Description
Background of invention
Invention field
The present invention relates generally to be used for the preparation method of the metal oxide paste of chemical-mechanical polishing of semiconductor (CMP), be particularly related to and utilize by metal oxide paste is collided with the opposite direction of injecting from two apertures at a high speed, and make this metal oxide paste except that the μ that demonstrates a kind of unusual minimizing-cut occurrence rate, can also have narrow particle size dispersion and superior dispersion stability and polishing speed.
Prior art
The CMP method is a kind of lithography, can be used in the semi-conductive manufacturing.When semi-conductor became microminiaturization along with more intensive multilayered structure, the complanation that can obtain by the CMP method was indispensable for highly integrated semi-conductor.
Generally, concerning metal oxide paste useful in the CMP method, except that requiring to have the high purity, also requiring to have good dispersibility and polishing speed and permission has the least possible defective after polishing, as μ-cut.
Except that purity, above-mentioned all requirements are all closely related with the granular size and the distribution of metal oxide.For granular size, smaller particles is preferred, because smaller particles can show better dispersion stability, and can provide μ-cut still less.But smaller particles is unfavorable for polishing efficiency, because particle is more little, polishing speed is slow more.Certainly, aspect particle size dispersion, particle preferably is distributed in the narrow size range.In other words, granular size is even more, will bring good more polish results.For example, when use had the slurry of granular size of wide region, the planeness on the surface of fretting corrosion was poor, and has a large amount of surperficial μ-cuts.
Therefore, when selecting to be used for the granular size of CMP slurry and distributing, must calculate polishing speed, dispersion stability and μ-cut occurrence rate.
United States Patent (USP) 5,382,272 disclose the preparation method of the polishing composition that shows high polishing speed.Said composition is based on silicon-dioxide and is used for the polished silicon wafer.Said composition is by silicon-dioxide is mixed in high-speed mixer with deionized water, and mixture is stirred in the stirring runner milling that contains a kind of medium of milling (ball).The matrix abrasive is by a kind of second kind of positively charged ion such as the Ce that add
4+And Zr
4+And be activated to strengthen polishing speed.The disclosed method of this patent has shortcoming.In the dispersion process of being finished by the collision between abrasive and the described ball, described ball tarnishes inevitably.In addition, the generation of tailing phenomenon makes that producing its particle has the slurry of narrow size distribution to become difficult.Say that further described ball suffers erosion and makes their dispersive ability descend in process of lapping.In fact, because slurry granular size to each other that is produced and distribution is obvious different, can not wish to obtain constant polishing ability from described slurry.
In another known preparation method, the rotary drum high speed that a kind of fluid is sold at German IKA is rotated and is collided with stator.Although this technology has been strengthened United States Patent (USP) 5,382,272 method still has a problem, is exactly that the result of wall collision corrodes stator and makes dispersive ability reduce significantly.
The granular size that all these known technology are produced is 1 micron.These particles can not be used for CMP too greatly.Particularly these particles if μ-cut occurred in isolation processes, will cause fatal infringement because there is μ-cut can not be used for the isolation of shallow ridges as the CMP slurry to the function and the output of semiconducter device.
Another technology that relates to the CMP slurry is disclosed among the WO patent No.9747430.Along with the use in the polished silicon wafer, the paste compound of this patent contains silicon-dioxide as a kind of abrasive, as the monoethanolamine of pH regulator agent with such as NH
4 +, Cs
+And Ba
2+Additive.The pH regulator agent has been got rid of as KOH or NH
4The conventional pH regulator agent of OH may diffuse into the neutralized possibility of effect of pollutent of wafer in polishing process.But these slurries show low relatively scope from 1500～2500 dusts/minute polishing speed.In addition, do not mention the dispersing method of CMP slurry in this technology.
