    摘要: A method of removing contaminants from a silicon wafer after chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP). After a copper chemical-mechanical polishing and a subsequent barrier chemical-mechanical polishing operation, an aqueous solution of ozone in de-ionized water is applied to clean the silicon wafer so that contaminants on the wafer are removed. Alternatively, an ozone/de-ionized water buffer-polishing process is conducted after copper and barrier CMP and then the wafer is cleaned using a chemical solution or de-ionized water. Alternatively, an ozone/de-ionized water buffer-polishing process is conducted after both copper-CMP and barrier-CMP and then the wafer is cleaned using a chemical solution or de-ionized water.

    摘要: A poly opening polish process includes the following steps. A semi-finished semiconductor component is provided. The semi-finished semiconductor component includes a substrate, a gate disposed on the substrate, and a dielectric layer disposed on the substrate and covering the gate. A first polishing process is applied onto the dielectric layer. A second polishing process is applied to the gate. The second polishing process utilizes a wetting solution including a water soluble polymer surfactant, an alkaline compound and water. The poly opening polish process can effectively remove an oxide residue formed in the chemical mechanical polish, thereby improving the performance of the integrated circuit and reducing the production cost of the integrated circuit.

A first gate structure and a second gate structure are formed on a substrate, wherein the top of the first gate structure includes a cap layer, so that the vertical height of the first gate structure is higher than the vertical height of the second gate structure. An interdielectric layer is formed on the substrate. A first chemical mechanical polishing process is performed to expose the top surface of the cap layer. A second chemical mechanical polishing process is performed to expose the top surface of the second gate structure or an etching process is performed to remove the interdielectric layer located on the second gate structure. A second chemical mechanical polishing process is then performed to remove the cap layer.

    摘要: A chemical-mechanical polishing method for polishing a copper oxide layer and a copper layer. The copper oxide layer above the copper layer is first polished using an aqueous solution having a high concentration of polishing particles/chelating agent. The copper layer is then polished using a polishing slurry having a low concentration of polishing particles/chelating agent or the polishing slurry free of polishing particles/chelating agent. Alternatively, the copper oxide layer is polished using a mixture of the aqueous solution and the polishing slurry. After the copper oxide layer is removed, the copper layer is polished using the polishing slurry alone.
