    摘要: Polishing compositions and methods for removing conductive materials and barrier materials from a substrate surface are provided. In one aspect, a full sequence electrochemical mechanical planarization technique is provided. In another aspect, a hybrid planarization technique using combination of at least one chemical mechanical polishing process and at least one electrochemical mechanical polishing process is provided. In addition, a multi-step polishing process for polishing a substrate surface using at least two oxidizers in one or more polishing composition is described. The polishing composition may be used in the full sequence or the hybrid planarization technique. The polishing compositions and methods described herein improve the effective removal rate of materials from the substrate surface with a reduction in planarization defects.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for the removal of a deposited conductive layer along an edge of a substrate using an electrode configured to electro polish a substrate edge are disclosed. The electro polishing of the substrate edge may occur simultaneously during electrochemical mechanical processing (Ecmp) of a substrate face. In one embodiment, a power source applies a bias between the substrate and at least two electrodes. The electrodes form a first electrode zone proximate the substrate edge at a sufficient potential to electro polish the substrate edge, thereby removing the conductive layer from the substrate edge. A second electrode zone with a lower potential than the first electrode zone is aligned proximate the substrate face during processing to enable Ecmp of the substrate face.

    摘要: Polishing compositions and methods for removing conductive material and barrier layer materials from a substrate surface are provided. Generally, variable amounts of abrasive particles are used for removing conductive material and barrier layer materials. In one aspect, a process is provided including providing an polishing composition between the first electrode and the substrate, wherein the polishing composition comprises a first concentration of abrasive particles, applying a bias between the first electrode and the second electrode, providing relative motion between the substrate and the polishing article, removing conductive layer material from the substrate, introducing abrasive particles to the polishing composition to form a second concentration of abrasive particles greater than a first concentration of abrasive particles, and removing barrier layer material from the substrate. The abrasive particles may be incrementally introduced or pulsed during a polishing process.
