技术背景 technical background
COMS芯片的制造通常是在硅衬底材料上集成数以亿计的有源器件(包 括 NMOS和 PMOS), 进而设计各种电路实现复杂的逻辑功能和模拟功能。 要确保不同器件之间的电学隔离, 就要采用绝缘材料将其隔离, 浅槽隔离 (STI) 就是在有源器件之间形成隔离区的工业化方法。 这种隔离方法, 是 在衬底上生长一层二氧化硅层, 然后再淀积一层氮化硅薄膜, 二者的典型厚 度分别为 10-20nm和 50-100nm, 然后进行涂胶,、曝光和显影, 如图 1所示。  COMS chips are typically fabricated by integrating hundreds of millions of active devices (including NMOS and PMOS) on silicon substrate materials, and then designing various circuits to implement complex logic and analog functions. To ensure electrical isolation between different devices, insulation is used to isolate them. Shallow trench isolation (STI) is an industrial method of forming isolation regions between active devices.

在图 1中看出 5— 6的步骤需要用 CMP平坦化工艺,要求快速去除二氧 化硅并停止在氮化硅上面, 这就要求其抛光液要具有较高的 HDP/SIN的选 择比, 通常要大于 10, 并且在不同密度区域的碟形凹陷不能相差 200埃, 表 面光滑洁净, 颗粒污染物和缺陷等均小于工艺要求的指标。  It is seen in Figure 1 that the 5-6 step requires a CMP planarization process that requires rapid removal of silicon dioxide and stops on the silicon nitride, which requires a higher HDP/SIN selectivity ratio for the polishing solution.

It is a relatively mature industrial product, but this type of polishing liquid is prone to sedimentation and stratification. The equipment requirements are high, and the price is expensive. In the context of reducing the efficiency of the global chip industry, reducing the cost is also one of the requirements of the polishing liquid. Summary of invention
