Another inventive method of producing integrated circuit wafers includes forming a flattened metal wire layer and forming an internal dielectric layer on the metal. Over and over the wire layer to form a metal wire layer, a planarized metal wire layer, and An internal dielectric layer is formed. The plane includes a first grinding of the metal wire layer, and the first grinding forms an irregular contour on the metal wire layer. The plane also includes a grinding stop layer coated on the metal wire layer. The filling layer is then deposited on On the grinding stop layer, the thickness of the filling layer is greater than the depth of the irregular contour and the selective grinding filling layer for flattening goes down to the grinding stop layer. In a semiconductor wafer, the position of the grinding stop layer and the filling layer is per metal wire. Between the layer and the inner dielectric layer.

Any suitable material can be used as the filling layer 40, and then it is selectively ground to the grinding stop layer. For example, the filling layer 40 may include at least an HDP oxide layer, a PECVD oxide layer, a spin coating oxide layer, or a thermal flow oxide layer. Wait. Next, selective chemical mechanical polishing is performed on the semiconductor surface. The filling layer 40 is removed by grinding at a faster rate, and then ground down to the covering layer 30 as shown in FIG. 4 to produce a planar structure. For example, a ground-based slurry is used to selectively remove the oxide layer 40. The slurry containing vermiculite or other abrasives can be used to selectively remove only the filling layer 40. It is preferable to use a harder abrasive pad so that everything except the filler in the scratches 23 and the depressions 21 is removed from the surface of the cover layer. The amount of filling material left in the cover layer 30 is not very important, because the remaining filling material and cover layer are selected to be compatible with the internal dielectric material layer, and the dielectric material layer will be formed by deposition in the subsequent process. . Due to the high hardness of the nitride layer, no new defects (such as scratches) are generated. Set the step of selective chemical mechanical polishing until the coverage stops and then fill the remaining depressions with the filling material 40 "and the invention repairs the uniform thickness of the oxide plane in this way to achieve the requirements of flattening of general dielectric materials .

Next, a filling layer 40 is deposited in step 63. In step 骡 M, selective grinding is performed until the grinding stop layer 30 is applied. Then, an internal dielectric layer is formed in step 65. In the last step 66, the metal wire layer is formed and the metal wire layer is planarized and the internal dielectric layer is formed until all the metal wire layers are completed. Then, the general process is performed. In the conventional process sequence, the next metal layer is formed. The present invention does not affect the covered inner dielectric layer (in fact, the invention improves the adhesion of the inner dielectric layer), or the thickness of the structure (in fact because of the flatness Increase of 'inner dielectric layer (Thickness may increase or decrease). So 'no need to compensate for the use of additional layers in the present invention' in the general process to adopt other correction methods. Furthermore, the present invention can be used to increase all metal wire layers in the overall structure Using the present invention, the amount of over-abrasive metal in chemical mechanical polishing will be reduced. One of the important advantages of the present invention is that the process time is short, and another advantage is that when an additional bonding layer is produced, The worst contours exist.

Description of the invention (Layer: Before making the puppet, the irregular contour is repaired by chemical mechanical grinding of the metal to avoid the formation of irreparable defects. The problem solved by the present invention can occur in any form of grinding, and the present invention can also be applied to Any kind of grinding. Similarly, the present invention is effective for dielectric layers in the oxide layer of non-electrical edge chemical vapor deposition, such as t-density electrical 'oxide layer', gas-doped oxide layer and other low dielectric constant dielectrics. : For thin film materials other than silicon nitride, if they can be bonded to metal wires and have a different grinding rate from the filling material 40, they can be used as a cover layer and grinding stop I 30. In addition to plasma chemical vapor deposition The G dielectric materials of the process oxides can be used as the filling material 40 if they have different grinding rates from the cover layer / grind stop layer J. The greatest advantage of using the invention in semiconductor processes is that the invention provides compactness Structure, such as using copper dual damascene as 0.25 and 0,18 μιη wiring process, especially when there are many metal wire layers (such as four Above). And the invention is very suitable for the step of chemical mechanical polishing of the inner dielectric material. After the inner dielectric material is deposited and before the next metal layer is patterned, the invention is used to remove irregular contours. The steps of chemical mechanical grinding of the dielectric material may cause the holes to be exposed and cause the capacitance on the wafer and the wafer to change. Moreover, the chemical mechanical polishing of the internal dielectric material will leave scratches and scratches on the residual oxide layer. The traces are filled with metal, and this may also cause a short circuit to the next layer of metal. The thickness and flatness of the dielectric oxide layer in the chemical mechanical polishing standard controls whether it needs to be repeated and the thickness of the internal dielectric sealing compound is equally required.
