Definitions
- the present invention relates to an abrasive used in a manufacturing process of a semiconductor integrated circuit device (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a semiconductor device) and a polishing method. More particularly, the present invention relates to an abrasive for chemical mechanical polishing suitable for forming and planarizing a buried metal wiring, and a polishing method using the same.
- copper As a wiring material, copper has attracted attention because of its low specific resistance and superior electromigration resistance compared to conventionally used aluminum alloys. Copper has a low vapor pressure of its chloride gas, and it is difficult to process into a wiring shape by reactive ion etching (RIE), so a damascene method is used to form wiring.
- RIE reactive ion etching
- CMP Chemical Mechanical Polishing
- a barrier layer made of a tantalum compound such as tantalum, tantalum alloy or tantalum nitride is formed in order to prevent diffusion of copper into the insulating layer. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the exposed barrier layer by CMP except for the wiring portion where copper is embedded.
- CMP the barrier layer is very hard compared to copper, a sufficient polishing rate cannot often be obtained. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, a two-step polishing method has been proposed which includes a first polishing step for removing an excess metal wiring layer and a second polishing step for removing an excess barrier layer.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a method of forming a buried wiring by CMP.
- FIG. 1 (a) is before polishing
- FIG. 1 (b) is after the first polishing step for removing the excess metal wiring layer
- FIG. 1 (c) is in the middle of the second polishing step for removing the excess barrier layer.
- FIG. 1 (d) shows the state after the second polishing step.
- a cap layer made of an insulating material such as silicon dioxide may be formed between the insulating layer and the barrier layer.
- FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D illustrate the case where there is a cap layer.
- the cap layer may not be provided.
- a groove for forming the buried wiring is formed in the insulating layer 2 on the substrate 1.
- an excess portion of the metal wiring layer 5 is removed in a first polishing step.
- an excess portion of the barrier layer 4 is removed in the second polishing step.
- the metal wiring layer 5 called dishing 6 is reduced as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the second polishing step, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the excess portion of the barrier layer 4 is completely removed, the cap layer 3 is further removed, and as shown in FIG. 1 (d), If necessary, it is necessary to cut the insulating layer 2 so as to have the same height (level) as the metal wiring layer 5 to achieve a high level of flatness.
- the copper buried wiring 7 is formed.
- FIG. 1D shows a state in which the cap layer 3 is completely removed and flattened.
- CMP using a conventional abrasive has a problem that dishing and erosion of copper embedding (metal wiring layer 5) increase.
- dishing refers to a state in which the metal wiring layer 5 is excessively polished and the central portion is depressed as indicated by reference numeral 6 in FIG. 1C and FIG. 2, and is likely to occur in a wide wiring portion. .
- Erosion is likely to occur in thin wiring portions or dense wiring portions.
- the erosion is an insulating layer of the wiring portion as compared with the insulating layer portion (Global portion) 9 having no wiring pattern. 2 is a phenomenon in which the insulating layer 2 is partially thinned due to excessive polishing. That is, an erosion 8 portion polished further than the polishing portion 10 of the global portion 9 is generated.
- the cap layer 3 and the barrier layer 4 are not shown.
- the polishing rate of the barrier layer 4 is lower than the polishing rate of the metal wiring layer 5, so that the copper in the wiring part is excessively polished while the barrier layer 4 is polished and removed, resulting in large dishing. 6 had occurred.
- the polishing pressure applied to the barrier layer 4 and the insulating layer 2 below the high-density wiring portion is higher than that of the portion having a low wiring density, the degree of progress of polishing in the second polishing step is larger due to the wiring density. Different. As a result, the insulating layer 2 in the high-density wiring portion was excessively polished, and a large erosion 8 was generated. When dishing 6 or erosion 8 occurs, there is a problem that wiring resistance increases and electromigration easily occurs, and the reliability of the device is lowered.
- the tantalum and tantalum compound used as the barrier layer 4 are difficult to chemically etch and have a higher hardness than copper, so that removal by mechanical polishing is not easy. If the hardness of the abrasive grains is increased in order to increase the polishing rate of the barrier layer 4, scratches are generated in the copper wiring having a lower hardness, and problems such as electrical defects are likely to occur. Further, when the concentration (content ratio) of abrasive grains in the abrasive is increased, it becomes difficult to maintain the dispersed state of the abrasive grains in the abrasive, resulting in problems such as sedimentation and gelation over time. Likely to happen.
