Description

本発明は、酸化セリウム研磨剤及び基板の研磨法に関する。   The present invention relates to a cerium oxide abrasive and a method for polishing a substrate.

従来、半導体装置の製造工程において、プラズマ−CVD、低圧−CVD等の方法で形成されるSiO絶縁膜等無機絶縁膜層を平坦化するための化学機械研磨剤として、コロイダルシリカ系の研磨剤が一般的に検討されている。コロイダルシリカ系の研磨剤は、シリカ粒子を四塩化珪素を熱分解する等の方法で粒成長させ、アルカリ溶液でpH調整を行って製造している。しかしながら、この様な研磨剤は、無機絶縁膜の研磨速度が充分な速度を持たず、実用化には低研磨速度という技術課題がある。 Conventionally, a colloidal silica-based polishing agent as a chemical mechanical polishing agent for planarizing an inorganic insulating film layer such as a SiO 2 insulating film formed by a method such as plasma-CVD or low-pressure CVD in a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device Is generally considered. Colloidal silica-based abrasives are produced by growing silica particles by a method such as thermal decomposition of silicon tetrachloride and adjusting the pH with an alkaline solution. However, such an abrasive does not have a sufficient polishing rate for the inorganic insulating film, and there is a technical problem of low polishing rate for practical use.

一方、フォトマスクやレンズ等のガラス表面研磨剤として、酸化セリウム研磨剤が用いられている。酸化セリウム粒子は、シリカ粒子やアルミナ粒子に比べ硬度が低く、したがって研磨表面に傷が入りにくいことから仕上げ鏡面研磨に有用である。また、酸化セリウムは、強い酸化剤として知られるように化学的活性な性質を有している。この利点を活かし、絶縁膜用化学機械研磨剤への適用が有用である。しかしながら、ガラス表面研磨用酸化セリウム研磨剤は、不純物を多く含有するためそのまま半導体用研磨剤として適用することはできない。さらに、ガラス表面研磨用酸化セリウム研磨剤をそのまま無機絶縁膜研磨に適用すると、酸化セリウム粒子径(一次粒子や凝集粒子)が大きく、そのため絶縁膜表面に目視で観察できる研磨傷が入ってしまう。   On the other hand, a cerium oxide abrasive is used as a glass surface abrasive for photomasks and lenses. Cerium oxide particles have a lower hardness than silica particles and alumina particles, and are therefore useful for finish mirror polishing because they are less likely to scratch the polished surface. Moreover, cerium oxide has a chemically active property as known as a strong oxidizing agent. Taking advantage of this advantage, application to a chemical mechanical polishing agent for insulating films is useful. However, the cerium oxide abrasive for polishing glass surfaces cannot be applied as it is as an abrasive for semiconductors because it contains many impurities. Furthermore, when the cerium oxide abrasive for polishing the glass surface is directly applied to the inorganic insulating film polishing, the cerium oxide particle diameter (primary particles and aggregated particles) is large, and therefore, the surface of the insulating film can be visually observed.

本発明は、SiO絶縁膜等の被研磨面を傷なく高速に研磨することが可能な酸化セリウム研磨剤および基板の研磨法を提供するものである。 The present invention provides a cerium oxide abrasive capable of polishing a surface to be polished such as a SiO 2 insulating film at a high speed without damage and a method for polishing a substrate.

