Tungsten CMP polishing slurry smoothes the surface of tungsten by the two effects of tungsten etching and mechanical polishing. In the CMP process of tungsten, a competitive chemical reaction will occur. The primary chemical reaction is an oxidation reaction. During the oxidation process, the oxidant forms tungsten oxide on the surface of the substrate. The secondary reaction is a composite reaction in which the compound dissolves the oxide film formed on the surface of the substrate during the oxidation process. [Prior art] " Because tungsten has a high degree of stability " crane grinding slurry must rely on a strong oxidant. Based on this, strong oxidants such as thorium oxide have been used and published as oxidants for tungsten slurry. For example, strein_ in US Patent No. 5,993,686 discloses metal oxide salts, metal oxide complexes, metal oxides (such as peracetic acid and perkidic acid), iron salts (such as: phosphonate) bowls Long salt, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citric acid ^ 豕 Iron potassium lanthanide, hydrogen peroxide, complex acid 4A, acid breaking _, bromate J — ^ f divanadium divanate and other similar Compounds, aluminum salts, sodium salts, potassium salts, ammonium salts, W, and Syria salts, scaly salts, and chlorinated cation salts of peroxides, chlorates, two-mouthed ^ dagger rat red salts, slightly acid salts , Permanganese bismuth salt, persulfate and mixtures thereof.

The Nine Army's chemical swords, such as tooth emulsions, can chemically react with the United States, China, and the soil to form 831 83530 200415220 metal oxides. Afterwards, the basic tungsten oxide can be removed by the polishing slurry in the CMP process. In this way, the CMP method can remove the substance of the substrate and flatten the surface of the substrate. The iodate-containing abrasive slurry used in the Li 1 tungsten CMP process can suppress static corrosion. Although the iodate-based abrasive slurry can successfully suppress the static energy, it still has the following undesired properties: ⑴ The particles with larger friction are required to remove tungsten oxide, but it will cause scratches on the surface of the substrate (2) It is necessary to decompose the code of Zhoudang to meet the established environmental regulations. ⑺ Grinding equipment Contact with light-holding equipment can cause the equipment to turn into an undesired tan. & In U.S. Patent No. 5,958,288, Muellei mentioned that a 3 iron oxidant such as iron nitrate can be used as a catalyst to promote the removal of tungsten when the iron content is less than 30 ⑽. The problem with these slurries is that static etching of tungsten is a common side effect. After the CMP process, the residue on the surface of the substrate < metal polishing slurry will continue to etch the surface of the substrate. Sometimes, static etching has a beneficial effect on some semiconductor integration schemes. However, in most cases, 'reducing static etching can improve semiconductor performance. In addition, static weather can cause surface defects such as pitting and keyholes. These surface defects can significantly affect the final properties of semiconductor components and limit their use.

However, to date, these compounds have limited effectiveness in controlling static etching. For the current tungsten polishing slurry. The requirements for sustained and stomach-sucking properties are fast crane removal rate and limited static margin. In addition, a polishing slurry is also needed, which can reduce the scratches, environmental pollution and appearance problems caused by the use of iodine.salt-containing polishing slurry. 83530 415220 [Summary of the invention] The present invention provides a tungsten CMP solution for flattening the surface of a semiconductor wafer. The solution includes a primary oxidant, which has sufficient oxidizing power to emulsify tungsten metal into an oxide crane, and the crane CMP solution. It still has a -static # engraving rate to remove tungsten metal; a secondary oxidant, which can reduce the static silver engraving rate of tungsten CMP solution. The secondary oxidant is selected from the group consisting of bromate and chlorate; abrasive particles of GS5G by weight; and the remaining part of water and non-major impurities. On the other hand, the present invention provides a tungsten wafer CMP solution for flattening the surface of a semiconductor wafer. The tungsten CMP solution includes a main oxidizing agent containing iron, which has sufficient oxidizing power to oxidize crane metal to thorium oxide, and the Tungsten CMP solution still has a quiet etching rate to remove tungsten metal; a secondary oxidant used in the polishing method, which can reduce the quiet engraving rate of the red MP solution, the secondary oxidation sword is 4 free bromate, gas In the group consisting of acid salts and iodates; grinding particles with a weight ratio of 100 to 100 knives; and the remainder of water and non-major impurities. [Embodiment] At present, it is known that secondary oxidants such as bromate, chlorate and iodate will react to form a thin film covering the surface of tungsten, and will also form an effective solution for tungsten polishing solutions and grinding slurry. Its inhibitor. For the purposes of this specification, polishing solutions refer to aqueous polishing solutions, which may and may not include abrasives. If the polishing solution contains abrasives, the polishing solution is also a polishing slurry.