DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an integrated circuit manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly to a chemical mechanical polishing system. [Prior Art] Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is a general implementation of integrated circuit forming. In general, chemical mechanical polishing is applied to the planarization process of semiconductor wafers. Chemical mechanical polishing uses both physical and chemical forces to polish wafers. When the wafer is on a polishing pad, a load force is applied to the back side of a wafer. Next, when the slurry containing one of the corrosive and reactive chemicals passes underneath, the polishing pad and the wafer are reversed. Chemical mechanical polishing is an effective way to achieve planarization of the entire wafer. Figure 1 is a schematic view of a slurry distribution chemical mechanical polishing system comprising a polishing head 2, a film 4, a wafer 6 and a polishing pad 8. The wafer 6 is attached to the film 4, and the polishing pad 8 is in contact with the wafer 6 during the polishing process. The polishing pad 8 is attached to a platform 10, and the platform 10 is rotated at a fixed rotational speed. A slurry distribution system 12 can dispense the slurry to the upper surface of the polishing pad 8. The polishing head 2 will move back and forth between the center and the edge of the polishing pad 8. Due to the movement of the polishing head 2 and the polishing pad 8, the slurry will be distributed on the wafer 6 through the grooves (not shown) in the polishing pad 8 and grinding. Between pads 8. The chemicals and corrosive substances in the slurry can act on the wafer 6. However, conventionally, the slurry distribution chemical mechanical polishing system has some disadvantages of 0503-A32537TWF/Hawdong 5 200807529. First, not all of the slurry is dispensed between the wafer 6 and the polishing pad 8. Therefore, a large part of the slurry will be wasted. Second, the slurry often flows from the edge of the wafer 6 to the underside, thereby causing the polishing at the edge of the wafer 6 to be more than the polishing at the center of the wafer 6. Figure 2 shows a conventional slurry distribution chemical mechanical polishing system. The lower slurry distribution chemical mechanical polishing system is similar to the upper slurry distribution chemical mechanical polishing system except that the slurry is dispensed via the lower dispensing system 14. The lower dispensing system 14 penetrates the polishing pad 8 and distributes the slurry in a manner similar to a fountain. Since the slurry can be directly dispensed between the wafer 6 and the polishing pad 8, the waste of the lower slurry distribution chemical mechanical polishing system is small. However, removing the used slurry can be quite difficult. In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a chemical mechanical polishing system that utilizes the advantages of existing chemical mechanical polishing systems to overcome the shortcomings of conventional chemical mechanical polishing systems.

The upper slurry distribution system 120 has a top researcher I I water dispenser I22, a pump I24 and a slurry storage tank 126, and a knife distribution system 220 has a slurry slurry distributor 222, Capture the 22^ and the slurry storage 226. The lower slurry distributor 222 passes over the polishing pad 3 through an opening and distributes the slurry upward onto the polishing pad 30. The lower slurry distributor 222 is connected to a conduit 23A. The conduit 23 is = 2 = two: and the conduit 230 is connected to the slurry storage system, and the system 220 preferably has a valve 228, and the 〇503-A32537TWF/Hawdong 9 200807529 valve 228 can be used to adjust the flow rate of the slurry and/or to turn on/off the slurry flow. In the case where the upper slurry distribution system 120 and the lower slurry distribution system 220 are combined, significant flexibility can be achieved and customized requirements for different grinding processes can be satisfied, which will not only improve the grinding quality, but also Can reduce costs. For chemical mechanical polishing systems with dual distribution systems, the advantage is that the ingredients in the slurry can be classified into different groups and can be dispensed from different slurry distribution systems. In a first embodiment, the components of the slurry are classified as a key component and a non-critical component. Preferably, the non-critical ingredients comprise ingredients which do not substantially affect the results of the CMP, whether the non-critical ingredients are dispensed by the upper slurry distributor 122 or the lower slurry distributor 222. For example, non-critical components may include corrosive agents such as SiO 2 or ai 2 o 3 . The key components preferably include components that are important