United States Patent (USP) 5,342,609 have described the method and apparatus that forms milk sap, wherein with the collision between the oil, cavatition and shearing stress in conjunction with utilization.Described device is called a kind of minisize fluid machine, is to become known for various purposes, in particular for emulsifying effect.But it is not used for the particles dispersed as metal oxide.
Use the example of minisize fluid machine referring to United States Patent (USP) 5,342,609 in the prior art.According to this patent, contain calcium and oxide anion granular mixture and in a minisize fluid machine, disperse to have the composition that granular size is 5 nanometers with production.Yet this composition is used for testing goal such as MRI, X-ray and ultrasonic, is not used in polished semiconductor.
Summary of the invention
Therefore an object of the present invention is to overcome existing problem in the prior art, and provide a kind of preparation method who is used for the metal oxide paste of chemical-mechanical polishing of semiconductor (CMP), can make metal oxide paste except that the μ that demonstrates a kind of unusual minimizing-cut occurrence rate by this method, can also have narrow particle size distribution and superior dispersion stability and polishing speed.
According to the present invention, the preparation method of the metal oxide chemical mechanical polishing slurry that is applicable to semiconducter device that described purpose can be passed through to be provided realizes, wherein will contain the metal oxide of 1～50 heavy % and the water of 50～99 heavy % mixes in a premix tank, by means of transmission pump by being forced into 50 normal atmosphere with high-pressure pump so that flow velocity is not less than 100 meter per seconds, mixture is transferred in the dispersing chamber, and in dispersing chamber, carry out the opposite direction collision and disperse by two apertures.
The simple description of accompanying drawing
The description of above and other objects of the present invention and the aspect embodiment by with reference to the accompanying drawings and will become obvious.
Fig. 1 represents according to the present invention the dispersion process synoptic diagram of metal oxide paste;
Fig. 2 is that the expression fluid passes through two apertures conceptual diagram of opposite direction collisions each other in dispersing chamber.
Detailed description of the present invention
To understand better the preferred specific embodiment of the present patent application with reference to accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 represents according to the present invention the dispersion process schematic diagram of metal oxide paste. As shown in the figure, metal oxide is with after water mixes equably in premix tank 1, and in the pipeline that metal oxide paste is introduced with high-pressure pump 3 links to each other, high-pressure pump 3 is with auxiliary transmission pump 2. By the acceleration of high-pressure pump 3, make flow velocity be not less than 100 meter per seconds, this slurry is injected dispersing chamber 4 by two apertures, in dispersing chamber 4, wall collision, cavitation and shearing that slurry collides such as fluid by the opposite direction of complexity disperse. In the method for the invention, design keeps diameter should reclaim so that final slurry is stable by a kind of way of recycling greater than the particle of 500 nanometers after disperseing by collision. Check valve 5 is installed in before or after the high-pressure pump 3 to avoid backflow of slurry.
In general, the dispersion of metal oxide depends on its surface area.Surface-area is big more, and the metal oxide dispersiveness is good more.When carrying out oxidation under 1000 ℃ or higher temperature, the present invention can obtain any metal oxide that surface area is 20～300 meters squared per gram that has.Preferably be selected from by SiO
2, CeO
2, ZrO
2Or a kind of in the group formed of its mixture.
The metal oxide of selecting is mixed with water in premix tank, and the blended mode is that to make resulting metal oxide paste have solid content be 1～50 heavy %, preferred 5～30 heavy %.If premixed slurry has the solid content that is lower than 1 heavy %, then can not reach satisfied dispersion effect.On the other hand,, can cause the thixotroping phenomenon, cause the viscosity pole the earth to increase if solid content surpasses 50 heavy %.
Before being used for the CMP process, with this slurry dilution.The solid content of metal oxide paste that for example will be used for the dilution of CMP technology is to SiO
2Be controlled at 10～14 heavy %, to CeO
2Be controlled at 1～5 heavy %, to ZrO
2Be controlled in the scope of 4～8 heavy %, help polishing performance and material cost.
