Definitions
- the present invention relates to a CMP abrasive and a method for producing the same, and a substrate polishing method using the CMP abrasive.
- Such wide-area planarization technologies include polyimide coating technology, etch back technology for metals and insulation films, reflow technology for metals and insulation films, and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology. It has been known.
- CMP is a method in which a slurry containing abrasive particles is put on a substrate and polished using a polishing pad attached to a polishing apparatus. At this time, the abrasive particles mechanically polish the surface under pressure from the polishing apparatus, and the chemical components contained in the slurry chemically react with the surface of the substrate to chemically remove the surface portion of the substrate. .
- slurry used for CMP there are various types of slurry used for CMP depending on the type and characteristics of the film to be polished.
- abrasive particles used there are silica (SiO 2 ), ceria (CeO 2 ), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), titania (TiO 2 ), zirconia (ZrO 2 ), etc., which are selected according to the film to be polished. Can be used.
- a silica-based slurry has been generally studied as a CMP slurry for planarizing an insulating film such as a silicon oxide film.
- the silica-based slurry is produced by growing silica particles by thermal decomposition of silicon tetrachloride and adjusting the pH with an alkali solution containing no alkali metal such as ammonia.
- Ceria slurry is also used as a CMP slurry for inorganic insulating films such as silicon oxide films. Since ceria particles have a lower hardness than silica particles and alumina particles, defects such as scratches are hardly generated on the surface of the film after polishing. In addition, ceria particles are known as strong oxidizers and have chemically active properties, so ceria slurry is useful for CMP polishing for inorganic insulating films such as silicon oxide films.
- Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose ceria slurries used for CMP polishing.
- STI Shallow Trench Isolation
- a process using a silicon nitride film as a hard mask is performed. After forming a silicon nitride film on the substrate, a trench is formed in a predetermined region of the silicon nitride film and the substrate, a silicon oxide film is formed so as to fill the trench, and then the silicon oxide film is polished to obtain an element isolation film Is formed. At this time, the silicon oxide film is polished until the silicon nitride film is exposed using a dry ceria slurry capable of ensuring a high polishing selectivity between the silicon oxide film and the silicon nitride film.
- a polysilicon film may be used as a polishing stopper film.
- the polysilicon film has a lower hardness than the silicon nitride film, there is a problem that defects such as scratches (scratch defects) are likely to occur on the surface of the polysilicon film after CMP polishing.
- scratches scratches
- Wet ceria has a polyhedral structure compared to dry ceria, and can improve scratch defects as compared to dry ceria, but it is useful as the circuit dimensions of semiconductor devices are further miniaturized. Scratch defects generated in the process become a more serious problem, and further improvement is required.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a method for improving scratch defects by using fine tetravalent metal hydroxide particles as abrasive grains.
- the scratch defect is improved by reducing the abrasive grains, there is a problem that the polishing rate is lowered.
- Patent Document 4 discloses a slurry containing polyoxyethylene amine ether as a polysilicon polishing finish
- Patent Document 5 has cationized polyvinyl alcohol, amino sugar, or a derivative thereof, and amino sugar.
- a slurry containing at least one saccharide selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides and derivatives thereof is disclosed.
- these slurries do not have a sufficient protection function for the polysilicon film, and there is a problem in the cleanability after CMP polishing, and improvement is required.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a CMP abrasive that can reduce polishing scratches caused by polishing in the CMP process and has high polishing selectivity.
- a CMP abrasive comprising abrasive particles, a protective agent, and water
- the protective agent provides a CMP abrasive that is a silsesquioxane polymer having a polar group.
- polishing scratches can be reduced in the CMP process, and the abrasive has high polishing selectivity.
- the abrasive particles are preferably wet ceria particles. If the abrasive particles are wet ceria particles, the generation of abrasive scratches can be further reduced.

3-メルカプトプロピルトリメトキシシラン、2-シアノエチルトリメトキシシランをそれぞれ加水分解/縮合し、スルホ基を有するシルセスキオキサンポリマー、カルボキシ基を有するシルセスキオキサンポリマーを合成した。
上記の方法で合成したセリア粒子、シルセスキオキサンポリマー、及び純水を混合し、攪拌しながら超音波分散を60分行った。得られたスラリーを0.5μmフィルターでろ過し、純水で希釈することでCMP研磨剤を調製した。
図2に示した片面研磨装置の研磨ヘッドに、プラズマCVD法で酸化ケイ素膜(SiO2膜)を形成したシリコン基板を、酸化ケイ素膜の表面を下にしてセットした。そして、研磨加重6psi(pound per square inch)、定盤及び研磨ヘッドの回転速度を70rpm、上記調製したCMP研磨剤を毎分100mLで供給しながら、研磨パッド(IC1000/SubaIV CMPパッド:Dowchemical)を用いて、60秒間研磨を実施した。研磨終了後、基板を研磨ヘッドから取り外し、純水で洗浄後更に超音波洗浄を行い、乾燥器を使用し80℃で乾燥させた。その後、分光エリプソメーターにより、研磨前後の膜厚変化を測定することで研磨速度を算出した。同様に、低圧CVD法でポリシリコン膜(Poly-Si膜)を形成したシリコン基板を同条件で研磨し、研磨前後の膜厚変化を測定することで研磨速度を算出した。また、走査型電子顕微鏡により、研磨後のポリシリコン膜表面に発生した研磨傷の個数を求めた。
セリア粒子500g、極性基としてスルホ基を有するシルセスキオキサンポリマー15g、純水5,000gを混合し、攪拌しながら超音波分散を60分行った後、0.5μmフィルターでろ過し、純水で更に希釈してセリア粒子濃度が1質量%、シルセスキオキサンポリマー濃度が0.15質量%のCMP研磨剤を調製した。
得られたCMP研磨剤のpHは6.3であった。粒度分布を超音波減衰式粒度分布計(Zeta-APS:Matec製)で測定した結果、平均粒子径は0.10μmであった。
極性基としてスルホ基を有するシルセスキオキサンポリマーの代わりに極性基としてカルボキシ基を有するシルセスキオキサンポリマーを添加した以外は、実施例1と同様な手順によりCMP研磨剤を調製した。
得られたCMP研磨剤のpHは6.5であった。粒度分布を超音波減衰式粒度分布計(Zeta-APS:Matec製)で測定した結果、平均粒子径が0.11μmであった。
シルセスキオキサンポリマーを添加しない以外は、実施例1と同様な手順によりCMP研磨剤を調製した。
得られたCMP研磨剤のpHは6.0であった。粒度分布を超音波減衰式粒度分布計(Zeta-APS:Matec製)で測定した結果、平均粒子径が0.11μmであった。
シルセスキオキサンポリマーの代わりに、ポリメタクリル酸アンモニウム塩を添加した以外は、実施例1と同様な手順によりCMP研磨剤を調製した。
得られたセリア研磨剤のpHは6.6であった。粒度分布を超音波減衰式粒度分布計(Zeta-APS:Matec製)で測定した結果、平均粒子径が0.10μmであった。
更に、保護剤としてシルセスキオキサンポリマーの代わりに、ポリメタクリル酸アンモニウム塩を使用した比較例2のCMP研磨剤を用いてCMP研磨を行った場合は、ポリシリコン膜に対する研磨選択比の向上や研磨傷の低減効果は多少あるものの、実施例のCMP研磨剤には大きく劣る結果となった。
