    摘要: An oxidizing slurry for removal of low dielectric constant materials. The slurry is formed utilizing non-oxidizing particles with a separate oxidizing agent, oxidizing particles alone or reducible abrasive particles with a compatible oxidizing agent. The particles can be formed of a metal oxide, nitride, or carbide material, by itself or mixtures thereof, or can be coated on a core material such as silicon dioxide or can be coformed therewith. A preferred oxidizing slurry is multi-modal in particle size distribution. Although developed for utilization in CMP semiconductor processing the oxidizing slurry of the present invention also can be utilized for other high precision polishing processes.

    摘要: A process for the formation and planarization of polymeric dielectric films on semiconductor substrates and for achieving high chemical mechanical polish removal rates when planarizing these films. A cured, globally planarized, polymeric dielectric thin film is produced on a semiconductor substrate by (a) depositing a polymeric, dielectric film composition onto a surface of a semiconductor substrate; (b) partially curing the deposited film; (c) performing a chemical mechanical polishing step to said partially cured dielectric film, until said dielectric film is substantially planarized; and (d) subjecting the polished film to an additional curing step. Preferred dielectric films are polyarylene ether and/or fluorinated polyarylene ether polymers which are deposited by a spin coating process onto a semiconductor substrate. A thermal treatment partially cures the polymer. A chemical mechanical polishing step achieves global planarization. Another thermal treatment accomplishes a final cure of the polymer. In this way, the chemical mechanical polishing removal rate is increased compared to the removal rate for a fully cured polymer film.

    摘要: A method for cleaning the surface of a semiconductor wafer having an organic dielectric film thereon by removing residual slurry particles adhered to the wafer surface after chemical-mechanical planarization is provided. The semiconductor is subjected to a post CMP cleaning step by applying mechanical frictional force to the surface of the wafer while concurrently applying to the wafer surface and aqueous solution having a pH of greater than 10 for a period of time sufficient to wet and clean the wafer surface, the basic aqueous solution comprised of a surfactant and a tetra alkyl quaternary ammonium hydroxide compound such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide.
