    摘要: The present invention relates to the manufacture and use of novel pre-coated abrasive particles and particle slurries for the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of semiconductor wafers, thin films, inter-layer dielectric, metals, and other components during integrated circuit, flat panel display, or MEMS manufacturing. For example, polishing slurry abrasive particles can be pre-coated with additives, such as, inhibitors and/or surfactants during manufacture of the abrasive particles or slurry. The additive's opportunity to react directly with the abrasive particles early in the particle manufacturing process provides a slurry having a more stable, selectable, and predictable ratio of abrasive particles pre-coated with a more stable, selectable, and predictable amount and type of additives.

    摘要: A method of forming and a device including an interconnect structure having a unidirectional electrical conductive material is described. The unidirectional conductive material may overlie interconnect materials, and/or may surround interconnect materials, such as by lining the walls and base of a trench and via. The unidirectional conductive material may be configured to conduct electricity in a direction corresponding to a projection to or from a contact point and conductive material overlying the unidirectional conductive material, but have no substantial electrical conductivity in other directions. Moreover, the unidirectional conductive material may be electrically conductive in a direction normal to a surface over which it is formed or in directions along or across a plane, but have no substantial electrical conductivity in other directions. Finally, the unidirectional conductive material may have properties tending to reduce metal diffusion, reduce electron migration, provide adhesion or bonding, and/or act as an etch stop.

    摘要: Embodiments of methods and apparatus in accordance with the present invention provide a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process that provides single or multiple polishing pads to have a different rotational velocity, applied pressure and oscillation frequency on the surface of the substrate to address and compensate for the WIW (with-in-substrate) and WID (with-in-die) non-uniformities in planarization ability. The velocity of each polishing pad is adjustable providing a closer match to the substrate surface velocity over a particular zone to yield a linear velocity on the surface of the substrate.