泫 It light solution oxidizes tungsten metal to tungsten oxide by a strong oxidant with sufficient oxidation ability. In the best case, the main oxidant is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen oxide, ferricyanide, dichromate, vanadium trioxide, hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite, nitrate, persulfate, and permanganese. Acid, hydroxide, and combinations thereof. Other specific examples include ferricyanide, ferric chloride steel, dichromic acid unloading, heavy acid steel, hypochlorous acid # 5, hypochlorous acid, sodium hypochlorite, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, potassium permanganate, Sodium manganese and its composition. Mixtures of these primary oxidants usually increase the removal rate even more. The polishing solution typically contains a total of 0.1 to 12 weight percent of the primary oxidant (for the purposes of this specification, all concentrations are expressed in weight percent unless otherwise mentioned). When adding such unstable primary oxidants (such as hydrogen peroxide) to the polishing solution, it is usually necessary to add it during or before use. Preferably, the polishing solution typically contains the main oxide M in a total amount of 05 to 10% by weight. Preferably, the polishing solution typically contains a total of 1 to 7.5 weight percent of the main oxidant. Case 4 'The main oxidant contains hydrogen peroxide or -iron-containing oxidation 2 * is preferred &lt; The case is that the main oxidant is an iron-containing oxidant. Carrier Oxidation can provide fast crane removal rate even at low concentrations. The best $ 丨 main, @ / 1 ^ is that adding 0.0005 to 10 weight percent of ferric nitrate can increase the removal of tungsten. The best case is that the slurry contains 0.001 to 8 heavy layers. &Quot; & quot 5Γ eight ^ knife ratio of iron nitrate. In addition, the polishing solution contains 2 to • ferrous nitrate with a wide range of heavy gas, which is more effective for forming the suppression layer. ^ 4a rhenium tungsten bond forms a static etch suppression layer. The inhibitory compound g forms a p on the surface of the substrate to form a surface film that prevents the metal oxide from dissolving. This barrier can effectively prevent the ps ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ required to level the surface of the tungsten phlegmatizing agent. In addition to the ', y, and barrier films, the secondary oxidant also has an oxidizing power of 83530 200415220 to oxidize tungsten. However, this secondary oxidant did not contribute much to the total tungsten oxidation reaction. However, in the case of high iron nitrate content, higher concentrations of secondary oxidants have a significant contribution to the oxidation reaction of tungsten. For most primary oxidants, the secondary oxidant is bromate (BrO3), chlorate (CIO3), or a mixture thereof. However, in the case of the iron-containing primary oxidant &lt; drip liquid, the secondary oxidant may be bromate, chlorate, iodate, or a mixture thereof. Unfortunately, mothate-containing abrasives often have the disadvantages of expensive environmental disposal costs and discoloration in appearance. However, this problem is less severe in terms of the high amount of dark reddish brown that is induced by the fall of ferric nitrate. The better h / brother is that the solid compound can make the addition of bromate, chlorate, and broken salt to the polishing solution and grinding slurry more efficient. Specific examples of such compounds include alkali metals such as ammonium, potassium, sodium and the like; alkaline earth metals such as magnesium or other salts. Basic amidine compounds are more readily available or synthetic. Preferably, the solid powdery compound is potassium bromate (KBr03), potassium chlorate (KC1 ...), potassium iodate (KI03), or a mixture thereof. Based on environmental considerations, this type of potassium compound Che steel or earth metal is preferred. In addition, chlorine, bromine or iodine may be added to the polishing solution as a basic ingredient or other compound. The primary oxidant will react with rapid kinetics, respectively, to oxidize these secondary oxidants, i.e. bromate, chlorate, or broken salt; because such primary oxidants lack the ability to oxidize gas &lt; Not suitable for fluorine. Similarly, during