Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a concentrate for use in chemical mechanical polishing slurries, and a method of diluting that concentrate to a point of use slurry. The concentrate comprises abrasive, complexing agent, and corrosion inhibitor, and the concentrate is diluted with water and oxidizer. These components are present in amounts such that the concentrate can be diluted at very high dilution ratios, without affecting the polishing performance.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a highly dilutable chemical mechanical polishing concentrate comprising an abrasive, an acid, a stabilizer, and water with a point-of-use pH ranging from 2.2-3.5 for planarizing current and next generation semiconductor integrated circuit FEOL/BEOL substrates.

Abstract:
A method of chemical mechanical polishing a surface of a substrate including the step of: contacting the substrate and a composition including a plurality of colloidal silica particles having less than 200 ppb of each trace metal impurity, excluding potassium and sodium, have less than 2 ppm residual alcohol and wherein the cumulative concentration of the trace metal, excluding potassium and sodium, is in the range from about 0.5 to about 5 ppm; and a medium for suspending the particles; wherein the composition is an ultrapure colloidal silica dispersion; and wherein the contacting is carried out at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to planarize the substrate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a novel CMP slurry composition used for polishing metals, the composition comprising: (a) a dispersion solution comprising an abrasive; and (b) an oxidizer. The slurry composition has a large particle count of less than about 150,000 particles having a particle size greater than 0.5 &mgr;m in 30 &mgr;L of slurry, which is achieved by filtering the slurry composition prior to use. Also, the inclusion of a chemical activity enhancer, such as, an amine and a corrosion inhibitor, results in the appropriate copper removal rate without increasing static etch rates.
Abstract:
There is provided a ball grid array package for housing semiconductor devices. The package has a metallic base with conductive vias extending through holes formed in the base. The conductive vias terminate adjacent an exterior surface of the base. A dielectric coating on at least part of the base and through hole walls electrically isolates the metallic base from the package circuitry.
Abstract:
There is provided a leadframe having a plurality of coplanar electrically conductive leads. At least one metallic guard is bonded to the leads with a dielectric layer disposed between the metallic guard and the leads. The metallic guard has good adhesion to a polymer molding resin such that when the leadframe structure is encased in a molding resin, delamination is minimized. By restricting delamination, the ingress of water and water soluble contaminants to an integrated circuit device is inhibited.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to components and the process of forming the components for housing semiconductor devices. The components are formed of a unique ceramic-glass-metal composite material comprising ceramic particles, metallic particles and a glass matrix with said ceramic and metallic particles dispersed throughout. Metal elements can be embedded into the material to enable simplified fabrication of devices such as semiconductor packaging.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a package adapted to house an electronic device, such as a semiconductor integrated circuit. The package components are comprised of aluminum or an aluminum based alloy. At least a portion of the surfaces of the package components are anodized to enhance corrosion resistance and increase bond strength. The aluminum based packages are characterized by lighter weight than copper based packages and better thermal conductivity than plastic based packages.
