In addition, terms used in this specification are terms used to appropriately express the preferred embodiments of the present invention, which may vary depending on the user, the intention of the operator, or the practice of the field to which the present invention belongs. Therefore, the definitions of these terms should be based on the contents throughout this specification. Like reference symbols in the drawings denote like elements.

Throughout the specification, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements as well, without excluding other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.

Hereinafter, the nitride film polishing slurry composition of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples and drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and drawings.

According to the present invention, a cationic polymer; Amphoteric compounds; Nonionic polymers; And abrasive grains. The present invention also provides a slurry composition for polishing a nitride film.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The slurry composition for nitride film polishing of the present invention exhibits a high polishing rate for a nitride film and at the same time has a polishing stop function in an oxide film and a polysilicon film. When performing a chemical mechanical polishing process, the oxide film and the polysilicon film are used as a polishing stopper film So that the nitride film can be effectively polished. Therefore, the nitride film can realize a high polishing selectivity ratio for each of the oxide film and the polysilicon film.

The cationic polymer may include two or more ionized cations in the molecular formula, and may include two or more cations activated by nitrogen. Thus, the viscosity of the cationic polymer can be controlled. The cationic polymer may have a viscosity of 20 cp to 40 cp. The polishing rate of the nitride film can be controlled by controlling the viscosity of the cationic polymer, and the polishing selectivity of the nitride film to the oxide film can be controlled by adjusting the oxide film polishing rate.

The cationic polymer may have a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 or less. If the weight average molecular weight of the cationic polymer is too low, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient polishing rate when polishing the oxide film or the nitride film and the planarization effect becomes insufficient. When the weight average molecular weight exceeds 100,000, coagulation phenomenon occurs, And the storage stability of the polishing slurry composition may be deteriorated.

The cationic polymer may be in quaternary ammonium form. The cationic polymer can be, for example, poly (diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride), poly [bis (2-chloroethyl) ether-alt-1,3-bis [3- ) Propyl] urea] (Poly [bis (2-chloroethyl) ether-alt-1,3-bis [3- (dimethylamino) propyl] urea]); 1,4- 2,2 ', 2''-nitrilotris-, polymer with (N'-tetramethyl-2-butene-1,4-diamine) 1,4-dichloro-2-butene and N, N, N ', N'-tetramethyl-2-butene-1,4-diamine; hydroxyethylcellulose dimethyldiallylammonium chloride copolymer diallylammonium chloride copolymer; acrylamide / diallyldimethylammonium chloride; acrylamide / quaternized dimethylammonium ethyl methacrylate (Copolymer of acrylamide and quaternized dimethacrylate) acrylic acid / diallyldimethylammonium chloride; acrylamide / dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate methyl chloride copolymer; acrylamide / dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer; acrylic acid / diallyldimethylammonium chloride; acrylamide / dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate methyl chloride copolymer; Quaternized hydroxyethyl cellulose, vinylpyrrolidone / quaternized dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer (Copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and quaternized dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate); Copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone / quaternized vinylimidazole; copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone and quaternized vinylimidazole; Vinylpyrrolidone / methacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium copolymer (Copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and methacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium); Poly (2-methacryloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride); poly (2-methacryloxyethyl) trimethylammonium chloride; Poly (acrylamide 2-methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride), poly [2- (dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) methyl chloride] (poly [2- (dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate methyl poly [3-methacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride], poly [3-acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride], poly [3-methacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride] Poly (ethyleneimine) ethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene dichloride], poly (ethyleneimine) ethylene (dimethylimino) ethylene dichloride], acrylic acid / acrylamide / diallyldimethylammonium chloride terpolymer of acrylic acid, acrylamide and diallyldimethylammonium Chloride); acrylic acid / methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride / methyl Vinylpyrrolidone, and quaternized vinylimidazole), vinylpyrrolidone / vinylpyrrolidone / vinylpyrrolidone / quaternized vinylimidazole, polyvinylpyrrolidone / quaternized vinylimidazole, terpolymer of acrylic acid, 2-methacryloxyethyl phosphorylcholine-co-n-butyl methacrylate); poly [(dimethylamino) ethyl acrylate benzyl chloride quaternary salt] (PDMAEA BCQ) and poly [(dimethylamino) ethyl acrylate methyl chloride quaternary salt] (PDMAEA MCQ).

