    Abstract: There is provided a method for making a wafer comprising the steps of providing a substrate having a first surface, an opposite second surface, and at least one side edge defining a thickness of the substrate, the at least one side edge having a first peripheral region and a second peripheral region adjacent to the first peripheral region. The method includes applying a fluid to the first surface and the first peripheral region of the at least one side edge and removing the opposite second surface and the second peripheral region of the at least one side edge to form a third surface. A semiconductor chip made from the method for making the wafer is also provided.

    Abstract: A structure and method of formation. The substrate has front and back surfaces on opposite sides of the substrate. The substrate has a backside portion extending from the back surface to a second depth into the substrate as measured from the front surface. At least one via is formed in the substrate and extends from the front surface to a via depth into the substrate. The via depth is specific to each via. The via depth of each via is less than an initial thickness of the substrate. The second depth does not exceed the minimum via depth of the via depths. Organic material (e.g., photoresist) is inserted into each via. The organic material is subsequently covered with a tape, followed by removal of the backside portion of the substrate. The tape is subsequently removed from the organic material, followed by removal of the organic material from each via.

    Abstract: A CMP slurry for and method of polishing a semiconductor wafer during formation of metal interconnects are disclosed. The present invention utilizes a first slurry comprising a first oxidizer, preferably ferric nitrate, to remove the excess metal of the metal interconnect but which leaves the metal residues on the surface of the wafer. A second slurry comprising another oxidizer, preferably potassium iodate solution, having a greater affinity to both the metal residue and the liner material than the underlying dielectric is used to remove the metal residue and liner material with significantly reduced scratching of the underlying dielectric. The more robust metal interconnects formed utilizing the present invention is effective in lowering the overall resistance of a wafer, reducing the number of shorts, and provides greater protection of the underlying dielectric. Overpolishing of the wafer and its associated problems are avoided.

    Abstract: A ferric nitrate-alumina based slurry useful for Chemical-Mechanical-Polishing of tungsten metallurgy and silica based oxides on semiconductor substrates in which the suspension and stability of abrasive material in the slurry is essentially stable. The slurry formulation is balanced to provide low residue of foreign material after polishing and due to its reduced ferric nitrate concentration will be less corrosive than prior art slurries. The recipe for the slurry includes of a 30% wt silica suspension, about 800 ml of 40% by wt ferric nonahydrate, liters and enough 70% wt nitric acid to adjust the pH of the slurry to about 1.2 to 1.4.
