Definitions
- This invention pertains to a chemical-mechanical polishing composition and a method of polishing a substrate using the same.
- PVD physical vapor deposition
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- PECVD plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
- ECP electrochemical plating
- Planarizing a surface is a process where material is removed from the surface of the substrate to form a generally even, planar surface. Planarization is useful in removing undesired surface topography and surface defects, such as rough surfaces, agglomerated materials, crystal lattice damage, scratches, and contaminated layers or materials. Planarization is also useful in forming features on a substrate by removing excess deposited material used to fill the features and to provide an even surface for subsequent levels of metallization and processing.
- CMP chemical-mechanical planarization
- a substrate carrier or polishing head is mounted on a carrier assembly and positioned in contact with a polishing pad in a CMP apparatus.
- the carrier assembly provides a controllable pressure to the substrate, urging the substrate against the polishing pad.
- the pad is moved relative to the substrate by an external driving force.
- the relative movement of the pad and substrate serves to abrade the surface of the substrate to remove a portion of the material from the substrate surface, thereby polishing the substrate.
- the polishing of the substrate by the relative movement of the pad and the substrate typically is further aided by the chemical activity of the polishing composition and/or the mechanical activity of an abrasive suspended in the polishing composition.
- noble metals are mechanically hard and chemically resistant. Indeed, the term noble metal was adopted to describe the metals' superior resistance to corrosion and oxidation. This mechanical hardness and relative chemical resistance make noble metals much more difficult to efficiently polish using conventional chemical-mechanical polishing compositions and techniques.
- WO 01/44396 A1 discloses a polishing composition for noble metals comprising sulfur-containing compounds, abrasive particles, and water-soluble organic additives which purportedly improve the dispersion of the abrasive particles and enhance metal removal rates and selectivity.
- each of the aforementioned chemical-mechanical polishing compositions might be capable of polishing noble metals more efficiently than conventional chemical-mechanical polishing compositions, the compositions also can produce defects on the surface of the substrate that can negatively impact the performance of any integrated circuit later manufactured from the substrate. Furthermore, the halogen- and sulfur-containing compounds utilized in the aforementioned polishing compositions can be highly toxic (which can complicate the polishing process by requiring specialized handling equipment and/or procedures), expensive to produce, and/or expensive to properly dispose of in accordance with environmental regulations.
