    摘要: A patterned portion of a patterned semiconductor substrate is removed by abrasive mechanical planarization employing an abrasive pad but without employing any slurry. Preferably, water is supplied to enhance the removal rate during the mechanical planarization. The removal rate of material is substantially independent for common materials employed in back-end-of-line (BEOL) semiconductor materials, which enables non-selective removal of the material containing metallization structures. The removal rate of silicon is lower than the removal rate for the BEOL semiconductor materials, enabling a self-stopping planarization process.

    摘要: The instant invention is a method of polishing a substrate including contacting a substrate having at least one metal layer including copper with a chemical-mechanical polishing composition. The CMP composition includes an abrasive, a surfactant, an oxidizer, an organic acid including polyacrylic acid or polymethacrylic acid, a corrosion inhibitor, and a liquid carrier. A portion of the copper in the metal layer is abraded to polish the substrate. A second CMP composition contacts the abraded substrate, the second acrylate free composition including an abrasive, a surfactant, an oxidizer, and a corrosion inhibitor, and a liquid carrier. Any dendrites that may have formed on the substrate are removed through abrasion.

    摘要: In the course of forming a resistor in the back end of an integrated circuit, an intermediate dielectric layer is deposited and a trench etched through it and into a lower dielectric layer by a controllable amount, so that the top of a resistor layer deposited in the trench is close in height to the top of the lower dielectric layer; the trench is filled and the resistor layer outside the trench is removed, after which a second dielectric layer is deposited. Vias passing through the second dielectric layer to contact the resistor then have the same depth as vias contacting metal interconnects in the lower dielectric layer. A tri-layer resistor structure is employed in which the resistive film is sandwiched between two protective layers that block diffusion between the resistor and BEOL ILD layers.
