摘要:
A CMP composition containing 5-aminotetrazole, e.g., in combination with oxidizing agent, chelating agent, abrasive and solvent. Such CMP composition advantageously is devoid of BTA, and is useful for polishing surfaces of copper elements on semiconductor substrates, without the occurrence of dishing or other adverse planarization deficiencies in the polished copper, even in the presence of substantial levels of copper ions, e.g., Cu2+, in the bulk CMP composition at the copper/CMP composition interface during CMP processing.

A CMP composition containing a rheology agent, e.g., in combination with oxidizing agent, chelating agent, inhibiting agent, abrasive and solvent. Such CMP composition advantageously increases the materials selectivity in the CMP process and is useful for polishing surfaces of copper elements on semiconductor substrates, without the occurrence of dishing or other adverse planarization deficiencies in the polished copper.

A CMP composition and process for planarization of a semiconductor wafer surface having a copper barrier layer portion, said composition comprising an oxidizing agent, a boric acid component, and an abrasive.
摘要:
A method of passivating a CMP composition by dilution and determining the relationship between the extent of dilution and the static etch rate of copper. Such relationship may be used to control the CMP composition during the CMP polish to minimize the occurrence of dishing or other adverse planarization deficiencies in the polished copper, even in the presence of substantial levels of copper ions in the CMP composition and at the copper/CMP composition interface.
摘要:
Common sources of different (e.g., concentrated) process materials are controllably supplied to multiple blending manifolds associated with multiple process tools, processing stations, or other points of use, to create an independently controllable process material blend for each tool, station, or point of use. Multi-constituent process materials may be circulated from a supply container through a blending manifold to a return container to ensure homogeneity until immediately prior to blending and use. Such containers may include liner-based containers adapted for pressure dispensation.
摘要:
Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) compositions and single CMP platen process for the removal of copper and barrier layer material from a microelectronic device substrate having same thereon. The process includes the in situ transformation of a copper removal CMP composition, which is used to selectively remove and planarize copper, into a barrier removal CMP composition, which is used to selectively remove barrier layer material, on a single CMP platen pad.
摘要:
A chemical mechanical polishing process including a single copper removal CMP slurry formulation for planarization of a microelectronic device structure preferably having copper deposited thereon. The process includes the bulk removal of a copper layer using a first CMP slurry formulation having oxidizing agent, passivating agent, abrasive and solvent, and the soft polishing and over-polishing of the microelectronic device structure using a formulation including the first CMP slurry formulation and at least one additional additive. The CMP process described herein provides a high copper removal rate, a comparatively low barrier material removal rate, appropriate material selectivity ranges to minimize copper dishing at the onset of barrier material exposure, and good planarization efficiency.
摘要:
A semiconductive wafer having a layer of conductive material formed thereon is polished. The semiconductor wafer is rotated against an abrasive polishing pad. A solution is applied to the semiconductor wafer and to the abrasive polishing pad. The solution includes an etchant of the conductive material.
