    摘要: An improved chemical mechanical polishing apparatus for planarizing semiconductor surface materials. The single rotating polishing platen with an attached pad of conventional CMP processes is replaced with two controlled independently driven, concentric and coplanar, polishing platens. The two co-planar polishing platens allows for separate adjustable options to the CMP polishing process. The options are provided by having pads of different material compositions and hardness. Moreover, an annular space is provided between the platens to introduce the usage of two slurry formulations, one to each pad, on the same CMP tool. The annular space between platens forming a drain path for catching and containing slurry waste.

    摘要: A new method is provided for the creation of STI regions. STI trenches are created in the surface of a substrate following conventional processing. A layer of STI oxide is deposited and, using an exposure mask that is a reverse mask of the mask that is used to create the STI pattern, impurity implants are performed into the surface of the deposited layer of STI oxide. In view of these processing conditions, the layer of STI oxide overlying the patterned layer of etch stop material is exposed to the impurity implants. This exposure alters the etch characteristics of the deposited layer of STI oxide where this STI oxide overlies the patterned layer of etch stop material. The etch rate of the impurity exposed STI oxide is increased by the impurity implantation, resulting in an etch overlying the patterned etch stop layer that proceeds considerably faster than the etch of the STI oxide that is deposited overlying the created STI trenches. With the significantly faster etch of the STI oxide where this oxide has been exposed to impurity implantation, the STI oxide removal can be equalized between the STI oxide that overlies the patterned etch stop layer and the oxide that has been deposited over the STI trenches.

    摘要: A method of fabricating at least one metal interconnect including the following steps. A structure having at least one exposed conductive structure is provided. A non-stick material layer is formed over the structure and the at least one exposed conductive structure. The non-stick material layer having an upper surface. The non-stick material layer is patterned to form a patterned non-stick material layer having at least one trench therethrough exposing at least a portion of the at least one conductive structure. A metal interconnect is formed in contact with the exposed portion of the at least one conductive structure within the at least one trench wherein the non-stick properties of the patterned non-stick material layer prevent accumulation of the metal comprising the metal interconnect upon the patterned upper surface of the patterned non-stick material layer. The at least one metal interconnect having an upper surface. The patterned non-stick material layer is removed. A planarized dielectric layer is formed over the structure exposing the upper surface of the at least one metal interconnect.