- BTA benzotriazole
- Non-Patent Document 1 a corrosion inhibitor for copper and copper alloys
- BTA benzotriazole
- Non-Patent Document 1 a corrosion inhibitor for copper and copper alloys
- BTA forms a dense film on the surface of copper and copper alloys, suppresses redox reactions to prevent etching, and is known to be effective as an additive for preventing dishing of copper wiring parts.
- the use of a water-soluble polymer as a protective film forming agent for suppressing the dishing 6 of the metal wiring layer 5 has been studied. That is, the polishing rate ratio (metal layer / barrier layer) between the metal wiring layer 5 and the barrier layer 4 is large for the purpose of suppressing polishing of the barrier layer 4 and the insulating layer 2 while polishing and removing copper at high speed.
- An abrasive having a large polishing rate ratio (metal layer / insulating layer) between the metal wiring layer 5 and the insulating layer 2 has been developed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
- these abrasives all relate to the first polishing step for polishing and removing the metal wiring layer 5 such as the copper wiring layer, and in the second polishing step, the cap layer 3 is removed at a high speed, and An abrasive that satisfies the requirement to suppress the polishing of the insulating layer 2 made of a low dielectric constant material as much as possible has not yet been found.
- the barrier layer 4 is polished at a high speed in the second polishing step, and the metal wiring layer 5 is polished at an appropriate polishing rate. Furthermore, it is required to highly planarize the insulating layer 2 while cutting it.
- the polishing agent for the first polishing step is mainly required to polish the metal wiring layer 5 at a high polishing rate, whereas the polishing agent for the second polishing step has a high barrier layer 4. Polishing at a polishing rate and polishing the insulating layer 2 at a higher polishing rate than the metal wiring layer 5 are required, and the required characteristics of both are greatly different.
- the role of the second polishing step in CMP is to completely remove the unnecessary barrier layer 4 portion and reduce dishing 6 generated in the first polishing step.
- the dishing 6 is removed by scraping only the barrier layer 4 in the second polishing process. It is also possible to eliminate the polishing of the metal wiring layer 5 and the insulating layer 2.
- the thickness of the barrier layer 4 is as thin as 20 to 40 nm, and the dishing 6 is suppressed to a range smaller than the thickness of the barrier layer 4 in order to polish and remove the metal wiring layer 5 at a high speed in the first polishing process. It is extremely difficult.
- the first polishing step if there is local variation in the polishing rate of the metal wiring layer 5, over-polishing is required to completely remove unnecessary wiring metal residues in the surface. It becomes more difficult to keep 6 small.
- the second polishing step it is required to repair the dishing 6 larger than the film thickness of the barrier layer 4 generated in the first polishing step to realize high leveling.
- the insulating layer 2 in the wiring portion is excessively polished as compared with the insulating layer portion (Global portion) 9 having no wiring pattern.
- the layer 2 tends to be thin, in recent years, the reduction of the erosion 8 has become a major issue as the generation of semiconductors advances and the wiring portion becomes thinner.
- the barrier layer 4 is directly formed thereon.
- the barrier layer 4 is formed after the cap layer 3 made of, for example, silicon dioxide is formed on the insulating layer 2 made of a low dielectric constant material (hereinafter also referred to as a low dielectric constant insulating layer). Things have been done.
- the relative dielectric constant of the low dielectric constant material constituting the insulating layer 2 is generally 3 or less
- the relative dielectric constant of silicon dioxide formed by, for example, plasma CVD (chemical vapor deposition) is Since it is as high as 4, it is not preferable to leave the cap layer 3 at the time of planarization by polishing from the viewpoint of a low dielectric constant. That is, in the second polishing step, it is preferable to remove all the cap layer 3.
- the polishing rate of the low dielectric constant insulating layer 2 should be significantly suppressed relative to the polishing rate of the cap layer 3. is necessary. However, it has been difficult to suppress the polishing rate of the low dielectric constant insulating layer 2 chemically and mechanically more fragile than the polishing rate of the cap layer 3 with conventional polishing agents.
- the polishing rate of the low dielectric constant insulating layer 2 and the polishing rate of the silicon dioxide film as the cap layer 3 are (Hereinafter, referred to as a low dielectric constant insulating layer / silicon dioxide film selection ratio).
