Abstract
Description
本発明は、各種部材の表面の平坦化、平滑化に利用される。特にＣＭＰ（以下、化学機械研磨とする）に有効な金属酸化物粒子、これを含む研磨材、この研磨材を用いた基板の研磨方法及び研磨して得られる半導体装置の製造方法に関する。 The present invention is used for flattening and smoothing the surfaces of various members. In particular, the present invention relates to metal oxide particles effective for CMP (hereinafter referred to as chemical mechanical polishing), an abrasive containing the same, a method for polishing a substrate using the abrasive, and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device obtained by polishing.
現在、半導体素子の高密度・高精細化が進み、デザインルールは０．１ミクロン前後になっている。このような厳しい微細化の要求に対して開発されている技術として、ＣＭＰがある。
この技術は、半導体装置の製造工程において、露光を施す層を完全に平坦化し、露光技術の負担を軽減し、歩留まりを安定させることができる。
Currently, semiconductor elements are becoming denser and more precise, and the design rule is around 0.1 microns. CMP has been developed as a technology that has been developed to meet such a demand for miniaturization.
This technique can completely planarize the layer to be exposed in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device, reduce the burden of the exposure technique, and stabilize the yield.
例えば、層間絶縁膜の平坦化、トレンチ分離時の埋め込み絶縁膜の平坦化、また銅配線等の平坦化処理の際に必須となる技術である。
この技術は例えば特許文献１に開示されている。
This technique is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.
集積回路内の素子分離形成技術において、デザインルール０．５ミクロン以上の世代ではＬＯＣＯＳ（シリコン局所酸化）が用いられてきたが、加工寸法の更なる微細化に伴い、素子分離幅の小さいシャロートレンチ分離技術が採用されている。シャロートレンチ分離では基板上に埋め込んだ余分な酸化珪素膜を除去するためにＣＭＰが必須な技術となる。 LOCOS (Silicon Local Oxidation) has been used in the element isolation formation technology in integrated circuits for generations with design rules of 0.5 microns or more, but shallow trenches with a small element isolation width have come along with further miniaturization of processing dimensions. Separation technology is adopted. In shallow trench isolation, CMP is an essential technique for removing an excess silicon oxide film embedded on a substrate.
金属配線形成技術においても、加工寸法の微細化に伴い要求される電気特性を満たすためにＣｕやＣｕＡｌ合金が採用されている。ＣｕやＣｕＡｌ合金の配線技術としては、ダマシン、デュアルダマシン等の埋め込み配線技術があり、基板上に埋め込んだ余分な金属を取り除くためにＣＭＰが必須となる。ダマシン法については、例えば、特許文献１に開示されている。
従来、半導体素子の製造工程において、プラズマ−ＣＶＤ、低圧−ＣＶＤ、スパッタ、電気メッキ等の方法で形成される酸化珪素などの絶縁膜、キャパシタ強誘電体膜、配線用金属や金属合金などの平坦化及び埋め込み層を形成するためのＣＭＰ研磨材としてフュームドシリカ、コロイダルシリカ、アルミナ、セリア系砥粒を使用している。 Conventionally, in a semiconductor device manufacturing process, an insulating film such as silicon oxide, a capacitor ferroelectric film, a wiring metal or a metal alloy formed by a method such as plasma-CVD, low-pressure CVD, sputtering, or electroplating is flat. Fumed silica, colloidal silica, alumina, and ceria-based abrasive grains are used as the CMP abrasive for forming the chemical and buried layers.
デザインルールの縮小に伴い、層間絶縁膜、シャロートレッチ分離用絶縁膜、金属埋め込み層に導入される研磨傷による半導体チップ不良がクローズアップされてきている。研磨傷は、配線ショートの原因となり、半導体チップの歩留まり低下に繋がる。 With the reduction of design rules, semiconductor chip defects due to polishing flaws introduced into interlayer insulating films, shallow trech isolation insulating films, and metal buried layers have been highlighted. Polishing scratches cause wiring shorts and lead to a decrease in the yield of semiconductor chips.
本発明は、層間絶縁膜平坦化、シャロートレンチ分離形成、金属埋め込み配線形成等のＣＭＰ技術において、酸化珪素膜、金属埋め込み膜等へ研磨傷の発生を防止又は低減することが可能なＣＭＰが実施できる金属酸化物粒子、これを含む研磨材、この研磨材を用いた基板の研磨方法及び研磨して得られる半導体装置の製造方法を提供するものである。 The present invention implements CMP capable of preventing or reducing the occurrence of polishing scratches on a silicon oxide film, a metal buried film, etc. in CMP techniques such as interlayer insulation film planarization, shallow trench isolation formation, metal buried wiring formation, etc. The present invention provides a metal oxide particle that can be produced, an abrasive containing the same, a method for polishing a substrate using the abrasive, and a method for producing a semiconductor device obtained by polishing.
シャロートレンチ分離埋め込み絶縁膜や金属埋め込み層表面は、研磨材中の砥粒の粒子サイズが大きいと傷が入りやすい。粒子サイズを小さくすれば研磨傷は低減されるが、研磨速度が遅くなってしまう。 The surface of the shallow trench isolation buried insulating film and the metal buried layer is easily damaged when the grain size of the abrasive grains in the abrasive is large. If the particle size is reduced, polishing scratches are reduced, but the polishing rate is slowed down.
本発明者らは、粒子の大きさのほかに、結晶子の大きさ及び結晶の歪も研磨速度に関係していると考えた。具体的には、結晶子サイズが大きく、結晶歪が小さい方が研磨速度は速いと推定し、そして、結晶子が大きく結晶歪が小さな微粒子であれば傷発生が少なく短時間で研磨できると考えた。そこで、結晶子サイズ及び結晶歪と研磨特性の関係を種々検討した。その結果、上記問題を解消することができ、本発明を解消するに至った。 The inventors considered that in addition to the size of the particles, the size of the crystallites and the distortion of the crystals are also related to the polishing rate. Specifically, it is estimated that the polishing rate is faster when the crystallite size is larger and the crystal strain is smaller, and if the crystallite is large and the crystal strain is small, it can be polished in a short time with few scratches. It was. Accordingly, various relationships between the crystallite size and crystal strain and the polishing characteristics were examined. As a result, the above problems can be solved and the present invention has been solved.
