    摘要: A method for polishing a metal layer on a workpiece is provided wherein relative motion is produced between the metal layer and a polishing surface and wherein the metal layer has a polish resistant film thereon. The metal layer is first pre-treated to substantially remove the polish resistant film. Next, the metal layer is polished at low pressure between the metal layer and the polishing surface in the presence of a polishing solution. The pretreating may be accomplished by, for example, sputtering, polishing the polish-resistant film in the presence of abrasive polishing solution, polishing the polish-resistant film at higher pressures between the film and the polishing surface, maintaining the temperature of the pretreating step to be substantially between 10 degrees Centigrade and 30 degrees Centigrade, and chemically removing the film.

    摘要: A dilution stage is adapted to supply a dilute chemistry to a semiconductor device processing apparatus. The dilution stage includes a first vessel adapted to store the chemistry after dilution and a second vessel adapted to store the chemistry prior to dilution. The dilution stage may also include a control mechanism which is adapted to selectively control flowing of the chemistry and a dilutant to the first vessel. The control mechanism may be operative to fill the second vessel with the chemistry, and to flow the dilutant to the first vessel via the second vessel.

    摘要: Pad-assisted electropolishing of the substrate is conducted by performing anodic dissolution of metal at a first portion of the substrate and simultaneously mechanically buffing a second portion of the substrate with a buffing pad. Anodic dissolution includes forming a thin liquid layer of electropolishing liquid between the anodic substrate and a cathodic electropolishing head. The location of electrical contacts between the substrate and power supply allow peripheral edge regions of the substrate to be mechanically buffed with the pad. Preferably, a substrate is further planararized using an isotropic material-removal technique. An apparatus includes an electropolishing head that is movable to a position proximate to a first portion of a substrate to form a thin gap, and a buffing pad that mechanically buffs a second portion of the substrate using minimal pressure.
