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.

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.

The main function of this oxidant is The metal surface (surface) is oxidized into a protective film (Passivating Film), and then the protective film is polished off by mechanical action (Mechanical Act ion). In FIG. 5A, a metal layer 52 is deposited on the insulating layer 51. The metal here may be tungsten, aluminum, or copper, or metal aluminum-doped silicon and copper. The surface of this metal layer 52 is oxidized by an oxidant to form a protective film 53, First of all, by mechanical action, the higher part of the protective film is polished off, as shown in Figure 5B; because there is no protective film on the metal layer that has been polished away, the metal surface will be engraved by chemical uranium, and It will be oxidized to a protective film by the oxidant as shown in Figure 5C. Repeat the above planarization process, and finally you will get the plane shown in Figure 5D. Finally, please refer to Figure 6 'Figure 6 is in accordance with this issue 9 ί --- ^ ---- Γκν—— (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page), π £ | _ This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) Α4 specifications (2 丨 0 '297 gong) 1 4 2 2 丨 Vv {『) oc / J ο natha η Λ) Ο 2 A7 B7 Printed and printed by the employee consumer cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Description of the invention (§) The third embodiment of the invention, which shows a relationship diagram of an oxidant process technology in metal aluminum chemical mechanical grinding, the horizontal axis is the percentage ratio of oxidant (H2〇2) concentration, and the vertical axis represents removal Rate (A / min), aluminum metal doped with 1% silicon and 0.5% copper; point A to point B in the figure is the first stage, this first stage covers point B, and the oxidation rate before point B ( Ondation Rate) is less than the mechanical grinding rate; and the oxidation rate at point B is equal to the mechanical grinding rate, which is the optimal oxidant concentration for the maximum removal rate. This point B is the demarcation point of the two-stage oxidant process technology; The point indicates the second stage, which is a higher oxidant concentration, and its oxidation rate is greater than that of mechanical grinding Rate; After point B, i.e. the second stage of the manufacturing process, reduce the rate of chemical etching machine, which means reducing the chemical reaction rate. In the above third preferred embodiment, two barrels of grinding fluid and two liquid pumps are used to achieve a two-stage oxidant process, which can effectively improve the concave phenomenon in the middle of the metal plug, that is, the dish shape concave phenomenon in the middle of the metal. In the above-mentioned first, second and third embodiments, the first grinding liquid 31 and the second grinding liquid 35 are all complete grinding agents and can be directly injected onto the grinding pad 34 without mixing with each other. It is not necessary to consider whether the pH value of the mixed solution is uniform or stable during the chemical mechanical grinding process. Based on the above embodiments, it can be seen that the present invention only uses a simple two-barrel grinding liquid and two liquid pumps to achieve a two-stage process method, and can obtain many advantages, such as low cost, simple process, and multiple choices for CMP . In any two-stage process proposed by the present invention, the first-stage process is to increase the chemical effect to increase the removal rate and increase the throughput (Throughput); and the second-stage process is to reduce the chemical cost The paper standard is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Λ4 specification (2 丨 0X297mm) (please read the precautions before filling this page)
