Description of the invention (/) In semiconductor process technology, surface flattening is an important technology for high-density lithography, because there is no high-low Only a flat surface can avoid exposure scattering, and achieve a precise pattern trans-fer. There are two types of planarization technologies: Spin-OnGlass (SOG) method and Chemical Mechanical Polishing method; printed by the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, printed by the Bayer Consumer Cooperative, etc .; After the process technology enters the Sub-Half-Micron, the spin-on glass method can no longer meet the required flatness, so chemical mechanical honing technology is now the only one that can provide very large integrated circuits (Very-Large Semiconductor Integration) VLSI), even Ultra-Large Semiconductor Integration (ULSI) process, a technology of "Global Planarization". Chemical mechanical honing technology from IBM Corporation has been successfully applied to many products developed by IBM Microelectronics. Because chemical mechanical honing technology is likely to be the only planarization process that semiconductor industry must rely on in the future, most of the current semiconductor-related factories and research institutes are fully developing chemical mechanical honing technology in order to maintain future competitive advantages. Basically, the chemical mechanical honing technology uses the principle of mechanical honing, with appropriate chemical agents (Reagent) and honing grains, to flatten the surface with uneven contours. Technology; if the process parameters are properly controlled, the chemical mechanical honing method can provide a flatness of up to 94% of the surface being honed. Although the control of the chemical mechanical honing flattening process is quite complicated, in practice, this technology is also limited by some process integration problems, such as the lack of an effective chemical mechanical honing end point detection system (End_ 3 83. 3.10,000 (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this X) This paper size is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 Zhuge (210X297 mm) Printed by the Central Consumers ’Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Consumer Cooperatives 425623 1621TW.

The end of the current chemical mechanical honing process is mainly dependent on a layer of deposited film called a stop layer, such as silicon nitride (Nitride; SnN0), to perform this task. In general, now chemical mechanical honing The development of the grinding and flattening process focuses on how to improve the planarity of the honing layer, the honing rate, the selectivity of the honing material, and the endpoint detection; the so-called selectivity here refers to The honing rate ratio of the honing process to different honing films is 値.

Vapor Deposition; CVD) deposits a first oxide layer 12 and then covers the spin-on glass 13. The material of the spin-on glass 13 is, for example, silicon dioxide. Then, the solvent contained in the spin-on glass 13 is removed by curing. And ion-implanting the spin-on glass 13 and depositing a second oxide layer 14 by CVD, such as Plasma Enhance Oxide (PEOx) »to form a sandwich-like laminated dielectric insulating layer structure In this conventional method, since the removal rate of the spin-on glass 13 is much faster than the removal rate of the second oxide layer 14, in order to avoid overpolish to the spin-on glass 13, A very thick second oxide layer 14 needs to be deposited, but this will cause time consuming when performing chemical mechanical honing, and the disadvantages of poor uniformity of the object to be honed will result.

Description of the invention (+) The structure of the buffer layer of mechanical honing. According to The above object of the present invention is to provide a buffer layer structure for chemical mechanical honing. The removal rate of spin-coated glass in the structure is much slower than that of the second oxide layer, so when honing to the interface between the second oxide layer and the spin-coated glass, the spin-coated glass can be used as a buffer layer. Therefore, the thickness of the second oxide layer need not be very thick, and the disadvantage of poor uniformity can be improved. In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, some preferred embodiments are given below. In conjunction with the attached drawings, the detailed description is as follows = Brief description of the drawings: Fig. 1 shows a process of a conventional chemical mechanical honing method.

Example Referring to FIG. 2A, a metal layer 21 having a notch with the substrate 20 due to being approximately parallel is formed on the substrate 20, and the first is made by Plasma Enhance Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). An oxide layer 22 is deposited and covers the substrate 20 and the metal layer 21. The material of the first oxide layer 22 is, for example, Silicon Rich Oxide, and the thickness is about 500-3000 A. Then, a spin coating method is used to coat a layer of the spin coating glass 23 with a thickness of 1000 to 15000 A. Then, the curing process is performed at a temperature of 250 to 500 ° C for 0.2 to 3 hours.

Description of the invention After the (f) beam, arsenic ion implantation (Ion Implant) is performed. Then, on the surface of the spin-on glass 23, a second oxide layer 24, such as a plasma oxide layer, is deposited to a thickness of 1000 to 30,000 A. The chemical-mechanical honing method hones the second oxide layer 24 to the interface between the second oxide layer 24 and the spin-on glass 23. In this structure, the removal rate of the spin-on glass 23 is faster than the removal of the second oxide layer 24. The speed is much slower. The material of this spin-on glass is Methylsilsesquioxane, which forms the structure shown in Figure 2B. Finally, referring to Figure iC, a dielectric layer is deposited on the surface of the second oxide layer 24 25, such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride, and the following processes are familiar to those skilled in the art and are not the focus of the present invention, so In the above embodiment, a buffer layer structure of chemical mechanical honing is proposed. In the buffer layer structure of the chemical mechanical honing, the removal rate of the spin-on glass is higher than that of the second oxide layer. It is much slower. Therefore, when honing to the interface between the second oxide layer and the spin-coated glass, the spin-coated glass can be used as a buffer layer, so the thickness of the second oxide layer does not need to be very thick and can improve the uniformity of the object Disadvantages of poor sexual performance. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with some preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention Changes and retouching, so the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application. = ——.------ '' 衣 --------- τ ----- -. ^ (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this I) 6 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm)
