Description
The present invention relates to a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus for a substrate, and more particularly, to a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus capable of improving the uniformity of a polishing surface by controlling the pressure of a substrate carrier by measuring the temperature of the polishing pad.
BACKGROUND ART [0002] Recently, with the rapid spread of an information medium such as a computer, semiconductor devices are rapidly developing. In terms of its function, the semiconductor device is required to operate at high speed and to have a large storage capacity. In response to this demand, semiconductor processing technology is being developed in the direction of improving the degree of integration, reliability, and response speed and the like.
A silicon substrate widely used as a material for manufacturing semiconductor devices refers to a single crystal silicon thin plate made of polycrystalline silicon as a raw material. The substrate manufacturing process includes a slicing process for cutting a grown silicon single crystal ingot into thin plates, a lapping process for uniformizing and flattening the thickness of the substrate, a process for eliminating or alleviating damages caused in the slicing process and the lapping process An etching process for polishing the surface of the substrate, a polishing process for mirror-polishing the substrate surface, and a cleaning process for cleaning the polished substrate and removing foreign matters adhering to the surface.
Here, the polishing process is divided into stock polishing, which removes the surface alteration layer of the substrate and improves the thickness uniformity, and final polishing which polishes the surface of the substrate to mirror surface.
In the final polishing process, a polishing head, which fixes a substrate with a predetermined pressure, and a polishing table, which is a table with a polishing cloth, are mechanically polished by a chemical reaction by a polishing slurry composed of a colloidal silica, A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) apparatus is used.
In such a CMP apparatus, a substrate carrier is used as an apparatus for holding a substrate. The substrate carrier holds the substrate directly and indirectly by vacuum suction, and a membrane type is mainly used. In addition, there has been proposed a multi-layer split polishing type substrate carrier capable of variously adjusting the polishing profile of a substrate by applying a different local pressure to one substrate, beyond simply polishing the surface of the substrate by applying a uniform pressure have.
On the other hand, in the CMP process, the abrasive grains are uniformly distributed over the entire polishing pad so that the polishing quality is maintained constant. Abrasive pads are typically held with abrasive particles by a plurality of voids, which are provided with a conditioner that micro-cuts the surface of the abrasive pad to maintain the performance of the abrasive pad and generates new voids on its surface. The conditioner is provided with a conditioning disk with micro-diamond particles for cutting the surface of the polishing pad. When the conditioning is completed, a cleaning process is performed to remove the slurry or the like attached to the conditioning disk.
However, in the conventional conditioner cleaning process, it is difficult to completely remove the slurry because the ultrapure water is sprayed on the surface of the conditioning disk and the slurry is removed only by the force of the injection of the ultra-pure water, thereby causing the slurry to remain without being completely removed. As a result, when the conditioner conditions the polishing pad, the residual slurry is transferred to and remains in the polishing pad, causing scratches on the substrate during the polishing process of the substrate. Further, when a certain period of time and the number of times after the use of the conditioner has elapsed, the conditioning disk is worn and the conditioning efficiency of the polishing pad deteriorates, so that the conditioning disk has to be periodically replaced.
According to embodiments of the present invention, a chemical mechanical substrate polishing apparatus capable of effectively removing slurry or the like from a conditioner is disclosed.
Also disclosed is a chemical mechanical substrate polishing apparatus that can improve the lifetime of a conditioning disk and maintain a conditioning effect at a certain level or more.
The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other matters not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
According to the present invention, there is provided a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus comprising: a polishing pad having a polishing pad for polishing a substrate; a polishing pad provided on the polishing pad, A conditioner for removing by-products generated in the polishing process and finely cutting the surface of the polishing pad, and a cleaning unit for finely cutting the conditioning disk of the conditioner.
According to one aspect of the present invention, the cleaning unit may be provided at a position separate from the polishing table. The cleaning unit may include a cleaning pad that is in contact with the conditioning disk, and the cleaning pad may be attached with particles of the same hardness or hardness as abrasive particles attached to the conditioning disk.
According to one aspect, the cleaning unit may further include a detector for measuring the wear or flatness of the conditioning disk. For example, the detection unit may be provided at one side of the cleaning unit. Alternatively, the detecting unit may be provided on a path from the polishing platen to the cleaning unit.
According to one aspect, the cleaning unit may include a cleaning unit that provides DI to the conditioning disk. For example, the cleaning section may be provided to provide DI to the cleaning pad of the cleaning section. Alternatively, the cleaner may be provided to provide DI on the surface of the conditioning disk.
