Description of the invention (() The present invention relates to the planarization process in the integrated circuit manufacturing process, and in particular to a chemical mechanism polishing (CMP) process for cleaning Rinse solution on the surface of the subsequent polycrystalline sand film. For non-volatile memory such as EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), EEPROM (Electrical Erasable Programmable ROM) or flash memory, its floating The oxide sand film between the Floating Gate and the Control Gate needs a low leakage current and a high breakdown electric field to preserve the data in the memory cell. Due to the uneven thickness of the polycrystalline silicon oxide film and The rough polycrystalline silicon / polycrystalline silicon oxide film interface will cause high leakage current and low breakdown electric field, so the process needs to rely on a good polycrystalline sand film planarization process (Planarization process) to improve this problem. Currently widely used in the industry The planarization technology includes a spin-on glass method (Spin-On Glass, SOG) and a chemical mechanical polishing method (Chemical Mechanism Polishing, CMP). Among them, chemical Mechanical honing is the only technology that can provide comprehensive flattening in VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) and even ULSI (Ultra-Large Scale Integration) processes. Its principle is to use the role of mechanical honing and cooperate with appropriate chemistry Auxiliary technology is used to smooth the contour of the wafer surface. The equipment for chemical mechanical honing usually includes a honing table for wafer honing and a grip for holding the honed wafer. When performing chemical mechanical honing, 'hold the back of the wafer with a handle, and then press the front side of the wafer on a honing table with a layer of honing pad. At this time, the chemical The auxiliary extension pipe is continuously supplied on the honing pad. The chemical paper provided by the chemical auxiliary is used. 3 The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) ---------- ------ l · I--Order --- i IIII 1 ^ (Please read the note on the back?

Description of the invention (the) Chemical reaction and wafer honing The mechanical honing on the table gradually flattens the uneven deposits on the wafer. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page.) The chemical additives used in the chemical mechanical honing process are generally referred to as Sluiry (Sluiry), in which honing the dielectric layer of honing slurry is usually made of colloidal silica plus alkaline potassium hydroxide or ammonia water mixed, and honing tungsten metal honing slurry is usually made by dispersion Blended with alumina and ferric nitrate. However, chemical mechanical honing is a process that is very prone to contamination. This is because there are often many particulate contaminants that are not easily removed on the wafer surface after chemical mechanical honing. Outside of the paddle, it also comes from the honing wafer itself. In addition, metal ion contamination remaining on the wafer surface is another disadvantage of chemical mechanical honing. Some wafers (such as polycrystalline sand or political surfaces) will be left on the surface of the silicon wafer after 'honed particles and metal ion contamination after traditional chemical mechanical honing. Among them, the honed particles will form defects in the ultra-large integrated circuit. The fast-diffusing metal ions can generate many crystal phase defects in silicon wafers with only a little concentration during high temperature processing. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. To remove pollutants generated by chemical mechanical honing, a cleaning step must be added after chemical mechanical honing. So far, the integrated circuit manufacturing plants have used diluted ammonia to remove particles. It uses brushing, spray cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning, and cooperates with the chemical action of ammonia solution to achieve cleanliness on the wafer surface. The effect. The principle of ammonia particle removal is to corrode the surface of the silicon wafer and make the particles have the same charge as the surface of the silicon wafer, and they repel each other. However, since the honing particles and metal ions will remain on the hydrophobic surface of the polycrystalline silicon, it will not be easily removed by the ammonia solution. Therefore, the 4 paper sizes will be applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm). 494020 A7 B7 6663twf.doc / 006 V. Description of the invention (>) Product yield reduction. Methods for removing contaminants generated on the wafer surface after chemical mechanical honing have been found in many literatures. For example, a paper published by N. Miyashita et al. At the CMP-MIC conference in 1996-"A new post CMP cleaning method for trench isolation process" "This method uses chemical mechanical honing with a surfactant to keep the surface of the polycrystalline silicon film hydrophilic after chemical mechanical honing, and eliminates the waste while honing. However, the cleaning solutions of the above-mentioned conventional techniques cannot effectively remove metal contaminants, and cannot effectively improve the properties of the wafer surface after chemical mechanical honing. Therefore, the industry is still actively seeking a kind of pollutants (such as particulates and metal contaminants) that can effectively remove the chemical mechanical honing of the wafer surface, but it is not necessary to use strong acid chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid as in the traditional RCA procedure. At the same time, it is a more economical chemical cleaning solution after honing. The present invention provides a cleaning solution for cleaning the surface of a polycrystalline silicon film after chemical mechanical honing. It is added with an surfactant and a chelating agent in an ammonia solution to reduce the residual particles and metal ions on the wafer. Pollution. The technical improvement of the present invention is to add a surfactant to the ammonia solution traditionally used for chemical mechanical honing, and select different chelating agents. The use of a chelating agent can reduce the content of metal ionic contaminants such as calcium, iron, chromium, copper, zinc, and potassium on the wafer, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the ammonia solution. The chelating agent suitable for the present invention is a chelating agent containing a carboxyl group (-CO〇l ·!) 5 The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) " ------ ----------- r --- Order ----------- line (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Preparation 494020 A7 B7 6663twf.doc / 006 V. Description of the invention (Zf) agent, such as ethylenediaminotetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid, oxalic acid, ammonium triacetate, or ethylene glycol _Di _ (/ 5_amino_ethyl ether) -N, N-tetraacetic acid and so on. The amount of the chelating agent ranges from ippm to 1000 ppm, preferably from 5 ppm to 5000 ppm, and more preferably from 10 ppm to 1000 ppm. In the cleaning process after chemical mechanical honing, when an appropriate amount of the above-mentioned honey-containing compound (-COOH) is added to the ammonia solution, the stable group of the chelating agent can react with metal ions to form a stable metal chelate. Compound (Metal-chelate), so it can effectively remove the metal ions that cause pollution. In addition, the surfactant added in the alkaline ammonia solution can change the surface of the film subjected to chemical mechanical honing from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, so that the removal ability of the ammonia solution to the particles is greatly improved. The “surfactant” as used in the present invention refers to a chemical component known in the industry to reduce the surface tension between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. For example, the surfactant may be a tetra-substituted ammonium hydroxide. The substituent is preferably a linear or branched CrC2Q alkyl group, among which tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, Tetrapentyl ammonium hydroxide, tetrahexyl ammonium hydroxide, tetraheptyl ammonium hydroxide, or tetraoctyl ammonium hydroxide. The ratio of the ammonium hydroxide to the surfactant in the ammonia solution is from 1: 1 to 50000: 1, preferably from 5: 1 to 10000: 1, more preferably from 10: 1 to 5000: 1, and even better From 10: 1 to 1000: 1.