the oxidation of tungsten, perchlorate, perbromide and perrhenate will form chlorate, bromate and iodate, respectively. Preferably, the polishing solution has a static energy etching rate of less than 400 angstroms / minute and a removal rate of at least 3000 angstroms / minute. The best case is for this 83530-10-200415220 polishing; the valley fluid has a static surname rate below 200 Angstroms / minute and a removal rate of at least 4,000 Angstroms / minute. The amount of secondary oxidant required to control stability depends on the form of the polishing solution and the specific secondary oxidant. In general, the concentration of the secondary oxidant in the metal stripping solution does not exceed its maximum solubility. In some cases, above this concentration, solid undissolved / required oxidant particles will remain in the polishing solution. Undissolved secondary oxidant particles can interfere with the polishing and etching capabilities of the polishing solution. The concentration of the desired oxidant may range from a small but effective concentration to its solubility limit in a particular polishing solution. This time, the solubility of the primary oxidant is limited by the chemical properties of the polishing solution. In the polishing solution, the solubility limit can range from 1 · 8 wt% to 22 wt%. Preferably, the concentration of the secondary oxidant The range is from 0.0001 ^% to 7.5 wt%; the best case is that the concentration of the oxidant is from 0.001 Wt% to 5 wt%. When the polishing solution contains a relatively large amount of iron nitrate (2 to 7 · 5 wt%), the polishing solution preferably contains a secondary oxidant in the range of 0.1 to 5 wt%. 〇 As the case may be, the polishing solution contains 0 to 50 Wt% of abrasive particles; / Brother, the polishing solution contains 0 to 30 wt% of abrasive particles; best case 2 is that the polishing solution contains 0 to 25 ^% of abrasive particles. When the abrasive particles are present, the tungsten oxide layer is mechanically Examples of acceptable abrasive particles include the following: oxidized oxide, trioxide, diamond, oxidized H ^ oxygen cut, carbon cut, tetranitride, trioxide, or a combination thereof: preferably, The abrasive particles are alumina or silicon dioxide; optimally, the abrasive particles are In addition, the abrasive particles are: <The average particle size is preferably less than 250 nm; the best case is 83530 -11-200415220, and the average particle size is less than 150 nm. If the polishing solution does not contain For abrasive particles, it is better to use a fixed abrasive pad. The best case is to use only a polymer pad for the solution without abrasive particles, and use a more powerful primary oxidant in combination. The liquid, as the case may be, contains a complexing agent to remove it. The typical complexing agent, when present, is a carboxylic acid, which can remove the oxidized crane from the substrate. For example, acceptable complexing agents include The following: malonic acid, lactic acid, sulfosalicylic acid (SSA), formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, caprylic acid, nonanoic acid, and mixtures thereof. Typical polishing solutions are Contains 0 to 15 wt% of the complexing agent. The best case is that the polishing liquid may contain 0.5 to 5 wt ° / o of the complexing agent. Under certain conditions, such as when the polishing solution does not contain hydrogen peroxide, the compounding agent is compounded. An agent is indispensable. Contains residual water and non-essential impurities. The best condition is that the water is deionized water. Secondly, the aqueous polishing solution can be operated at acidic or alkaline pH. Preferably, the polishing The solution is operated at an acidic pH. In the best case, the polishing solution is at a value of? 11.

In addition, the addition of potassium chlorate calls for a further increase in the solution: net second etch suppression capability (to achieve a static etch rate of 200 Angstroms / minute, and the exact amount of potassium iodide depends on the specific polishing slurry). For example, 83530 '13-200415220 Compared with the more experimental slurry solution, a chlorine &amp; a slurry slurry solution requires different concentrations of secondary inhibitors to reduce the static engraving rate below 200 Angstroms / minute. . Χ Adding a secondary oxidant selected from bromate and chlorine can provide a tungsten polishing solution with simultaneous I engraving. In addition, the surface scratches associated with the iodate abrasive slurry or a polishing solution of a mixture thereof can obviate the problem. The group consisting of thorium has fast tungsten removal rate and limited static polishing solution, which can be excluded from the traditional type. Finally, it contains bromate and chloric acid. In addition to the environment related to iodate, 83530 14-
