Abstract

The slurry could accelerate the polishing rate of copper and silicon at the same time under an alkaline condition.

Description

A Chemical Mechanical Polishing Slurry
Technical Field
The present invention relates to abrasive substance, in particular, to a chemical mechanical polishing slurry.
Background Art
TSV technology (Through-Silicon-Via) is a novel technology which can achieve the chip interconnection by creating a vertical access between chip and chip, and wafer and wafer.
The advantage of TSV over the conventional stacking technique using bump and IC bonding packaging is that it could maximize the density of chip in a three-dimensional direction, minimize the shape of chip and shorten the interconnection so as to improve the speed of chip and low power consumption. When polishing, the backside thinning technology of TSV technology requires a fairly high polishing rate of silicon and copper at the same time.
To achieve a high polishing rate, silicon commonly is polished under an alkaline condition.
For example, US2002032987 publishes slurry containing an alcohol amine as an additive so as to improve the removal rate of poly silicon, and the most preferred additive is 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol. US2002151252 provides a polishing composition containing a plurality of carboxylic acids as a chelating agent to improve the removal rate of poly silicon, and the chelating agent is preferably EDTA or DTPA. EP1072662 publishes a slurry having organic substances sharing a delocalization structure produced by lone-pair electrons and double-bond so that the slurry could accelerate the removal rate of poly silicon, and the organic substances are preferably guanidines and salts thereof,
US2006014390 discloses one kind of polishing solution used to improve the removal rate of poly silicon, and the solution comprises 4.25 to 18.5 weight percent of an abrasive, and 0.05 to 1.5 weight percent of an additive. And the additive is selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium, quaternary ammonium salt, ethanol amine and the like. In addition, the polishing solution further contains a nonionic surfactant such as homo-or co-polymers of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol. CN101497765A significantly improves the polishing rate of silicon by using the synergistic effects of biguanides and azoles.
To achieve a high polishing rate, copper commonly is polished under an acidic condition by use of high oxidation potential of oxidant (hydrogen peroxide) under an acidic condition and the property of which copper tends to complex and dissolve under an acidic condition. For example, CN1705725 publishes a slurry for polishing a copper surface, and the slurry removes the copper surface by use of an oxidant (hydrogen peroxide, etc), a chelating agent and a passivation agent at a pH between 2.5 and 4. CN1787895A discloses a CMP composition which includes a rheology agent, an oxidizing agent, a chelating agent, a passivation agent, an abrasive and a solvent. Under an acidic condition, this kind of CMP composition advantageously improves material selectivity, and it could be used for polishing semiconductor substrates having copper thereon without dishing into the polished copper or other unfavorable planarization defects. CN01818940A discloses a copper-polishing slurry which could significantly improves the removal rate of copper by further combination with an oxidant agent such as hydrogen peroxide and/ or a corrosion inhibitor such as benzotriazole. And high polish rate is achieved while maintaining local pH stability and substantially reducing global and local corrosion.
Sometimes copper is polished under an alkaline condition. For example, CN1644640A discloses an aqueous composition useful for polishing copper under an alkaline condition.
Said composition comprises weight percent 0.001 to 6 an inhibitor for a nonferrous metal, : 10.05 to 10 a complexing agent for the metal, 0.01 to 25 a copper removal agent for accelerating the removal of the copper, 0.5 to 40 an abrasive, etc and accelerates the removal rate of copper by interaction of imidazoles for accelerating the polishing of the copper and BTA. CN1398938A discloses global planarization CMP slurry for multilayer copper wire in large scale integrated circuit, used for improving the removal rate of copper.
Said slurry comprises the following ingredients: 18 to 50 weight percent of an abrasive, ,
0.1 to 10 weight percent of a chelating agent, 0.005 to 25 weight percent of a complexing agent, 0.1 to 10 weight percent of an active agent, 1 to 20 weight percent of an oxidant agent and de-ionized water.
In the prior art, although the polishing rate of copper would be high under an acidic condition, the polishing rate of silicon usually is low. The reason is that under an acidic condition, a silicon surface oxidizes to form silicon dioxide because of the effect of oxidant, and compared with the silicon, silicon dioxide is more difficult to remove.
Although the polishing rate of silicon would be high without oxidant under an alkaline condition, the polishing rate of copper usually is low. Because copper needs to be oxidized so that could be easily removed. However, if an oxidant, such as hydrogen peroxide, is added, a silicon surface will oxidize to form silicon dioxide because of the effect of oxidant. In addition, an oxidant, such as hydrogen peroxide, is unstable and decomposes rapidly under an alkaline condition.
Summary of Invention
The object of the present invention is to provide chemical mechanical polishing slurry which can accelerate the polishing rate of copper and silicon at the same time under an alkaline condition.
The chemical mechanical polishing slurry of the present application includes abrasive particles, oxidants, amino acids, quaternary ammonium bases and water, and the pH of the chemical mechanical polishing slurry is alkaline.
In the present invention, wherein said abrasive particles may be one or more selected from a group consisting of SiO». ALOs3. ZrO,. CeO,. SiC. Fe;0O3. TiO; and /or Si3Na. And the concentration of the abrasive particles may be in the range of 1-30% (weight percent).
In the present invention, said oxidants may be one or more selected from a group consisting of bromate, chlorate, iodate, periodic acid and/or periodate. Said bromate may be potassium bromate, said chlorate may be potassium chlorate, said iodate may be potassium iodate, and said periodate may be ammonium periodate. And the concentration
: of said oxidants may be in the range of 0.5-4% (weight percent).
In the present invention, said amino acids may be selected from glycine and/ or L- glutamic acid. And the concentration of said amino acids may be in the range of 1-8% (weight percent).
In the present invention, said quaternary ammonium bases could be tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). And the concentration of said quaternary ammoniums may be in the range of 5-12% (weight percent).
