312645 2TWf.D0 C7ionalhan/002 Λ7 B7 經濟部中央標準局員工消費合作枉印製 五、發明説明(I ) 本發明是有關於一種金屬化學機械硏磨法 (Chemical-Mechanical Pol ishing ; CMP)平坦化技術,特 別是有關於一種利用兩個液泵(Pump )、兩桶硏磨液 (SUrry )來達成兩階段(Two step )之溫度、酸鹼度 (PH )及氧化劑(oxidizer )等製程技術。 在半導體製程技術中,表面平坦化是處理高密度微影 的一項重要技術,因沒有高低落差的平坦表面才能避免曝 光散射,而達成精密的導線圖案轉移(P a 11 e r η Transfer )。平坦化技術主要有旋塗式玻璃法(Spm-On Glass ; S0G)與化學機械硏磨法(CMP)等二種;但在半導體 製程技術進入毫微米(Sub-Half-Mi cron)之後,旋塗式玻 璃法已無法滿足所需求的平坦度,所以CMP技術是現在唯 一能提供超大型積體電路(Very-Large Semiconductor Integration;VLSI),甚至極大型積體電路(Ultra-Large Semiconductor Integration ; ULSI)製程,“全面性平坦 化(Global Planar izat ion)”的一種技術。CMP技術來自於 IBM公司,已成功地應用在IBM微電子部門所開發的諸多 產品上。因爲CMP技術極可能是將來半導體業者唯一必須 仰賴的平坦化製程,所以目前各半導體相關之工廠與硏究 機構’大多全力的開發CMP技術,以便維持往後競爭優勢。 關於習知CMP平坦化製程技術,請同時參照第1A與1B 圖’圖1A與1B分別繪示一種習知CMP平坦化製程裝置的 俯視與側視圖。其中CMP裝置包括:一硏磨台i〇(p〇ilshing Table);—握柄ll(Holder) ’用以抓住被硏磨的晶片12 ; 3 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標率(CNS ) Λ4規格(2丨0>< 297公筇) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 訂 3126 祁 4 2 2 Γ W f.

Fifth, the description of the invention (I) The present invention relates to a metal-chemical mechanical polishing method (Chemical-Mechanical Pol ishing; CMP) flattening Technology, in particular, a process technology that uses two liquid pumps (Pump) and two barrels of grinding fluid (SUrry) to achieve two-step temperature, acidity and alkalinity (PH), and oxidizer. In semiconductor process technology, surface planarization is an important technique for processing high-density lithography. Because there is no flat surface with high or low drop to avoid exposure and scattering, precise wire pattern transfer (P a 11 e r η Transfer) can be achieved. The planarization technology mainly includes spin-on glass method (Spm-On Glass; S0G) and chemical mechanical polishing method (CMP), etc .; but after the semiconductor process technology enters the nanometer (Sub-Half-Mi cron), spin The coated glass method can no longer meet the required flatness, so CMP technology is now the only one that can provide very large integrated circuits (Very-Large Semiconductor Integration; VLSI), and even very large integrated circuits (Ultra-Large Semiconductor Integration; ULSI ) Process, a technology of "Global Planar izat ion". CMP technology comes from IBM and has been successfully applied to many products developed by IBM Microelectronics. Because CMP technology is likely to be the only planarization process that the semiconductor industry must rely on in the future, most of the semiconductor-related factories and research institutes ’are mostly developing CMP technology in order to maintain future competitive advantages. Regarding the conventional CMP planarization process technology, please refer to FIGS. 1A and 1B at the same time. FIGS. 1A and 1B respectively illustrate the top and side views of a conventional CMP planarization process device. Among them, the CMP device includes: a grinding table i〇 (p〇ilshing Table);-grip ll (Holder) 'to grasp the wafer 12 being ground; 3 the paper scale is applicable to China National Standard Rate (CNS) Λ4 Specifications (2 丨 0 < 297 Gongqi) (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) Order 3126 Qi 4 2 2 Γ W f. D 0 C / J 〇natha η / 0 0 2 A7 B7 Economy Printed by the Employees ’Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry V. Invention description (>) A grinding pad 13 (P〇1 ishing Pad), paved on the grinding table 10; a tube (Tube) 丨 4, used to transport the grinding The grinding fluid 19 is applied to the grinding pad 13; and a liquid pump 15 is used to pump the grinding fluid 19 into the pipe member 14. When the CMP is performed, the grinding table 10 and the grip 11 rotate in a certain direction, as shown by arrows 18a and 18b in the figure, and the grip 11 grasps the back surface 16 of the wafer 12, and the front surface 17 of the wafer Π Press on the grinding