The amphoteric compound means a compound that acts as a base for an acidic substance and acts as an acid for a basic substance. In the present invention, an amphoteric compound may include an amino acid having an amphoteric charge. An amino acid has both a carboxyl group (-COOH) showing acidity and an amino group (-NH 2 ) showing basicity in one molecule at the same time. When dissolved in water, amino acids are called amphoteric compounds because they act as acids or bases depending on pH. (Base) accept a proton (H +) in the molecular structure depending on the pH of the solution cation (-NH 2 + H + >>> -NH 3+) and one (acid) emitting a proton (H +) anion (-COOH >>> - COO - + H + ), so that positive ions are formed.

The amphoteric compound may have a pKa1 value of 1 to 3 and a pKa2 value of 8 to 12. Amino acids show a stepwise ionization reaction depending on the pH of the solution, because the pKa values of the carboxyl group, amino group and side chain constituting the amino acid are different. The pKa value means the pH at which each functional group constituting the amino acid becomes an equilibrium state (50% is an ion state). For example, in the case of glycine, the pKa1 value of the carboxyl group constituting glycine is 2.35, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > pKa2 < / RTI > This means that at pH 2.35, 50% of the carboxyl groups are present as anions (-COO-) and the remainder are as carboxyl groups (-COOH), and at pH 9.78, 50% of the glycine amino groups are cations (-NH 3+ ) 2 ). ≪ / RTI >

The ampholytic compound can adjust the adsorption degree of the cationic polymer on the surface of the oxide film, the nitride film and the polysilicon film to control the degree of adsorption of the polishing film, and in particular, the function of increasing the polishing rate of the nitride film can be realized. Accordingly, at the time of performing the polishing process, the selection ratio can be realized by controlling the phenomenon that the film quality is polished. In addition, the amphoteric compound is adsorbed on the surface of abrasive grains to prevent the abrasive grains from aggregating together. Thus, the dispersion stability of the slurry composition for polishing a nitride film according to the present invention can be improved.

Wherein the amphoteric compound is selected from the group consisting of glycine, alanine, serine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, histidine, lysine, arginine, aspartic acid, tryptophan, glutamine, betaine, cocodimopropylbetaine, Phosphorus, and phosphorus.

The ampholytic compound / cationic polymer weight fraction may be from 50 to 200. If the ampholytic compound / cationic polymer weight fraction is less than 50, the desired polishing selectivity can not be obtained due to the low polishing rate for the oxide film, the nitride film and the polysilicon film. If the weight ratio is less than 200, selective polishing of the oxide film, Performance may not appear. It is preferable that the ampholytic compound / cationic polymer weight fraction does not exceed 200 in terms of surface uniformity after polishing of the polysilicon film. By adjusting the weight fraction of the amphoteric compound / cationic polymer, a high selectivity to an oxide film, a nitride film, and a polysilicon film can be realized, and the polishing rate and surface planarization can also be improved.

The nonionic polymer is added in order to realize a polishing stop function for the oxide film and the polysilicon film. The nonionic polymer forms a passivation layer on the surface of the oxide film and the polysilicon film in the polishing process, Thereby preventing direct contact with the oxide film and the polysilicon film, and making the polishing rate for the oxide film and the polysilicon film considerably slow.

The nonionic polymer may be, for example, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether, polyoxyalkylene alkyl ester, polyoxyethylene methyl ether, polyethylene glycol sulfonic acid, polyvinyl There may be used an alcohol, a polyethylene oxide, a polypropylene oxide, a polyalkyl oxide, a polyoxyethylene oxide, a polyethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymer, a cellulose, a methylcellulose, a methylhydroxyethylcellulose, a methylhydroxypropylcellulose, a hydroxyethylcellulose, Cellulose, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, sulfoethyl cellulose, and carboxymethyl sulfoethyl cellulose.

