    摘要: A chemical-mechanical polishing machine having an improved wafer retainer ring design for the polishing head, comprising a polishing table, a polishing pad, a polishing head and a wafer retainer ring, wherein the polishing pad is above the polishing table, the polishing head is above the polishing pad, and the wafer retainer ring is mounted onto the polishing head. Improvement of the retainer ring design includes the formation of a plurality of guiding holes around the periphery of the retainer ring such that the guiding hole axis follows the centrifugal line produced by a rotating polishing head. Furthermore, the guiding hole has a gradual diffusing structure from the outer inlet to the inner outlet.

    摘要: The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing pad, which includes a plurality of annular grooves and a plurality of streamline grooves designed according to principles of the hydrodynamics. The streamline grooves of polishing pad are designed according to flow equations derived from source flow and vortex flow, and the streamline grooves of polishing pad uniformly distribute the slurry on the polishing pad. An angle and a depth of the streamline groove, which are calculated by boundary layer effect of the streamline groove function, are used to design an optimum structure for polishing pad.

    摘要: A method of preventing overpolishing in a chemical-mechanical polishing operation includes using a spin-on polymer material instead of spin-on glass as the local planarization material. The spin-on polymer layer is further used as a polishing stop layer so as to prevent damage to components due to overpolishing, because the polishing rate of the spin-on polymer layer in a chemical-mechanical polishing operation is, in general, lower than the polishing rate of the silicon dioxide layer formed using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition.

    摘要: Performance of the high resistance resistor, which is polysilicon, is improved by treating the surface of the polysilicon layer in mixed signal integrated circuits for ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) broadband service application. This treated surface of the polysilicon layer will prevent ions in the resistor from out-diffusion when performing an annealing step after forming the resistor.

    摘要: A method of fabricating shallow trench isolation. A silicon oxide layer is formed on a substrate. The silicon oxide layer is patterned and a portion of the substrate is removed to form a trench within the substrate. A liner oxide layer is formed on the sidewall of the trench. An insulating layer is formed on the substrate and filled in the trench. A portion of the insulating layer is removed by CMP to expose the silicon oxide layer. The silicon oxide layer is removed and the STI structure is completed.
