摘要:
A method is provided for creating a polish pad. This may involve determining a design layout of a wafer. The design layout may include a distribution of metal line features on the wafer. A polish pad design may be created/determined based on the determined layer. The polish pad may have asperities having a width greater than a width of metal line features of the wafer.

A slurry for use in a chemical mechanical polishing process for planarizing copper-based metal structures on a substrate comprises an oxidizer, an organic complexing agent, surfactants, and a plurality of copper-based metal abrasive particles, wherein the copper in the copper-based metal is capable of dissolving into the slurry and forming copper ion complexes. During the chemical mechanical polishing process, the copper removal rate may be selectively increased by increasing the concentration of copper metal abrasive particles in the slurry, and the copper removal rate may be selectively decreased by decreasing the concentration of copper metal abrasive particles in the slurry.

An apparatus for polishing a wafer comprising a rotatable polishing pad having a center of rotation and a rinse delivery conduit positioned adjacent to the polishing pad and substantially in radial alignment with the center. The rinse delivery conduit includes a plurality of nozzles to dispense a rinsing liquid. In one embodiment, the plurality of nozzles are configured and positioned to generate a higher flow rate of the rinsing liquid at the end of the rinse delivery conduit proximate to the center than at the end of the rinse delivery conduit distal to the center. In another embodiment, the rinse delivery conduit has a proximal end which is substantially adjacent the center and the distal end which is approximately adjacent an outer periphery of the pad.

摘要:
An efficient TCAD tool to analyze the variation of topography and thickness of interconnects and components of integrated circuits introduced by multiple-layer chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP). Contact stress distribution is determined on all scales as a function of topography. A formulation is used relating the pad deformation and therefore stress directly to pattern topography ({d}), and the pad mechanical properties. The 3-dimensional stress and deformation field is described, along with representation of the statistical pad roughness and slurry thickness information. These process conditions are also functions of the surface topography and contact regimes. The stress-topography relationship is represented as [A]{P}={d}, where [A] is the influence coefficient matrix determined by the contact mechanics, and {P} and {d} represent local stress and topography on patterns. With given initial topography and slurry rate kinetics, the surface evolution at each time step of CMP can be traced iteratively to obtain post-CMP topography.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining a transmission power of a secondary transmitter in a hierarchical spectrum sharing system. The method can comprise steps of obtaining channel quality information on a primary link from at least one primary receiver within a transmission range of the secondary transmitter; and determining the transmission power for the secondary transmitter based on the channel quality information, wherein the transmission power is matched with the channel quality indicated by the channel quality information. According to the embodiments of the present invention, a power control scheme is applied to the secondary transmitter based on the channel quality information on the primary link. In such a way, the secondary transmitter' throughput can be improved with controllable rate loss to the primary receiver and accordingly the spectrum efficiency for the whole system can be further upgraded.
