【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ハードディスク等に用いられる金属質基材やガラス質基材、半導体等の被研磨物を研磨する際に使用されるパッドの洗浄に有用な洗浄剤組成物及びそれを用いた研磨に使用するパッドの洗浄方法に関する。更に詳しくは、研磨に使用された研磨剤粒子、研磨時に被研磨材料から発生した被研磨物粒子等の固形物により目詰まりした研磨パッド等の研磨に使用されるパッドから、目詰まりしている固形物を効率よく除去しうる洗浄剤組成物及びそれを用いた洗浄方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
固体表面の平坦化のための表面研磨工程、例えば半導体用シリコンウエハ等のポリッシング工程、半導体の層間絶縁膜の平坦化や銅等の金属配線形成工程におけるダマシン工程、ハードディスク用のアルミニウム基材、ニッケル−リンめっき処理基材、各種のガラス基材等の表面研磨工程等においては、ウエハ、金属基材、ガラス基材等の平坦化すべき被研磨材料の平滑度を目的とする値に調整するために、特定の値に設定された表面粗さを有する研磨パッド上に研磨液を供給しながら被研磨材料を圧着し、被研磨材料及び研磨パッドのいずれか一方又は双方を回転させながら研磨処理を行う方法が採用されている。研磨に使用する研磨パッドは、一般に、研磨定盤上に接して固定されており、研磨剤として酸化珪素、酸化アルミニウム、酸化セリウム、酸化ジルコニウム、ダイヤモンド等の微粒子が使用されている。研磨時に使用される研磨液は、使用目的に応じてpHが調整された水溶液に前記研磨剤を分散させたものである。また、研磨パッドには、一般にポリウレタンフォーム等の発泡体、これと他の樹脂との複合素材等の有機高分子化合物複合材料、それらに各種無機化合物粒子や有機化合物粒子を分散させたコンパウンド樹脂組成物等が使用されている。
【0003】
しかしながら、被研磨材料を研磨する際には、研磨剤粒子の凝集物や被研磨材料から発生した研磨屑や研磨パッドの破片等が研磨パッド等のパッドの表面に付着し、パッドの表面粗さが大きく変化し、研磨に要する時間が長くなって生産性が低下したり、また所望の表面平坦度が得られなくなることがあるという欠点がある。
【0004】
このような欠点を解消する方法として、研磨パッドの表面をダイヤモンド粒子を用いて所望の表面粗さとなるように削り取るドレッシングと称される方法、ブラシを用いて研磨パッド等のパッドの表面から付着物を除去する方法等が採用されている(特開平10-329003 号公報)。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cleaning agent composition useful for cleaning a pad used when polishing an object to be polished such as a metallic substrate, a glassy substrate or a semiconductor used for a hard disk or the like, and polishing using the same. The present invention relates to a method for cleaning a pad to be used. More specifically, the abrasive particles used for polishing are clogged from a pad used for polishing such as a polishing pad clogged with a solid material such as abrasive particles generated from the material to be polished during polishing. The present invention relates to a cleaning composition capable of efficiently removing solids and a cleaning method using the same.

[Prior art]
Surface polishing process for flattening the solid surface, for example, polishing process for silicon wafers for semiconductors, damascene process for flattening semiconductor interlayer insulating films and metal wiring processes such as copper, aluminum base material for hard disks, nickel -To adjust the smoothness of the material to be polished, such as wafers, metal substrates, glass substrates, etc., to the target value in the surface polishing step of phosphorus-plated substrates, various glass substrates, etc. In addition, the material to be polished is pressure-bonded while supplying the polishing liquid onto the polishing pad having the surface roughness set to a specific value, and the polishing process is performed while rotating either one or both of the material to be polished and the polishing pad. The method to do is adopted. A polishing pad used for polishing is generally fixed in contact with a polishing surface plate, and fine particles such as silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, cerium oxide, zirconium oxide, and diamond are used as an abrasive. The polishing liquid used at the time of polishing is obtained by dispersing the abrasive in an aqueous solution whose pH is adjusted according to the purpose of use. In addition, the polishing pad is generally a foamed material such as polyurethane foam, an organic polymer compound composite material such as a composite material of this and other resins, and a compound resin composition in which various inorganic compound particles and organic compound particles are dispersed therein. Things are used.
[0003]
However, when polishing the material to be polished, agglomerates of abrasive particles, polishing debris generated from the material to be polished, and fragments of the polishing pad adhere to the surface of the pad such as the polishing pad, and the surface roughness of the pad Changes greatly, and the time required for polishing becomes long, resulting in a decrease in productivity, and a desired surface flatness may not be obtained.
[0004]
As a method for eliminating such drawbacks, a method called dressing, in which the surface of the polishing pad is scraped so as to have a desired surface roughness using diamond particles, and deposits from the surface of the pad such as a polishing pad using a brush. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-329003 discloses a method for removing water.

However, the former method has a drawback that the effective use period of the polishing pad is shortened, and the latter method cannot sufficiently remove the deposits, and a desired surface roughness can be obtained. There is a drawback that it is difficult.

From the results shown in Table 1, since the detergent compositions obtained in Examples 1 to 9 all contain an anionic surfactant, they exhibit good detergency. Among them, the detergent compositions obtained in Examples 2 to 4, 6 to 7, and 9 have 5 or more groups represented by —COOR 1 or —SO 3 R 1 (R 1 represents a base). Since it contains an anionic surfactant (compounds C to G) having a molecular weight of 500 or more, it exhibits excellent detergency.
[0030]
Moreover, since the cleaning composition obtained in Example 5 contains a chelating agent, the cleaning performance is in contrast to the cleaning composition (Example 1) using an anionic surfactant alone. It turns out that it is excellent in. Further, since the detergent composition obtained in Example 9 contains a nonionic surfactant (Compound H), the detergent composition using an anionic surfactant alone (Example) It can be seen that the cleaning property is excellent as compared with 1).

【The invention's effect】
The cleaning composition of the present invention is extremely excellent in the effect of removing deposits from a pad such as a polishing pad used at the time of polishing, and reduces the productivity of polishing due to the contamination of the pad and the product quality of the material to be polished. It has an excellent effect of preventing and improving productivity and quality.
