The present invention provides an aqueous dispersion for chemical mechanical polishing suitable for polishing of copper, which has a high polishing speed and a low erosion rate with overpolishing. The aqueous dispersion for chemical mechanical polishing of the invention contains a compound having a heterocycle, a surfactant and an oxidizing agent, wherein the compound having a heterocycle and the surfactant are in a weight ratio of 1:10 to 1:0.03. The aqueous dispersion may also contain abrasive particle. The compound having a heterocycle is preferably quinaldic acid, benzotriazole or the like. The surfactant is preferably a sulfonic acid salt such as potassium dodecylbenzenesulfonate or ammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and the oxidizing agent is preferably ammonium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide or the like. The abrasive particle used may be inorganic particle such as colloidal silica, an organic particle such as polymer particle, or an organic/inorganic composite particle comprising a combination thereof.

A method of forming a cap film comprises a first polishing step of performing a polishing operation at selectivity of R1 (=removal rate for the cap film/removal rate for the insulating film), and a second polishing step of performing a polishing operation at selectivity of R2 (=removal rate for the cap film/removal rate for the insulating film). Each of the polishing operations is performed by using a slurry having the condition of R1>R2. By performing the polishing operations at different selectivity, the cap film free from problems such as dishing of the cap film and the residual cap film on side walls of a recess is formed. Consequently, a semiconductor device having an excellent RC characteristic can be provided.

摘要:
A CMP slurry comprising polishing abrasives containing mixture abrasives of silica and alumina is used. In CMP using the slurry comprising mixture abrasives of silica and alumina as polishing abrasives, a down force-dependency of a polishing rate is high and an increase in dishing can be effectively suppressed.
摘要:
A method for polishing a Cu film comprises contacting a Cu film formed above a semiconductor substrate with a polishing pad attached to a turntable, and supplying a first chemical liquid which promotes the polishing of the Cu film and a second chemical liquid which contains a surfactant, to the polishing pad while the turntable being rotated, thereby polishing the Cu film, while monitoring at least one of a table current of the turntable and a surface temperature of the polishing pad to detect a change in at least one of the table current of the turntable and the surface temperature of the polishing pad. The supply of the second chemical liquid is controlled in conformity with the change.

摘要:
A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate in which a semiconductor element is formed, an interlayer insulating film formed on the semiconductor substrate, an insulating barrier layer, formed on the interlayer insulating film by plasma nitriding, for preventing diffusion of a metal constituting a wiring layer, a conductive barrier layer, formed on the insulating barrier layer, for preventing diffusion of the metal, and a wiring layer formed of the metal on the conductive barrier layer. A bottom portion of the wiring layer is protected by the conductive barrier layer and the insulating barrier layer. Therefore, the diffusion of the metal constituting the wiring layer can be surely prevented.