pad 13. The pipe 14 continuously supplies the grinding fluid 19 driven by the liquid pump 15 to the grinding pad Π. Therefore, the CMP process is to use the chemical additives in the polishing liquid 19 to generate a chemical reaction on the front surface 17 of the wafer 12 to form an easy polishing layer, and then cooperate with the wafer 12 on the polishing pad 13 by polishing The mechanical grinding aided by AbrasiveParticles in Liquid 19 removes the protruding part of the easy grinding layer; by repeating the above chemical reaction and mechanical grinding, a flat surface can be formed. Basically, the CMP technology is a flattening technology that uses the principle of mechanical grinding, with appropriate chemical additives (Reagent) and abrasive grains, to "smooth" the uneven contours of the surface; if each The process parameters are properly controlled, and the CMP method can provide a flatness of up to 94% of the surface to be abraded. In the above CMP planarization technology, the grinding fluid is an important key, because the chemical additives in the grinding fluid determine the chemical reaction, and the grinding particles (Abrasive Particles) determine the removal status. Different CMP procedures for different materials use different grinding fluids, and the temperature of the grinding fluid directly affects the removal rate of the CMP planarization process (Removal Rate); therefore, the temperature of the grinding fluid is one of the important CMP processes parameter. In addition, the PH value of the grinding fluid is also an important parameter of the CMP process, because the grinding fluid 4 (please read the notes on the back before filling this page)

The chemical additives in) determine the chemical reaction, and the chemical reaction is closely related to the pH value. Generally for metal grinding fluids, the grinding grains are mainly formed by aluminum oxide powder (Ai203). In practical applications, since the metal grinding fluid contains an oxidizer (Oxidizer), the concentration of oxidizer (Concent rat ion) is also an important parameter of the CMP process. The CMP process of metal grinding must face the problem of easy precipitation of grinding particles. Generally, before using the grinding liquid, the grinding liquid in the grinding liquid cylinder will be evenly stirred with an electric stirring rod, and then it is connected to the CMP device to start grinding. Next, referring to FIGS. 2A to 2C, FIGS. 2A to 2C are side views illustrating a conventional CMP planarization process for recessing (Plug Recessed) in a metal plug. The figure only introduces the manufacturing process of the fundamental invention, and other parts not related to the present invention will not be repeated here. First, please refer to FIG. 2A, a layer of dielectric material 22 is deposited on the first metal layer 21, usually this layer of dielectric material 22 is silicon dioxide (Si〇2), after the lithography etching process, as shown in FIG. 2A Then, a second metal layer 23 is deposited, such as metal tungsten (Tungsten) or aluminum (A1) or copper (Cu), as shown in FIG. 2B; then metal chemical mechanical grinding is performed to smooth the metal layer 23; ideal The above is to grind the metal tungsten to the silicon dioxide dielectric layer, but due to the elasticity of the polishing pad and the chemical technology of the polishing liquid (Chemical Etching), it leads to the phenomenon of recession in the middle of the metal plug, that is The tungsten metal has a concave shape (Duhmg) in the middle, as indicated by arrow 24 in FIG. 2C. In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a metal flattening technology to solve the phenomenon of recessing in the middle of the metal plug and to improve the dish-shaped concave effect in the middle of the metal tungsten.
