Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polishing pad and a method of polishing a semiconductor wafer. More specifically, it relates to a polishing pad comprising a window member for optical end-point detection, which prevents a leak of slurry from the gap between a polishing pad substrate and the window member and which enables the optical detection of the polishing end point to be carried out efficiently without a reduction in polishing efficiency caused by a scratched surface to be polished and to a method of polishing a semiconductor wafer with the polishing pad.
- the determination of the polishing end point for terminating polishing can be made based on a time obtained empirically.
- various materials are used to form surfaces to be polished and the polishing time differs by each material. It is conceivable that the material forming the surface to be polished will change in the future. Further, the same can be said of slurry used for polishing and a polishing machine. Therefore, it is extremely inefficient to obtain the polishing time from these.
- JP-A 9-7985 and JP-A 2000-326220 the term “JP-A” as used herein means an "unexamined published Japanese patent application”).
- a window which is made of a hard and homogeneous resin capable of transmitting light for end-point detection and having no essential property of absorbing and carrying abrasive grains contained in slurry is formed in a polishing pad, and the surface to be polished is observed only from this window (JP-A 11-512977).
- the polishing pad having this window is manufactured by pushing a window member into a hole formed in a polishing substrate.
- This polishing pad has a problem that optical end-point detection may become unsatisfactory due to a leak of slurry from the gap between the window member and the polishing pad substrate because the window member becomes loose during polishing.
- USP 6045439 discloses a method of bonding a window member to a polishing pad substrate with an adhesive and enumerates polyurethane elastomers, rubber cement and epoxy-based adhesives as preferred examples of the adhesive.
- the polyurethane elastomer adhesive has great adhesive force and excellent durability and fills the gap between the window member and the polishing pad substrate by swelling after curing, thereby contributing to the prevention of a leak of the slurry.
- the curing of the adhesive takes long, thereby reducing the production yield
- the window member is distorted by the swelling of the adhesive at the time of curing, whereby part of the window member may project from the surface of the polishing pad substrate and accordingly, a polishing pad having a smooth surface may not be obtained.
- rubber cement or a commonly used adhesive such as an epoxy-based adhesive is used, part of the adhesive may be solidified while it overflows into the polishing surface of the polishing pad or part of the adhesive solidified during polishing may fall off as a fragment, thereby scratching the surface to be polished.
- the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies on a polishing pad used for polishing, making use of an optical end-point detection device, specifically a method of fixing a window member to a polishing pad and have found that efficient polishing can be carried out through optical end-point detection by bonding and fixing a light transmitting member as the window member in a polishing pad substrate without a gap between them with a photocurable adhesive to prevent a leak of slurry from the gap during polishing and a bad phenomenon such as scratching.
- the present invention has been accomplished based on this finding.
- a polishing pad comprising a polishing substrate having a through hole extending from its polishing surface to the opposite surface and a light transmitting member arranged in the through hole, said outer wall of the light transmitting member being bonded to the inner wall of the through hole opposed to the outer wall with a photocured adhesive layer so that the light transmitting member is fixed in the through hole.
- a polishing laminated pad comprising the polishing pad of the present invention and a base layer having light transmission properties formed on the surface opposite to the polishing surface of the polishing pad.
- the above objects and advantages of the present invention are attained by a method of polishing a semiconductor wafer with a polishing pad, wherein the polishing pad or the polishing laminated pad of the present invention is used and the polishing end point of the semiconductor wafer is detected by an optical end-point detection device through the light transmitting member of the polishing pad or the polishing laminate pad.
