosion (eroion), and copper surface roughness (Roughness) of copper line array regions of 5um/1um (copper line/dielectric line width) on patterned copper wafers were measured with an XE-300P atomic force microscope, and the number of surface defects of the polished copper blank wafer was measured with a surface defect scanner SP2, and the dishing values and dielectric Erosion values of the resulting copper lines, and the copper surface roughness and number of surface defects were as shown in table 3.
TABLE 3 polishing rates of chemical mechanical polishing solutions of comparative examples 1 to 4 and examples 18 to 26
As can be seen from Table 3, the polishing solution of the present invention not only has a higher copper/tantalum removal rate selection ratio, but also significantly reduces dishing of copper wire and erosion of dielectric layer after polishing by using the polishing solution of the present invention, and significantly improves the surface roughness of copper and the number of defects on copper surface after polishing, as compared with the comparative example.
The polishing solution in comparative example 1 only contains silicon dioxide abrasive particles, complexing agent and oxidant, and has higher copper and tantalum removal rates, so that the copper/tantalum removal rate selection ratio is low; the polishing solution of comparative example 2 was added with the azole corrosion inhibitor based on comparative example 1, thereby reducing the tantalum removal rate and improving the copper/tantalum removal rate selection ratio of the polishing solution to a certain extent. However, the polishing solution of comparative example 2 still has an insufficient copper/tantalum removal rate selectivity to meet the polishing requirements of tantalum as a barrier layer.
In comparative example 3, abrasive grains having a larger grain size were selected, and although the azole corrosion inhibitor and adenine derivative were selected, the tantalum removal rate was reduced, but no charge regulator was selected, resulting in higher copper surface roughness and higher number of copper surface defects. The excessive addition of adenine derivative in comparative example 4 resulted in too low copper removal rate.
The polishing solution of the embodiments 19-26 of the invention controls the pH value to 5-8 by selecting the grinding particles with the average particle diameter of 20-120nm, and the charge regulator, the adenine derivative and the azole corrosion inhibitor are matched for use, thereby having higher copper removal rate, lower tantalum removal rate and higher copper/tantalum removal rate selection ratio; dishing and dielectric erosion of the polished copper wire are obviously reduced; meanwhile, the surface roughness and the surface defect number of the polished copper are also obviously improved.
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.
