An Evaluation on The Effects of Newly Designed Abrasives in CMP Slurry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 March 2011
Abstract
Newly designed abrasives with various particle morphology and component have been prepared and evaluated in terms of polish efficiency for CMP application. Polymer sphere with uniformed particle size and special functional group were prepared by soap-free emulsion polymerization. CMP slurry including polymer abrasives indicated characteristic properties such as dishing, erosion and low defectivity for metal and dielectric surface. This study has been also conducted on the preparation of composite particles consisting of polymer core covered with inorganic composition such as zirconium compound, titanium compound, SiO2 and Al2O3. The controlled hydrolysis and heterocoagulation systems were proposed as preparation methods of composite particles. 1st step Cu-CMP Slurry with composite particles as abrasion indicated an excellent dishing, erosion and their over-polish-margin. Particularly these composite particles were useful to prevent increasing scratch on the TEOS and low-k dielectric materials surface in 2nd step CMP process.
