- CMP chemical mechanical polishing
- the present invention relates to, for example, a CMP polishing liquid for polishing a semiconductor wafer material, and a polishing method using the same.
- the present invention particularly relates to a polishing slurry for CMP for polishing silicon oxide provided on the surface of a semiconductor wafer, and a polishing method using the same.
- the CMP technique is a technique for flattening the surface after forming a thin film on a substrate by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or the like.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- processing by CMP is indispensable. If the surface of the substrate is uneven, inconveniences such as inability to focus in the exposure process and insufficient formation of a fine wiring structure occur.
- the CMP technology is a process for forming an element isolation region by polishing a plasma oxide material (BPSG, HDP-SiO 2 , p-TEOS, etc.), a process for forming an interlayer insulating material, or a silicon oxide in a device manufacturing process.
- the present invention is also applied to a step of flattening a plug (for example, an Al / Cu plug) after embedding a member (for example, a silicon oxide film) containing metal in a metal wiring.
- CMP is usually performed using an apparatus capable of supplying a polishing liquid onto a polishing pad.
- the substrate surface is polished by pressing the substrate against the polishing pad while supplying a polishing liquid between the substrate surface and the polishing pad.
- a high-performance polishing liquid is one of elemental techniques, and various polishing liquids have been developed so far.
- a groove is provided in advance on the substrate surface, and an inorganic insulating material (for example, silicon oxide) is formed by CVD or the like so as to fill the groove.
- the element isolation region is formed by planarizing the surface of the inorganic insulating material by CMP.
- STI shallow trench isolation
- the polishing process of the inorganic insulating material is divided into two stages to improve the production efficiency.
- the first step rough cutting step
- the inorganic insulating material provided on the substrate is removed at high speed.
- the second step finishing step
- the inorganic insulating material is finished to an arbitrary thickness.

Since it appears one after another, it is considered that a high polishing rate for an inorganic insulating material (for example, silicon oxide) can be maintained at a high level.
- Such polycrystalline cerium oxide particles are described in detail in, for example, International Publication No. WO99 / 31195.

- the amount of film thickness change before and after polishing of the silicon oxide film on the convex part of the pattern wafer was measured using an optical interference type film thickness measuring device (trade name: RE-3000, manufactured by Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd.).
- the film thickness change amount at this time was determined as a pattern wafer polishing amount (PTW).
- divided the pattern wafer polishing amount by 300 nm was computed as level
- Examples 1 to 7 using the first additive and the second additive had higher step removal performance than Comparative Examples 1 to 6. Further, in Examples 1 to 7, it was shown that the silicon oxide film can be polished while achieving both a high polishing rate and a high level difference removing property.
- the average particle diameter of the abrasive grains was measured after one day from the preparation of the polishing liquid by mixing the respective components of the polishing liquid.
- the particle size was 150 nm, which was the same as the particle size at the time of preparing abrasive grains. Thereby, it was confirmed that aggregation of a particle size is suppressed.
- a polishing slurry for CMP that can achieve both a high polishing rate and a step removal property for a silicon oxide film.
- the present invention also provides a polishing method using the CMP polishing liquid.
