Definitions

  • This invention relates to a polishing sheet for polishing a target object requiring a high degree of smoothness for its surface such as semiconductor wafers, liquid crystal glass substrates, magnetic hard disk substrates and magnetic head substrates and a method of producing such a polishing sheet.
  • this invention relates to such a sheet adapted for chemical mechanical polishing.
  • CMP chemical mechanical polishing
  • the CMP method is carried out by use of a polishing liquid containing a component which reacts chemically with the target surface to be polished. While the target surface is chemically etched or while complexes and oxides are being formed on the target surface, the surface is abraded mechanically by free polishing particles contained in the polishing liquid.
  • the CMP method is known to have the advantage of being able to accomplish a very fine polishing work and to make a surface smooth to a very high degree.
  • the so-called multi-layer wiring technology is becoming important for increasing the device capacity.
  • the base layer In this multi-layer wiring technology, the base layer must be made extremely flat. If the base layer is uneven with protrusions and indentations, the result in step differences and the wires formed over a step difference are likely to be broken easily. Thus, the desired functions cannot be expected, and the CMP method is relied upon in order to make smooth a wafer having a wiring pattern and an insulating film formed thereon.
  • a CMP method may be used to make a semiconductor wafer flat by supplying an alkaline polishing liquid with a component (such as a water solution of potassium hydroxide) which reacts chemically with the film formed on the wafer surface onto a polishing pad attached to a rotary lapping plate and pressing the wafer onto this pad.
  • a component such as a water solution of potassium hydroxide
  • Prior art examples of a polishing pad used for such a purpose include a pad having a foamed base having many very small holes on the surface (such as a commercially available formed polyurethane pad IC-1000 produced by Rodel, Inc.) and a pad having a sheet of woven cloth comprising plastic fibers affixed to an elastic sheet such as a rubber sheet (as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. Showa 55-90263).
  • These polishing pads were used because the free polishing particles held in the very small surface holes of a foamed material or in spaces between the fibers of the woven cloth were believed to elastically act on the target surface such that the target surface can be polished to a high degree of smoothness.
  • Prior art polishing pads using a foamed material were produced by foaming a mixture of at least two resin materials to form a foamed block and slicing such a foamed block to a desired thickness but it was difficult to control the degree of foaming to be uniform throughout the body of the foamed block.
  • the produced pads were different in the number of holes per unit area of surface and elasticity and local variations were also present even on each produced pad.
  • the polishing surface becomes worn out locally or as a whole, becoming deformed as time passes such that it becomes incapable of polishing the target surface uniformly.
  • the small holes on the polishing surface become clogged with abrading particles and debris such that the polishing rate (the amount polished per unit time) becomes lower.
  • the common practice is to carry out the so-called dressing process by use of a sand plate or the like with hard particles such as diamond particles imbedded to recondition the pad surface.
  • the dressing process is not only time-consuming but also troublesome in that hard particles such as diamond particles removed from the dressing tool become attached to the pad surface, causing unwanted scratches on the target surface to be made smooth.
  • a polishing sheet embodying this invention may be characterized as comprising a woven cloth sheet of a fiber, a fiber bundle with a plurality of fibers bundles up together or a fiber bundle assembly with a plurality of such fiber bundles of the cloth sheet.
  • Such a polishing sheet of the present invention may preferably attached to the surface of a backing sheet of a plastic, woven or non-woven cloth or foamed material by using a resin adhesive of a known kind such as urethane, polyester or acryl resins.
  • Sateen woven cloths may be used as examples of woven sheets. If the sateen number is increased, the surface roughness of the target object can be made smaller and the polishing rate can also be increased.
  • the sateen number is preferably in the range of 1-15 and more preferably in the range of 3-15.
  • Woven sheets of this invention may comprises fibers of known kinds not only for the purpose of polishing but also for general use. Fibers with thickness equal to or less than 0.1 deniers are used for reducing the surface roughness of the target object and to increase the rate of polishing. Polyester fibers of thickness equal to 0.1 deniers or smaller are preferably used.
  • Examples of resin for fixing the fibers or fiber bundles of a woven sheet include urethane resins, polyester resins and acryl resins. Urethane resins may preferably be used.
  • the density of resin in the resin solution is preferably in the range of 0.1%-30%.
  • the resin solution of this invention is obtained by dissolving such a resin material in water, alcohol or water-based solvent such as an organic solvent.
