Abstract

A chemical mechanical polishing system having a dual position slurry/rinse arm for moving between a polishing position in which slurry is supplied to a polishing pad from a location remote from the polishing pad's center, and a rinsing position in which rinsing fluid is supplied from a location above or adjacent the polishing pad's center. The rinsing fluid is preferably sprayed from one or more nozzles that extend from the edge of the polishing pad to the center of the polishing pad. Preferably, in the polishing position, the slurry/rinse arm is positioned horizontally remote from the polishing pad's center and supplies slurry to the polishing pad via a horizontally angled slurry supply line. The slurry/rinse arm may include a gimbaled brush for contacting the polishing pad when the slurry/rinse arm is in the rinsing position, and may further include brush so as to rinse particles therefrom. Rinsing fluid nozzles may also be angled to spray rinsing fluid in front of the brush, so as to prewet the polishing pad.

Description of the invention () Background of the invention (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) In the process of forming a semiconductor element 1 Before forming the subsequent layers, different layers (such as oxides) need Flattened to remove pitch or high relief. The typical planarization effect is to mechanically force the semiconductor substrate s to face down on a semi-porous polishing pad that is full of a compound with polishing effect (ie, polishing slurry), and make the polishing pad relative to the substrate s Spin. The polishing slurry reacts with the surface of the substrate, making the surface easy to remove, and the rotating movement between the polishing pad and the substrate can mechanically remove the centered oxide, and continue until the oxide level or the height fluctuation is completely removed 3 This process is usually called chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) = The first picture is a schematic top view of a traditional chemical mechanical polishing device Π The polishing device 11 includes a rotatable platform 15 on which a polishing pad with grooves is set up 17. Used to grind the semiconductor substrate S. The polishing pad 17 includes at least one groove 19 and typically has a plurality of concentric grooves 19 arranged along the outer edge of the polishing pad 17. The grinding device 1 is printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. It also includes a rotating shaft arm 2 1. A bracket or adjusting head 2 installed at the end of the rotating shaft arm 2 1 3. Such as grinding slurry / washing (s 1 urry / rinse) The source of the polishing slurry of the arm 2 5, such as a polishing pad adjuster 2 7 a mounted on the bottom surface of the adjustment head 2 3 and embedded with a diamond crystal pad, and a groove coupled to the operation of the platform 15 and resting against the polishing pad 17 The tank 19 is pressurized to the substrate mounting head 29 of the substrate S. The rotation arm 21 is coupled to the operation of the platform 15. When the rotation arm 21 is swept back and forth across the radius of the polishing pad 丨 7 in an arc, the adjustment head 2 3 is held against the polishing pad 17, as described in detail below. Grinding slurry / washing arm 2 5 series is fixed. The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (2! Ox2 @ ii ·! :) 4 34 113 、, A 7 B7 Five 'invention description () The scanning range of W 2 1 is outside, and the adjusting head 2 3 is weighed in there. In operation, the substrate S is placed face down under the substrate mounting head 29, and the substrate mounting head 29 firmly presses the substrate S against the groove portion of the polishing pad 17. The polishing slurry is introduced into the polishing pad 17 via the polishing slurry / washing arm 25, and the table 15 is rotated in the direction indicated by arrow R1. The rotating shaft f 21 scans from edge to edge in the shape movement shown by arrow S 1, and the adjustment head 2 3 rotates in the direction shown by arrow · head R2. [Groove] 9 guides a polishing slurry (not shown) between the substrate S and the polishing pad 17. The semi-porous surface of the polishing pad 17 becomes filled with polishing slurry. With the downward force of the substrate mounting head 29 and the rotation of the table 15, the polishing slurry grinds and flattens the surface of the substrate S. The diamond crystal embedded in the rotating regulator 2 7 a continuously roughens the surface of the polishing pad 17 to ensure that the polishing rate is consistent. When the polishing slurry fills the groove below the substrate mounting head 29, the downward force of the substrate mounting head 29 and the substrate S below it, in addition to the effects of other factors such as pH, temperature, and polishing itself, It is easy to compact and / or dry the slurry particles 1 in the groove 19 to form a hard mass that may move and scratch the substrate S. Therefore, a step of cleaning the polishing pad must be performed frequently to remove the chips and the consolidated polishing slurry from the polishing pad.

欲清洗研磨墊1 7時,需搬移基板裝設頭29避免與研 磨墊1 7接觸,關閉研磨漿/清洗臂2 5的研磨漿供應,並 經由研磨漿/清洗臂 2 5供給清洗液,如去離子水。為使 缺陷降至最低,該研磨墊清潔步驟最好在每一片基板S 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(<:\3)八4規格(210><2濟表%) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁)When you want to clean the polishing pad 17, you need to move the substrate mounting head 29 to avoid contact with the polishing pad 17, turn off the polishing slurry supply of the polishing slurry / washing arm 25, and supply the cleaning liquid through the polishing slurry / washing arm 25, such as Deionized water. In order to minimize defects, the polishing pad cleaning step is best applied to each piece of substrate S.