The nonionic polymer may be 0.001 wt% to 5 wt% of the slurry composition for polishing a nitride film. When the nonionic polymer is less than 0.001 wt% of the slurry composition for polishing a nitride film, the protective function against the oxide film and the polysilicon film is deteriorated and the oxide film and the polysilicon film are excessively polished to fail to exhibit the polishing stop function. Due to the hydrophobicity of the nonionic polymer, contamination such as reattachment of particles after polishing may occur, and dispersion stability may be deteriorated and micro-scratch may occur.

Wherein the abrasive particles comprise at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal oxide coated with a metal oxide, an organic substance or an inorganic substance, and the metal oxide in a colloidal state, and the metal oxide is at least one selected from the group consisting of silica, ceria, zirconia, alumina, At least one selected from the group consisting of titania, barium titania, germania, manganese, and magnesia.

The abrasive grains may be 0.5 wt% to 10 wt% of the slurry composition for polishing a nitride film. If the abrasive grains are less than 0.5% by weight, the polishing rate may be lowered. If the abrasive grains are more than 10% by weight, defects may be caused by abrasive grains.

And the average particle size of the abrasive grains is 10 nm to 300 nm. When the abrasive grains are less than 10 nm, the abrasion rate of the abrasive grains is decreased, and selection failure is difficult. When the abrasive grains are more than 300 nm, it is difficult to control the surface defects, There can be a problem.

The abrasive grains may include those prepared by a liquid phase method, but are not limited thereto. The liquid phase method includes a sol-gel method in which abrasive particle precursors are chemically reacted in an aqueous solution to obtain fine particles by growing crystals, coprecipitation method in which abrasive particle ions are precipitated in an aqueous solution, and hydrothermal fluids Synthetic methods, and the like. The abrasive grains produced by the liquid phase method are dispersed so that the surfaces of the abrasive grains have a positive charge.

The abrasive grains may be monocrystalline, but are not limited thereto. When monocrystalline abrasive grains are used, the scratch reduction effect can be achieved compared to the polycrystalline abrasive grains, the dishing can be improved, and the cleaning ability after polishing can be improved.

The shape of the abrasive grains may be at least one selected from the group consisting of spherical, angular, needle-like, and plate-like shapes, and may be spherical.

Wherein the polishing selectivity ratio of the nitride film to the oxide film is from 4 to 200 when the ampholytic compound / cationic polymer weight fraction is 50 to 200, and the polishing selectivity ratio of the nitride film to the polysilicon film is 7 to < RTI ID = 80 < / RTI > The slurry composition for polishing a nitride film exhibits high-speed polishing performance against an oxide film and a polysilicon film with respect to a nitride film when the ampholytic compound / cationic polymer weight fraction is high, and when the ampholytic compound / cationic polymer weight fraction is low, A high selectivity ratio can be realized in the nitride film and the polysilicon film.

The pH of the slurry composition for polishing a nitride film may be 4 to 6. The polishing rate, the high selectivity and the dishing suppressing function can be improved in the above pH range. Enhancement of the cation by the pH control shows the effect of increasing the nitriding rate, and it is possible to reduce the polishing rate of the oxide film by adjusting the oxide film removal rate by selective adsorption.

The slurry composition for polishing a nitride film is used to polish a nitride film using an oxide film and a polysilicon film as a polishing stopper film. The oxide film is formed of, for example, tetra ethyl ortho silicate (TEOS), plasma enhanced-TEOS phosphorus silicate glass, boron silicate glass (BSG), boron phosphorus silicate glass (BPSG), polysilazane, undoped-silicate glass (USG), and high density plasma (HDP) And may include at least any one of them.

The slurry composition for nitride film polishing according to the present invention can secure a polishing performance of not less than 400 A / min to 2,000 A / min, preferably not less than 1,500 A / min even in a nitride film having a high hardness, as compared with a conventional polishing slurry composition . And a polishing rate of 10 A / min to 200 A / min for the oxide film and the polysilicon film. At this time, the nitride film exhibits a polishing selectivity of not less than 4: 1, preferably not less than 10: 1, for the oxide film and the polysilicon film.

In the present invention, by polishing the oxide film and the polysilicon film with the nitride film using the polishing stopper film, the erosion and dishing phenomenon that have occurred in the upper part of the wafer during the polishing process can be minimized, and therefore a reliable semiconductor memory device can be manufactured.
