摘要:
A wafer carrier assembly for a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus and a polishing method using the same are provided. The present wafer carrier assembly comprises a first plate, a second plate and a flexible membrane. The first plate has a plurality of protrusions formed on a bottom surface thereof and the second plate has a plurality of apertures passing through. Each of the protrusions is matched with one of the apertures to enable the first plate and the second plate to detachably combine together. The flexible membrane is positioned under the second plate and contacts it. A surface of the flexible membrane opposite to the surface of the flexible membrane contacting the second plate provides a wafer-receiving surface.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes the following steps. First, a semiconductor substrate is provided, which includes at least a fin structure and at least a gate semiconductor layer disposed thereon. The gate semiconductor layer covers a portion of the fin structure. Then a sacrificial layer is deposited to cover the fin structure entirely. Subsequently, a top surface of the fin structure is exposed from the sacrificial layer through an etching process. A material layer is then deposited, which covers the gate semiconductor layer, the fin structure and the sacrificial layer conformally. Finally, the material layer is etched until the top surface of the fin structure is exposed and a first spacer is concurrently formed on side surfaces of the gate semiconductor layer.

A planarization process for a pre-damascene structure is described, wherein the pre-damascene structure includes a metal hard mask that is disposed on a first material layer with a damascene opening therein and a second material layer that fills the damascene opening and covers the metal hard mask. A first CMP step is conducted using a first slurry to remove the second material layer outside the damascene opening. A second CMP step is conducted using a second slurry to remove the metal hard mask.

A method for manufacturing a metal plug is described. A substrate with an opening is provided. Then, a barrier layer is formed on a surface of the opening. Thereafter, a metallic layer is formed over the substrate so that the opening is also filled. Next, a planarization process is performed to remove the metallic layer outside the opening. One main feature of the present invention is the performance of at least a high temperature treatment after the metallic layer is formed. Due to the high temperature treatment, internal stress between different layers is released.

A method of forming a plug is provided. First, a substrate comprising at least a dielectric layer is provided, and a patterned hard mask is formed on the dielectric layer to define a position of at least a plug hole. Subsequently, the dielectric layer is etched for forming the plug hole. A barrier layer and a conductive layer are formed on the substrate, and the plug hole is filled by the conductive layer. Thereafter, first, second, and third chemical mechanical polishing processes are performed in turn. Finally, a fourth chemical mechanical polishing process is performed to remove portions of the conductive layer.