for the chemical mechanical polishing process, such as those used to increase polishing rate, corrosion control, and profile control. In an exemplary embodiment, the copper corrosion inhibitor benzotriazole diene (BTA) is classified as a critical component and is thus preferably dispensed from the lower slurry distributor 222. In a second embodiment, the ingredients of the slurry are classified as expensive and non-angular. Preferably, non-expensive ingredients (e.g., humic substances and H202) are dispensed from the upper slurry distributor 122, and expensive components (e.g., BTA) are dispensed from the lower slurry distributor 222. The slurry component dispensed from the lower slurry distributor 222 is less likely to be wiped away from the polishing pad 30 prior to contact with the wafer 26, and thus is less wasted. On the other hand, the slurry component dispensed from the upper slurry distributor 122 is more likely to be wasted. Some slurry ingredients cannot be premixed. For example, if the cortisol and the additive are premixed, the deposit will be produced in the slurry after a period of time. In a third embodiment of the invention, these forms of slurry (which cannot be premixed) are preferably dispensed as individual components and then mixed onto the polishing pad 30. Since the slurry that cannot be premixed deteriorates over time, it can preferably be operated on the wafer for a short period of time after the slurry that cannot be premixed is mixed. However, if the slurry that cannot be premixed is dispensed by the same dispenser, it has been a long time before it comes into contact with the wafer 26. If the slurry composition is dispensed by a different dispenser, the different slurry components will remain unmixed until the polishing head 22 wipes through the different slurry components and mixes them. The time period φ between when the slurry component is mixed and when the slurry component is in contact with the wafer is thus greatly reduced. In a fourth embodiment, the same slurry is dispensed from the upper slurry distributor 122 and the lower slurry distributor 222, and the slurry is distributed by the upper slurry distributor 122 and the lower slurry distributor 222. The amounts can be the same or different. The slurry dispensed by the lower slurry distributor 222 is more likely to operate on the center of the wafer 26 and thus tends to produce a better abrasive rate at the center of the wafer 26. The slurry dispensed by the upper slurry distributor 122 is more likely to operate on the edge of the wafer 26 and thus tends to produce a better abrasive rate at the edge of the wafer 26. The amount of slurry from the upper slurry distributor 122 and the lower slurry distributor 222 can be adjusted by predetermining the ground wafer 0503-A32537TWF/Hawdong 11 200807529 to obtain a more uniform wafer surface. . Chemical mechanical polishing processes are dependent on metals (e.g., copper) and on non-all genus (e.g., 'oxide, nitride, and porous low-k dielectric materials'): the tendency of different mechanisms. Chemical mechanical polishing of metals relies on chemical effects (eg, oxidation), while chemical mechanical polishing of non-metals relies on machine; effects (eg, abrasion). As described above, in the fifth embodiment, the chemically-developed polymerized component is preferably dispensed by a different dispenser than the slurry component having a mechanical effect. In an exemplary embodiment, if h2〇2 (which oxidizes copper and thus softens the copper) is dispensed by the lower slurry distributor 222, a faster chemical mechanical polishing rate can be achieved. Further, a different number of h2〇2 can be dispensed from the lower slurry dispenser milk and the upper slurry distributor 122 to further adjust the wafer rim. The deionized water can be dispensed from the upper research distributor 122 or/and the lower research distributor 222. Preferably, in the previously described embodiments, the fractionation of the deionized water will be classified according to the criteria previously described. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the optimal distribution of deionized water. - in the sixth, the arm or the (four) part is a groove classified as a barrier component (which is easy to block the abrasive 塾 3{)) and a non-blocking component (which is relatively easy to remove from the polishing pad 30) . Examples of non-blocking ingredients include, but are not limited to, dilution polymerization and solutions. Examples of blocking components include, but are not limited to, corrosive materials. Preferably, the blocking component is dispensed by the upper slurry distributor m, and the non-blocking component is distributed by the lower slurry distributor. Therefore, the polishing pad 30 is less likely to block. 