In the present invention, the degree of scatter of metal oxide and the fluid velocity of acceleration are proportional, and fluidic speed is proportional with the pressure in the high-pressure pump at orifice diameter place.Therefore, have the metal oxide paste of various particle size dispersion can be simply pressure by the control high-pressure pump obtain.
According to the present invention, its flow velocity of fluid that quickens by the pressure effect of high-pressure pump 3 is higher than 100 meter per seconds, preferred 350 meter per seconds.For reaching this flow velocity, requiring 3 pairs of flow velocitys of high-pressure pump is that 100 meter per seconds pressurize under 50 normal atmosphere, is that 350 meter per seconds pressurize under 500 normal atmosphere to flow velocity.Therefore any pressure pump is as long as pressure is 50 normal atmosphere or highlyer all can be used for the present invention.
As mentioned above, by two apertures that are provided with at dispersing chamber 4, will be introduced in the dispersing chamber 4 by the fluid that high-pressure pump is quickened, in dispersing chamber 4, fluid carries out complicated opposite direction collision as wall collision and cavatition, to form ultra-fine grain.Described aperture is to be made by engineering plastics, glass-reinforced plastic, carbon steel, stainless steel, pottery or diamond.Consider preferably ceramic or diamond from weather resistance.But these examples only are in order to illustrate rather than limit the present invention.
Consider and the tolerability of high-pressure pump and the dispersion efficiency of slurry that aperture 6 should have 0.05～0.5 millimeter, preferred 0.1～0.3 millimeter diameter.For example, if the diameter in aperture 6 is lower than 0.05 millimeter, under certain pressure condition, owing to increase the effect of acceleration, and the dispersion that metal oxide paste is obtained; But, therefore caused the productivity result of difference owing to reduced the turnout of unit time.On the other hand, if the diameter in aperture 6 greater than 0.5 millimeter, productivity has increased, but owing to need to keep the high-pressure pump of desired flow velocity, is worthless economically.
As shown in Figure 2, the aperture is tubulose and is designed to exit diameter (I
1) less than inlet diameter (I
2), improved the effect of the acceleration under certain pressure condition like this.As exit diameter (I
1) reduce to inlet diameter (I
2) a half, flow velocity is increased to 4 times.On mathematics, the production of the slurry of unit time is directly proportional with the square root of the sum of squares institute applied pressure of the exit diameter in aperture.When design dispersing technology system, the diameter in aperture and the pressure of high-pressure pump can decide by the treatment rate of considering slurry.
Consider the degree of scatter (super-refinement) of metal oxide, the pressure of this degree of scatter and high-pressure pump 3 and opposite direction collision frequency are proportional.In other words, when pressure increased, when collision frequency increased, the particle of metal oxide was littler, and the distribution of granular size is narrower and more even.
For the SiO that extremely is widely used for the CMP method
2Slurry, for example, when in case is being 0.2 millimeter by two diameters, pressure is to carry out one under the flow velocity of 350 meter per seconds in 500 atmospheric two apertures when colliding in the other direction, can obtain to be applicable to the particle that mean sizes is 140～150 nanometers that has of CMP.Certainly, be higher than 500 atmospheric pressure effects and produce littler particle, make particle size dispersion narrower.Yet, be higher than the same polishing effect of slurry that the slurry that is obtained under 500 normal atmosphere demonstrates and obtained under 500 normal atmosphere, as polishing speed and μ-cut occurrence rate.Therefore, if there is not difference on polish results, selecting alap pressure is favourable aspect Energy efficiency.On the other hand, compare, be lower than at pressure that prepared slurry has identical high polishing speed under 300 normal atmosphere, but produce more μ-cut with slurry prepared under 500 normal atmosphere.
Below listed embodiment be illustrated more clearly in principle of the present invention and practice to the person skilled in the art.These embodiment are not restriction the present invention, but to the explanation of some preferred embodiment of the present invention.Embodiment 1
