    Abstract: A method for forming a planarized inter-metal insulation film is provided. The method includes applying a CMP process to an insulation film as controlled by a polish-stop layer pattern formed on an underlying metal wiring pattern. A PAE based material may be used to form the polish-stop layer.

    Abstract: A method of planarizing the surface of a semiconductor substrate to reduce the occurrence of a dishing phenomenon. A patterned etch stop layer defining a trench region is formed on a substrate. The substrate is etched to form a trench region, and a medium material layer and an oxide layer are subsequently formed on the substrate, filling the trench region. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is performed on the oxide layer until the medium material layer is exposed. CMP is then performed until the patterned etch stop layer is exposed and a planarized oxide layer is formed. Because the medium material layer has a higher removal rate during CMP than the oxide layer, occurrences of the dishing phenomenon are reduced. A slurry including an anionic surfactant is used to increase the CMP removal ratio of the medium material layer to the oxide layer.

    Abstract: A slurry delivery system, a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) apparatus, and method for using the same are provided. An apparatus for supplying slurry to a polishing unit may include a first feed line through which an abrasive may be supplied at a first velocity. A velocity-changing member may be connected to the first feed line, and/or a velocity of the abrasive may be changed from the first velocity to. the second velocity different from the first velocity by the velocity-changing member. A second feed line may be connected to the velocity-changing member and/or an additive may be supplied through the second feed line. A supply line may be connected to the velocity-changing member. A slurry, which may be a mixture of the abrasive and/or the additive, may be supplied to a polishing unit through the supply line. Accordingly, the slurry may be more uniformly mixed and/or supplied to a polishing unit.
