Abstract
Description
ここに開示される中間研磨用組成物は、砥粒A1と、塩基性化合物B1と、表面保護剤S1とを含む。上記表面保護剤S1は、重量平均分子量(Mw)が30×104より高い水溶性高分子P1を含み、さらに分散剤D1を含み、かつ分散性パラメータα1が80%未満であることによって特徴づけられる。
水溶性高分子P1は、中間研磨工程において、研磨対象物表面の保護性を高める働きをする。これにより、中間研磨工程の終了時における研磨対象物(ここではシリコン基板)の表面の平滑性をより高くし得る。中間研磨終了時の平滑性が高いことは、仕上げ研磨工程で解消すべき凹凸が少なく、仕上げ研磨工程の負荷が小さいことを意味する。したがって、仕上げ研磨工程において、より研磨力(加工力)が弱い仕上げ研磨用組成物を採用しても、仕上げ研磨の開始時点で存在する凹凸を所望のレベルまで解消することが可能となる。より加工力の弱い仕上げ研磨用組成物を用いることにより、仕上げ研磨工程において研磨対象物に加わる負荷を軽減して欠陥発生を抑制し、仕上げ研磨後の研磨対象物の表面品位を向上させ得る。
表面保護剤S1の分散性パラメータα1は、所定の方法で行われる吸引濾過において、標準ポリマーおよびアンモニアを含み残部が水からなる標準液100gの濾過時間(通液時間)T0と、表面保護剤S1およびアンモニアを含み残部が水からなる試験液100gの濾過時間(通液時間)T1とから、以下の式により算出される。
分散性パラメータα1(%)=(T1/T0)×100
ここで、上記標準液および上記試験液のアンモニア濃度は、いずれも0.57重量%とする。上記標準ポリマーとしては、重量平均分子量(Mw)が120×104のヒドロキシエチルセルロース(HEC)を使用する。上記標準液における上記標準ポリマーの濃度は、0.12重量%とする。上記試験液における表面保護剤S1の濃度は、該表面保護剤S1を構成する水溶性高分子P1の濃度が上記標準ポリマーの濃度と同じ濃度(すなわち0.12重量%)となるように設定する。

次いで、メンブレンフィルターを新しいものに交換した後、上記吸引圧力にて脱イオン水100gを吸引濾過し、続いて試験液100gを吸引濾過する。このとき試験液100gの濾過に要した時間(通液時間)T1を計測する。

この明細書によると、中間研磨工程と仕上げ研磨工程とを含むシリコン基板の研磨プロセスにおいて好ましく用いられ得る研磨用組成物セットが提供される。その研磨用組成物セットは、ここに開示されるいずれかの中間研磨用組成物と、仕上げ研磨用組成物とを少なくとも含む。上記中間研磨用組成物は、中間研磨工程に用いられる研磨スラリーまたはその濃縮液であり得る。同様に、上記仕上げ研磨用組成物は、仕上げ研磨工程に用いられる研磨スラリーまたはその濃縮液であり得る。上記仕上げ研磨用組成物としては、砥粒A2と塩基性化合物B2と表面保護剤S2とを含み、上記表面保護剤S2は水溶性高分子P2を含み、かつ(α1/α2)≧0.5を満たすものが好ましく用いられ得る。このような研磨用組成物セットに含まれる中間研磨用組成物および仕上げ研磨用組成物を用いて中間研磨用工程および仕上げ研磨工程を行うことにより、高品位の表面を有するシリコン基板を効果的に製造することができる。
