Description of the invention (丨) The present invention relates to a chemical mechanical honing device, and in particular to a device with in-situ mixing function and stirring function. Chemical mechanical honing (CMP) honing fluid (Slurry) supply pipe fittings. After the integration degree of semiconductor devices is getting higher and higher, in order to match the increased interconnection requirements after the shrinkage of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors, the design of two or more metal layers has gradually become a large number of products. Must be used in the body circuit. However, in order to make the fabrication of multi-metal interconnects easier and the transferred wire patterns are more accurate, how to flatten the undulating surface of the wafer is very important. In addition, wafer planarization is the main factor that affects the alignment accuracy of the alignment system. If the wafer planarization is not done well, then not only the alignment system cannot accurately align the mask to the wafer, but also Increased chance of errors in the process. CMP can be said to be the only new technology that can provide very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI), or even very large scale integrated circuit (ULSI) process, "Global Planarization". It is mainly a flattening technique that uses the principle of a mechanical honing similar to a sharpening knife and cooperates with appropriate chemical agents (Reagent) to reduce the unevenness of the surface of the wafer. In the CMP process, we usually refer to the chemical additives used as mortar or honing fluid. The honing fluid used in CMP is mainly composed of colloidal silica (Silica), or dispersed (Dispersed) alumina (Alumina), and alkaline potassium hydroxide (KOH) or hydrogen It is a mixture of ammonium oxide (NH4〇h) temple solution. These extremely hard honing particles are applicable to the national standard (CNS) at the honing 3 g scale.

Description of the invention (into) The size distribution in the liquid is about 0.1 ~ 2 · 0! 1111. Basically, we use these highly abrasive particles in the honing liquid to perform wafer surface honing. "* In CMP technology, the supply of honing fluid has an important impact on the stability of the process. As the honing liquid 逋, air 浔, concentrated formula, it needs to be diluted with water when used, or several I must be mixed with the honing liquid. Therefore, in the conventional art, it is often necessary to add an additional premixer (Premixe 〇'The blending honing liquid is mixed in an appropriate ratio, and the honing liquid is introduced into the / CMP machine for use after mixing. Furthermore, when the honing liquid is mixed, its characteristics usually change with the mixing time and make the hemp process ability. The change 'so usually when the honing fluid is mixed, it needs to be used up within a certain time' This time is called "Pot Life". Because of the stability of the wood after the honing fluid is mixed, and the need for additional Mixing equipment, so some people put forward the concept of in-situ mixing fluid (In-Situ Mixing). However, some people think that the mixing time is short, so the mixing effect is poor, making the quality of honing fluid difficult to control. In view of this An object of the present invention is to provide a small pipe fitting. Through the design of the pipe fitting, the mixing effect of the honing liquid can be strengthened, and the disadvantage that the mixing in the field is difficult to be uniform is improved.

The diameter of the inner tube 104 is smaller than that of the outer tube 102, and the cross-sectional shape of the inner tube 104 is similar to the hollow "T" shape. In addition, the 'inner tube 104 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise inside the outer tube 102. Taking a cross-sectional view (the shape shown in FIG. 2) as an example, both ends of the inner tube 104 are closed 'and an opening 118 is provided below the inner tube 104. The direction of the opening II8 of the inner tube 104 is the same as the direction of the opening 108 of the outer tube 102. One end of one side of the inner tube 104 is formed with a plurality of small holes 120, and the other end of the other side is formed with a plurality of small holes 122. In addition, in the present invention, the diameters of the small holes 120 and 122 are not limited, and a certain diameter only needs to be larger than the size of the solid substance in the honing liquid. The position of the small hole 12o and I22, which is worth noting, does not correspond to each other (please refer to Figure 1), that is, the small holes in the inner tube 104 are divided by the small holes 120 and 22 At the time of spurting, the fishing moments generated will not offset each other.

Material. Generally, the pump that drives the honing fluid is a pulsed pump. Therefore, the honing fluid's delivery behavior may be different due to the pulse peak period and the pulse off-peak time. When the honing fluid is squeezed into the inner tube 104 at the pulse spike and sprayed out from the small holes 120 and 122, it will cause the inner tube 104 to rotate and simultaneously stir the honing fluid inside the inner tube 104 and the outer tube 102 to reach The purpose of mixing evenly. However, the present invention is not limited to such pulsed pumps, and the present invention is also applicable to other non-pulsed pumps. Therefore, when the fluid supply pipe 100 is used to supply the CMP honing fluid, the CMP honing fluid can be stirred in the fluid supply pipe 1000. In addition, the fluid supply pipe 100 is particularly suitable for mixing honing fluid on the spot. , Which can stabilize the CMP process honing rate. It can be known from the above-mentioned preferred embodiments of the present invention that the pipe fittings with stirring function proposed by the present invention can mix and stir the liquid. Therefore, if the liquid to be passed into the pipe is a composite liquid, the liquid in the pipe can be immediately stirred through the pipe proposed by the present invention to uniformly mix the composite liquid in the pipe. In addition, the pipe fittings proposed by the present invention can be used not only for supplying liquids, but also for supplying gas, etc., so they can also be referred to as fluid supply fittings with on-site mixing functions.