  • Polishing sheets of this invention as described above may be produced by impregnating such a woven cloth as described above with a resin solution and then drying the woven cloth impregnated with the resin solution.
  • a target object is polished by causing a polishing liquid to be present between a polishing pad or a polishing tape made of a polishing sheet of this invention and the surface of the target object to be polished and causing a relative motion between the target object and the polishing pad or the polishing tape.
  • a polishing liquid with a component which chemically interacts appropriately with the surface of the target object is preferably selected for carrying out a chemical mechanical polishing process. The invention does not require whether the polishing liquid should or should not contain abrading particles.
  • a polishing sheet 10 embodying this invention is characterized as comprising a sheet 12 having single fibers 13, fiber bundles 13 with a plurality of fibers tied together or assembles 13 of a plurality of fiber bundles each with a plurality of fibers and a resin material 14 fixing these fibers 13 and these fiber bundles 13 together.
  • the polishing sheet 10 is affixed to the surface of a backing sheet 15 by using an adhesive agent 16 of a known kind such as a urethane resin, a polyester resin or an acryl resin.
  • Examples of material to be used for the backing sheet 15 includes plastic sheets such as polyester, polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate sheets, woven cloth sheets, non-woven cloth sheets and foamed sheets made of a foamed material such as foamed urethane.
  • sateen woven fibers and fiber bundles 13 may be used as the woven cloth sheet 12. If the sateen number in this case is too small, the polishing rate becomes too small and the surface roughness of the target object after the polishing process becomes large. If the sateen number is increased, the polishing rate becomes larger and the surface roughness of the polished target object becomes small but if the sateen number is made too large, the polishing sheet becomes too easily deformed. It is therefore preferred that the sateen number be equal to 15 or less and more preferably in the range of 3-15.
  • Fig,1(a) shows an example where the sateen number is 5.
  • fibers 13 forming the woven cloth sheet 12 of this invention include one or more selected from synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester, acryl, vinylon, vinyl polychloride, polyethylene, vinyliden, polyurethane, polychlal, rayon, polynosic, cupra, acetate, triacetate and promix and natural fibers such as carbon fibers, silk, wool, cotton and hemp.
  • Fibers with thickness equal to or less than 0.1 deniers are used in order to make the surface roughness of the target object small and the polishing rate high. Polyester fibers with thickness equal to or less than 0.1 deniers are preferred.
  • the resin solution to be impregnated in the woven cloth sheet 12 is obtained by dissolving a known kind of urethane or polyester resin in water.
  • the density of resin in the resin solution is in the range of 0.1%-30%.
  • a urethane resin solution may preferably bu used such that the fibers and fiber bundles of the woven cloth sheet 12 are fixed together by urethane resin 14.
  • the polishing sheet 10 as shown in Figs.1(a) and 1(b) is produced by impregnating the woven cloth sheet 12 with a resin solution and drying this woven cloth sheet 12 impregnated with the resin solution such that the fibers and fiber bundles 13 of the woven cloth sheet 12 become fixed together by a resin 14.
  • the resin solution may be impregnated in the woven cloth sheet 12 by using a spray or by submerging the woven cloth sheet 12 in a tank containing the resin solution.
  • the woven cloth sheet 12 may be affixed to the backing sheet 15 without using the adhesive agent 16 but by pressing the woven cloth sheet 12 impregnated with the resin solution against the surface of the backing sheet 15 and drying the resin solution.
  • a double-faced adhesive tape of a known kind may be used on the backing sheet 15.
  • the polishing of the surface of a target object is accomplished by causing a polishing liquid to exist between a polishing pad or a polishing tape made of the polishing sheet 10 as shown in Figs.1(a) and 1(b) and causing the polishing pad or the polishing tape and the target object to move with respect to each other.
  • a polishing pad 10 made of a polishing sheet of this invention is adsorbed to a head H and while the lapping plate D and the head H are rotated as shown by arrows, a polishing liquid is supplied through a nozzle N onto the polishing pad 10 on the lapping plate D and the target object 11 is pressed on the polishing pad 10 on the lapping plate D.

  • a polishing liquid is supplied onto the surface of the polishing pad 10 through a nozzle N, and the target object 11 adsorbed to the head H is pressed against the polishing pad 10 running over a platen P having an elastic material (not shown) affixed to its surface.
  • a target object 11 such as a semiconductor wafer
  • a drum C with the polishing pad 10 made of a polishing sheet of this invention pasted around it is caused to rotate as shown by another arrow.

  • the polishing tape 10 may be moved either continuously or intermittently such that the motion is stopped while the target object 11 is being pushed onto the surface of the polishing tape 10.
  • a known kind of polishing liquid used for polishing with free abrading particles may be used but those containing a component which chemically react with the surface of the target object are preferred.
