    摘要: A method and apparatus for removing conductive material from a microelectronic substrate. In one embodiment, the method can include engaging a microelectronic substrate with a polishing surface of a polishing pad,electrically coupling a conductive material of the microelectronic substrate to a source of electrical potential,and oxidizing at least a portion of the conductive material by passing an electrical current through the conductive material from the source of electrical potential. For example, the method can include positioning first and second electrodes apart from a face surface of the microelectronic substrate, disposing an electrolytic fluid between the face surface and the electrodes with the electrodes in fluid communication with the electrolytic fluid, and movingat least one of the microelectronic and the polishing pad relative to the other.

    摘要: The invention provides polishing slurry for CMP for suppressing corrosion of wiring lines of a conductive substance, or for suppressing bimetallic corrosion of a barrier conductor and conductive substance, by suppressing electrons from being transferred at near the boundaries between a barrier conductor and a conductive substance such as copper. The invention provides polishing slurry for CMP for polishing at least a conductor layer and a conductive substance layer in contact with the conductor layer, wherein the absolute value of the potential difference between the conductive substance and the conductor at 50 ± 5°C is 0.25 V or less in the polishing slurry when a positive electrode and a negative electrode of a potentiometer are connected to the conductive substance and the conductor, respectively. The polishing slurry for CMP preferably comprises at least one compound selected from heterocyclic compounds containing any one of hydroxyl group, carbonyl group, carboxyl group, amino group, amide group and sulfinyl group, and containing at least one of nitrogen and sulfur atoms.

    摘要: There is provided an electrolytic processing apparatus and method which, while omitting a CMP treatment entirely or reducing a load upon a CMP treatment to the least possible extent, can process a conductive material formed in the surface of a substrate to flatten the material, or can remove (clean) extraneous matter adhering to the surface of a workpiece such as a substrate. The electrolytic processing apparatus includes: a pair of electrodes disposed at a given distance; an ion exchange disposed between the pair of electrodes; and a liquid supply section for supplying a liquid between the pair of electrodes. The electrolytic processing method includes: providing an electrode section having a pair of electrodes disposed at a given distance with an ion exchanger being interposed; and bringing the electrode into contact with or close to a workpiece while supplying a fluid to the ion exchanger, thereby processing the surface of the workpiece.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for chemically, mechanically and/or electrolytically removing material from microelectronic substrates. A polishing medium for removing material can include a liquid carrier, an electrolyte disposed in the liquid carrier, and abrasives disposed in the liquid carrier, with the abrasives forming up to about 1% of the polishing liquid by weight. The polishing medium can further include a chelating agent. An electrical current can be selectively applied to the microelectronic substrate via the polishing liquid, and a downforce applied to the microelectronic substrate can be selected based on the level of current applied electrolytically to the microelectronic substrate. The microelectronic substrate can undergo an electrolytic and nonelectrolytic processing on the same polishing pad, or can be moved from one polishing pad to another while being supported by a single substrate carrier.

    摘要: Polishing compositions and methods for removing conductive materials from a substrate surface are provided. In one aspect, a composition includes an acid based electrolyte system, one or more chelating agents, one or more corrosion inhibitors, one or more inorganic or organic acid salts, one or more pH adjusting agents to provide a pH between about 3 and about 10, a polishing enhancing material selected from the group of abrasive particles, one or more oxidizers, and combinations thereof, and a solvent. The composition may be used in an conductive material removal process including disposing a substrate having a conductive material layer formed thereon in a process apparatus comprising an electrode, providing the composition between the electrode and substrate, applying a bias between the electrode and the substrate, and removing conductive material from the conductive material layer.
