Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable precise, high-speed and easy execution of complete flattening of a substrate having indentation by a method wherein elements, dyestuff and chemical substances contained in an organic resist or silica glass are detected or analyzed by analyzing a grinding waste liquid, a point of completion of grinding is judged and the rotational speed, load pressure and load position of a grinder are controlled. CONSTITUTION:Grinding is conducted so that a load is applied uniformly on a rotary grinder 10, and thereby a resist 45 alone is removed. When the surface of an SiO2 film 44 appears, the rate of removal of the resist 45 lessens and therefore dyestuff detected from inside of the resist decreases sharply. The amount of the load is reduced in this stage and a method of applying the load uniformly is changed over to a method of applying the load in a way of displacement. The load is applied in the directions A, B, C and D for 30 seconds at this time, and the dyestuff of a grinding waste liquid flowing for 30 seconds is quantified. The result of this quantification is fed back to the amount of the load to be applied secondly in the directions A, B, C and D, and programming is made beforehand so that the load is applied more to a point at which the density of the dystuff is larger. By continuing this operation until the dyestuff is no longer detected in the grinding waste liquid, a completely flat plane is attained.

(Example 2) As Example 2 of the present invention, a process of actually planarizing a substrate surface having an uneven surface will be described. In particular, this embodiment shows an example in which the planarization process is applied to an interlayer insulating film. The planarization process will be explained step by step with reference to FIG. 4. In the figure (a), a thermal oxide film 42 is formed on a 6-inch Si substrate 41, and an AI wiring (Al film thickness 0.8 μm) 43 is formed. was formed using photolithography and dry etching technology, and TE01 was formed using plasma CVD as an interlayer insulating film.

is deposited to a thickness of 2.5 μm. In this state i! , AL wiring 43
Due to its thickness, unevenness may occur on the 5i02 film 44. In addition to the above configuration, a dummy resist 45 for flattening is applied by rotation. , even if a dye (diazo compound) is included to control the rotary polisher, Figure (c) shows the polishing process diagram.
FIG. 4(d) shows the final state after flattening is completed.

When the surface of the 5i02 film 44 comes out (Fig. 4 (C)
)), as the rate at which the resist 45 is scraped decreases, the amount of dye detected from within the resist rapidly decreases (indicated by (a) in the figure). At this stage, you can reduce the size of the load and apply the load evenly.Alternatively, you can apply the load displacemently.At this time, the time the load is applied to A, B, C, and D is 30 seconds. Quantify the amount of dye in the polishing waste liquid that flowed during the process (indicated by (b) in the figure). This quantitative result is fed back to the magnitude of the load to be applied to A, B, C, and D in the second time.The program is programmed to apply a larger load to the point where the dye concentration is higher.This operation If this is continued until the dye in the polishing waste liquid is no longer detected, a completely flat surface will be achieved.This state is shown in Figure 4(d).Of course, an HF-based etching liquid is mixed in the polishing agent. It goes without saying that instead of the organic resist applied to the substrate, silica glass containing a specific element, a specific dye, or a specific chemical substance may be spin-coated.
