摘要:
A polishing apparatus can effectively prevent abrasive particles from falling off a polishing tape during polishing. The polishing apparatus includes: a polishing head for polishing a peripheral portion of a substrate by pressing a surface of a polishing tape, having abrasive particles fixed on the surface, against the peripheral portion of the substrate while allowing the polishing tape to travel in one direction; and a conditioning apparatus, disposed upstream of the polishing head in the traveling direction of the polishing tape, for conditioning the surface of the polishing tape in advance in order to prevent the abrasive particles from falling off the surface of the polishing tape during polishing.

A method for generating a pattern includes reading out an interconnect layout and a hole layout, the interconnect layout prescribing interconnect patterns, the hole layout prescribing hole patterns configured to connect to the interconnect patterns; extracting one of the hole patterns to be connected within the same interconnect layer level to one of the interconnect patterns in a pattern processing area; extracting a first processing area including the extracted hole pattern; calculating a first pattern density of the interconnect patterns included in the first processing area; and generating first additional patterns in the first processing area based on the first pattern density.

A semiconductor device includes a first insulating layer provided above a semiconductor substrate. The first insulating layer includes a layer consisting essentially of a material having a relative dielectric constant smaller than 3. The first insulating layer includes a first integral structure consisting of a plug and wiring. The upper surface of the wiring is flush with the upper surface of the first insulating layer, and the lower surface of the plug is flush with the lower surface of the first insulating layer. A region protective member is formed of a second integral structure consisting of a plug and wiring. The second integral structure extends from the upper surface of the first insulating layer to the lower surface of the first insulating layer. The region protective member surrounds one of first to n-th regions (n being a natural 2 or more) partitioned by a boundary region on a horizontal plane.

A chemical mechanical polishing aqueous dispersion is used to polish a polishing target that includes an interconnect layer that contains tungsten. The chemical mechanical polishing aqueous dispersion includes: (A) a cationic water-soluble polymer; (B) an iron (III) compound; and (C) colloidal silica particles. The content (MA) (mass %) of the cationic water-soluble polymer (A) and the content (MB) (mass %) of the iron (III) compound (B) satisfy the relationship “MA/MB=0.004 to 0.1”. The chemical mechanical polishing aqueous dispersion has a pH of 1 to 3.