本発明の酸化セリウム研磨剤は、酸化セリウム粒子、分散剤、及び水を含むものである。酸化セリウム粒子は、炭酸セリウムを原料として製造したもので、炭酸セリウムは全体の90体積%以上が一次粒子径3〜60μmであるものが使用される。炭酸セリウムは、板状結晶の凝集体が好ましく、凝集体の平均粒子径が20〜100μmであることが好ましい。本発明の酸化セリウム研磨剤を構成する酸化セリウム粒子は、粒子径の中央値が150〜600nmであることが好ましい。出発原料である炭酸セリウムの一次粒子径は走査型電子顕微鏡(例えば(株)日立製作所製 S−900型)による観察で測定する。粒子の長径と短径を求め長径と短径の積の平方根をその粒子の粒子径とする。出発原料である炭酸セリウム凝集体の粒子径又は酸化セリウム研磨剤に含まれる酸化セリウム粒子の粒子径は、レーザー回折法(例えば測定装置、Malvern Instruments社製 Mastersizer Microplus、光源He−Neレーザー、粒子の屈折率1.9285、吸収0で測定)で測定する。中央値は、体積粒子径分布の中央値であり、粒子径の細かいものからその粒子の体積割合を積算していき50%になったときの粒子径を意味する。すなわち、ある区間Δの粒子径の範囲に体積割合Vi%の量の粒子が存在するとき、区間Δの平均粒子径をdiとすると粒子径diの粒子がVi体積%存在するとする。粒子径diの小さい方から粒子の存在割合Vi(体積%)を積算していき、Vi=50%になったときのdiを中央値とする。酸化セリウム研磨剤中の酸化セリウム粒子は、99体積%以上が3000nm以下であることが好ましい。本発明の基板の研磨法は、上記の酸化セリウム研磨剤で所定の基板、例えばSiO絶縁膜が形成された基板で研磨することを特徴とするものである。本発明は、炭酸セリウムを原料に用いて製造した酸化セリウム粒子を含む酸化セリウム研磨剤が、SiO絶縁膜等の被研磨面を傷なく高速に研磨することを見い出したことによりなされたものである。 The cerium oxide abrasive | polishing agent of this invention contains a cerium oxide particle, a dispersing agent, and water. The cerium oxide particles are produced using cerium carbonate as a raw material, and 90% by volume or more of cerium carbonate having a primary particle diameter of 3 to 60 μm is used. The cerium carbonate is preferably an aggregate of plate crystals, and the average particle diameter of the aggregate is preferably 20 to 100 μm. The cerium oxide particles constituting the cerium oxide abrasive of the present invention preferably have a median particle diameter of 150 to 600 nm. The primary particle diameter of cerium carbonate as a starting material is measured by observation with a scanning electron microscope (for example, S-900 type manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.). The major axis and minor axis of the particle are obtained, and the square root of the product of the major axis and the minor axis is defined as the particle diameter of the particle. The particle diameter of the cerium carbonate aggregate as a starting material or the particle diameter of the cerium oxide particles contained in the cerium oxide abrasive is determined by a laser diffraction method (for example, a measuring device, Mastersizer Microplus manufactured by Malvern Instruments, light source He-Ne laser, particle size). (Measured at a refractive index of 1.9285, absorption 0). The median is the median of the volume particle size distribution, and means the particle size when the volume ratio of the particles is accumulated from the finer particle size to 50%. That is, when particles having an amount of volume ratio Vi% exist in a range of particle diameters in a certain section Δ, assuming that the average particle diameter in the section Δ is di, particles having a particle diameter di exist in Vi volume%. The particle abundance ratio Vi (volume%) is integrated from the smaller particle diameter di, and di when Vi = 50% is set as the median. 99% by volume or more of the cerium oxide particles in the cerium oxide abrasive is preferably 3000 nm or less. The substrate polishing method of the present invention is characterized by polishing with a predetermined substrate, for example, a substrate on which an SiO 2 insulating film is formed, with the above cerium oxide abrasive. The present invention has been made by finding that a cerium oxide abrasive containing cerium oxide particles produced using cerium carbonate as a raw material polishes a surface to be polished such as an SiO 2 insulating film at high speed without scratches. is there.

本発明の研磨剤により、SiO絶縁膜等の被研磨面を傷なく高速に研磨することが可能となる。 The polishing agent of the present invention makes it possible to polish the surface to be polished such as the SiO 2 insulating film at high speed without scratching.

炭酸セリウムは、八水和物として結晶化するが、これを空気中等の酸素含有雰囲気中で加熱すると、分解して酸化セリウムが生成する。このときの重量減少は50%に及ぶが分解後の酸化セリウムは、原料の炭酸セリウムの形態を保持している。したがって、熱分解直後の酸化セリウムは、相対密度が約50%に低下しており、強度の低い酸化セリウムが得られる。そこで本発明によれば、炭酸セリウムを用いて酸化セリウムを製造し、これを酸化セリウム研磨剤に使用することで、SiO絶縁膜等の被研磨面を傷なく高速に研磨できる酸化セリウム研磨剤および基板の研磨法が得られる。本発明で用いる酸化セリウム粒子は、炭酸セリウムを原料とし、炭酸セリウムは全体の90体積%以上が一次粒子径3〜60μmである。炭酸セリウムは板状結晶の凝集体が好ましく、凝集体の平均粒子経が20〜100μmであることが好ましい。炭酸セリウムは水和物として結晶化するため、本発明で用いる炭酸セリウムは水和物をさす。本発明の酸化セリウム研磨剤を構成する酸化セリウム粒子は、粒子径の中央値が150〜600nmであることが好ましい。酸化セリウム研磨剤中の酸化セリウム粒子は、99体積%以上が3000nm以下であることが好ましい。また、半導体チップ研磨に使用することから、アルカリ金属およびハロゲン類の含有率は、10ppm以下に抑えることが好ましい。 Cerium carbonate crystallizes as an octahydrate, and when this is heated in an oxygen-containing atmosphere such as air, it decomposes to produce cerium oxide. Although the weight loss at this time reaches 50%, the decomposed cerium oxide maintains the form of the raw material cerium carbonate. Therefore, cerium oxide immediately after pyrolysis has a relative density reduced to about 50%, and cerium oxide with low strength can be obtained. Therefore, according to the present invention, a cerium oxide abrasive capable of producing a cerium oxide using cerium carbonate and using the cerium oxide abrasive as an abrasive to polish a surface to be polished such as a SiO 2 insulating film at a high speed without damage. And a polishing method for the substrate is obtained. The cerium oxide particles used in the present invention are made from cerium carbonate, and 90% by volume or more of the cerium carbonate has a primary particle diameter of 3 to 60 μm. The cerium carbonate is preferably an aggregate of plate crystals, and the average particle size of the aggregate is preferably 20 to 100 μm. Since cerium carbonate crystallizes as a hydrate, the cerium carbonate used in the present invention refers to a hydrate. The cerium oxide particles constituting the cerium oxide abrasive of the present invention preferably have a median particle diameter of 150 to 600 nm. 99% by volume or more of the cerium oxide particles in the cerium oxide abrasive is preferably 3000 nm or less. Moreover, since it uses for semiconductor chip grinding | polishing, it is preferable to suppress the content rate of an alkali metal and halogens to 10 ppm or less.