〇 503-A32537TWF/Hawdong 12 200807529 In the previously described embodiment, the dispensing of the upper slurry distributor 122 and the lower slurry distributor 222 can be performed using a synchronous or asynchronous mode. In the synchronous mode, the slurry component is dispensed by both the upper slurry distributor 122 and the lower slurry distributor 222. In the non-synchronous mode, the slurry components are dispensed from the upper slurry distributor 122 and the lower slurry distributor 222 at different times. Due to the presence of more than one dispenser, the mode employed will affect the results of the CMP process. For example, to grind copper, hydrogen peroxide (H202) is used to oxidize and thus soften the copper surface. The copper oxide can then be removed by the etchant. On the other hand, the copper corrosion inhibitor benzotriazole diene (BTA) reduces the rate of chemical mechanical polishing. Thus, in an exemplary embodiment, the BTA is dispensed by the lower slurry distributor 222 and the 11202 is dispensed by the upper slurry distributor 122. In order to stabilize the chemical mechanical polishing process, BTA and H202 may be dispensed asynchronously, wherein the BTA is removed by the lower slurry distributor 222 before H202 is dispensed from the upper slurry distributor 122 to reduce the rate of chemical mechanical polishing. Distribute and operate on wafer 26 for a period of time. Conversely, the BTA can be dispensed from the upper slurry distributor 122 and the H202 can be dispensed from the lower slurry distributor 222 to speed up the rate of chemical mechanical polishing. In this case, the time between the distribution of BTA and H202 will determine the rate of chemical mechanical polishing. The distribution system requires regular maintenance, which is usually referred to as preventive maintenance. In a conventional chemical mechanical polishing system having only one slurry distribution system, when the slurry distribution system is subjected to preventive maintenance, the entire chemical mechanical polishing system must be stopped. However, in a chemical mechanical polishing system with two or more 0503-A32537TWF/Hawdong 13 200807529 slurry distribution systems, when a slurry distribution system is subjected to preventive maintenance, other slurry distribution systems can still support chemical machinery. The operation of the grinding system. Therefore, the utilization rate of the chemical mechanical polishing system will be improved. Figure 4 shows a chemical mechanical polishing system having a cleaning system 320. In one embodiment, the cleaning system 320 includes a valve 328 and a pump 324 that is coupled to the lower slurry distributor 222. When the slurry distribution system 220 is in operation, the valve 228 will open and the valve 328 will close. When the cleaning system 320 is operating, the valve 328 will open and the valve 228 will close. The cleaning system 320 can perform two functions. First, the cleaning system 320 can dispense a cleaning solution onto the polishing pad 30. With valve 228 and valve 328, slurry reservoir 226 may not have to be empty to dispense the cleaning solution. Second, the cleaning system 320 can also remove used slurry from the polishing pad 30. In an alternative embodiment, the lower slurry distribution system 220 can have individual conduits from one of the cleaning systems 320, and the individual configurations thereof are shown in FIG. The foregoing preferred embodiment is illustrated with only two slurry distributors. However, more slurry distribution systems can be added to meet the customized requirements of the chemical mechanical polishing process. An exemplary embodiment of an additional slurry distribution system is shown in Figure 6. In one embodiment, a third slurry distributor 422 is placed on the polishing pad 30, and the third slurry distributor 422 and the upper slurry distributor 122 respectively distribute the slurry onto the polishing pad 30. The difference is. For example, the third slurry distributor 422 and the upper slurry distributor 122 are disposed on opposite sides of the polishing pad 30, respectively. In other embodiments, 0503-A32537TWF/Hawdong 14 200807529, a third slurry distributor 522 is adjacent to the lower slurry distributor 222, but is distributed by the third slurry distributor 522 and the lower slurry distributor 222. The slurry (not premixed) is not the same. Each of the third slurry distributors 422 and 522 can be connected to the same slurry reservoir as the one of the upper slurry distributor 122 or the lower slurry distributor 222, and thus can be like the upper slurry distributor 122 or the lower The slurry distributor 222 is similarly dispensed with the same slurry. Alternatively, each of the third slurry distributors 422 and 522 can be coupled to an individual slurry reservoir and thus can be dispensed differently than the different distributions of the upper and lower slurry distributors 122 and 222.
