摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provides an aqueous CMP dispersion with an adequately high initial removal rate, and which, even after repeated polishing, exhibits at least one, and preferably two or more, of the following functions and effects: (1) reduction of performance of polishing pads is suppressed and an adequate removal rate is maintained, (2) generation of pits on polishing surfaces is inhibited, and (3) uneven sections on polishing surfaces are flattened, and satisfactory finished surfaces can be formed with high precision. The aqueous CMP dispersion comprises an abrasive, an organic compound and water. The organic compound with an effect of suppressing reduction of performance of polishing pads may be biphenol, bipyridyl, vinylpyridine, adenine or the like. The organic compound with an effect of inhibiting generation of pits on polishing surfaces may be biphenol, bipyridyl, vinylpyridine, hypoxanthine or the like. The organic compound with an effect of flattening uneven sections on polishing surfaces may be biphenol, bipyridyl, vinylpyridine, salicylaldoxime or the like. The aqueous CMP dispersion of the present invention that contains specific organic compounds has at least one and especially two functions and effects from among that of suppressing reduction of performance of polishing pads, that of suppressing void wearing of polishing surfaces and that of flattening polishing surfaces, as well as a combination of these three functions and effects, even with repeated polishing. The aqueous CMP dispersion is particularly useful for polishing of copper films, and can form satisfactory finished surfaces with high precision.
摘要:
It is an object of the invention to provide an aqueous dispersion for CMP that produces no scratches on polishing surfaces and that polishes with an adequate rate, when used for polishing of copper and the like. The aqueous dispersion of the invention contains water and polymer particles composed of a polymer with a specific functional group, and it may also contain a complexing agent, a compound that forms a passivation film on polishing surfaces and/or an oxidizing agent. The specific functional group is a functional group that can react with the metals of polishing surfaces or that can form a cation, and it is preferably selected from among amino, pyridyl and acrylamide groups. The polymer can be obtained using a initiator and/or monomer possessing the specific functional group. The polymer may also have a crosslinked structure.