Since the cerium oxide particles produced by the above method are agglomerated, it is preferably mechanically pulverized. As the pulverization method, a dry pulverization method such as a jet mill or a wet pulverization method such as a planetary bead mill is preferable. The jet mill is described, for example, in Chemical Engineering Papers Vol. 6 No. 5 (1980) pp. 527-532.

Here, although there is no restriction | limiting in the density | concentration of a cerium oxide particle, The range of 0.5-20 weight% is preferable from the ease of handling of suspension. Moreover, since it uses for semiconductor chip grinding | polishing as a dispersing agent, polyacrylic acid ammonium salt is preferable as an alkali metal, such as Na and K, and a thing which does not contain a halogen and sulfur. In addition, polyacrylic acid ammonium salt and water-soluble organic polymers (polyglycerin fatty acid ester, etc.), water-soluble anionic surfactant (alkyl ether carboxylate), water-soluble nonionic surfactant (polyethylene glycol monoester) Two or more dispersants including at least one selected from stearates and the like and water-soluble amines (monoethanolamine and the like) may be used. These dispersants are added in an amount of 0.01 to 2.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the cerium oxide particles in view of the dispersibility of the particles in the slurry and prevention of settling, and the relationship between the polishing scratches and the amount of the dispersant added. The following ranges are preferred. 1000-10000 are preferable and, as for the molecular weight (weight average molecular weight) of polyacrylic acid ammonium salt, 3000-8000 are more preferable.

Thus, an abrasive can be obtained.

本発明の酸化セリウム研磨剤が使用される無機絶縁膜の作製方法として、低圧CVD法、プラズマCVD法等が挙げられる。低圧CVD法によるSiO絶縁膜形成は、Si源としてモノシラン:SiH、酸素源として酸素:Oを用いる。このSiH−O系酸化反応を400℃程度以下の低温で行わせることにより得られる。場合によっては、CVD後1000℃またはそれ以下の温度で熱処理される。高温リフローによる表面平坦化を図るためにリン:Pをドープするときには、SiH−O−PH系反応ガスを用いることが好ましい。プラズマCVD法は、通常の熱平衡下では、高温を必要とする化学反応が低温でできる利点を有する。プラズマ発生法には、容量結合型と誘導結合型の2つが挙げられる。反応ガスとしては、Si源としてSiH、酸素源としてNOを用いたSiH−NO系ガスとテトラエトキシシラン(TEOS)をSi源に用いたTEOS−O系ガス(TEOS−プラズマCVD法)が挙げられる。基板温度は250℃〜400℃、反応圧力は67〜400Paの範囲が好ましい。このように、本発明のSiO絶縁膜にはリン、ホウ素等の元素がド−プされていても良い。 Examples of a method for manufacturing an inorganic insulating film in which the cerium oxide abrasive of the present invention is used include a low pressure CVD method and a plasma CVD method. In the formation of the SiO 2 insulating film by the low pressure CVD method, monosilane: SiH 4 is used as the Si source, and oxygen: O 2 is used as the oxygen source. It can be obtained by performing this SiH 4 —O 2 -based oxidation reaction at a low temperature of about 400 ° C. or less. In some cases, heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 1000 ° C. or lower after CVD. When doping phosphorus: P in order to achieve surface flattening by high-temperature reflow, it is preferable to use a SiH 4 —O 2 —PH 3 -based reactive gas. The plasma CVD method has an advantage that a chemical reaction requiring a high temperature can be performed at a low temperature under normal thermal equilibrium. There are two plasma generation methods, capacitive coupling type and inductive coupling type. The reaction as a gas, SiH 4 as an Si source, an oxygen source as N 2 O was used was SiH 4 -N 2 O-based gas and TEOS-O 2 based gas using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in an Si source (TEOS- Plasma CVD method).
