Description
본 발명은 반도체 디바이스(device) 제조시 CMP(Chemical Mechanical Polishing/Planarization) 공정에 적용되는 텅스텐 배선 연마용 CMP 슬러리에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 종래 CMP 슬러리에서 기계적 연마제로 사용되던 금속산화물을 사용하지 않고 과산화 화합물과 알코올을 산화제로 사용한 텅스텐 배선 연마용 CMP 슬러리에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a tungsten wire polishing CMP slurry applied to a chemical mechanical polishing / planarization (CMP) process in the manufacture of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, does not use a metal oxide that has been used as a mechanical abrasive in a conventional CMP slurry. The present invention relates to a tungsten wire polishing CMP slurry using a peroxide compound and an alcohol as an oxidant.
일반적으로 CMP 공정은 웨이퍼를 폴리우레탄 재질의 연마용 패드에 접촉시켜 회전 운동과 직선 운동을 결합한 오비탈 운동을 하여 연마를 진행한다. 이때 화학적인 역할과 기계적인 역할을 가질 수 있도록 슬러리를 패드위에 떨어뜨려 공정에 적합한 성능을 가지도록 한다. CMP 공정에 사용되는 슬러리는 연마대상에 따라서 절연층 연마용 슬러리와 금속층 연마용 슬러리로 구분지을 수 있다. 절연층 연마용 슬러리는 반도체 공정중 ILD(Interlayer dielectric) 공정, IMD(Intermetal dielectric) 또는 STI(Shallow trench isolation)공정에 적용되고, 금속층 연마용 슬러리는 텅스텐 또는 알루미나, 구리 배선 등의 평탄화, 플러그 또는 이중 상감공정에 사용된다. In general, in the CMP process, the wafer is contacted with a polishing pad made of polyurethane, and the polishing is performed by performing an orbital motion combining a rotational motion and a linear motion. At this time, to have a chemical role and a mechanical role, the slurry is dropped on the pad to have a performance suitable for the process. The slurry used in the CMP process may be classified into an insulating layer polishing slurry and a metal layer polishing slurry depending on the polishing target. The slurry for polishing an insulating layer is applied to an interlayer dielectric (ILD) process, an intermetal dielectric (IMD) or a shallow trench isolation (STI) process in a semiconductor process, and the slurry for polishing a metal layer is planarized, such as tungsten or alumina, copper wiring, plug or Used for double damascene process.
현재 CMP 공정은 반도체 제조과정 중 패턴 형성과 평탄화를 동시에 진행되는 상감공정(Damascening Process) 및 플러그 형성 공정에 적용되고 있는데 이 때 금속층과 절연층간의 선택비가 중요하게 된다. 선택비가 떨어지는 경우에는 디싱 또는 에로젼이 발생하는데 이 경우 다음 공정에서 배선간의 연결이 단락이 되는 등의 문제를 갖게 된다. 따라서 이를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 광촉매 등을 슬러리에 첨가하여 사용하고 있으나 이 경우에도 분산된 금속산화물의 입자가 뭉침 현상 또는 침강 현상을 촉진하여 슬러리 저장 및 사용상의 어려움이 있다는 단점을 갖는다. 더욱이 이러한 분산된 입자의 뭉침 또는 침강은 반도체 웨이퍼 연마시에 스크래치를 발생시키므로 큰 결함을 발생시킨다. 특히 실리카(SiO2)를 연마입자로 사용할 경우 분산액의 pH가 등전위점(Iso-electric point)에 근접해 있어 상기 언급한 뭉침 현상뿐만 아니라 정전기로 인하여 연마 후에도 연마 표면에 실리카 입자가 잔류하는 문제점을 낳는다.Currently, the CMP process is applied to a damascene process and a plug formation process in which pattern formation and planarization are simultaneously performed during the semiconductor manufacturing process. At this time, the selection ratio between the metal layer and the insulating layer becomes important. If the selectivity falls, dishing or erosion occurs. In this case, there is a problem such as a short-circuit connection between wirings in the next process. Therefore, a photocatalyst or the like is added to the slurry as a method for improving the same. However, even in this case, the dispersed metal oxide particles promote agglomeration or sedimentation, and thus have difficulty in storing and using the slurry. Moreover, the aggregation or sedimentation of such dispersed particles causes scratches in polishing semiconductor wafers and thus causes large defects. In particular, when silica (SiO 2 ) is used as the abrasive particles, the pH of the dispersion is close to the iso-electric point, which causes the problem of silica particles remaining on the polishing surface after polishing due to static electricity as well as the above-mentioned agglomeration phenomenon. .
상기와 같은 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 본 발명에서는 슬러리의 연마제로서 금속산화물의 사용을 배제함으로써 슬러리의 저장안정성을 유지하되 스크래치 및 웨이퍼 입자 잔류 등의 결함을 근본적으로 줄일 수 있는 CMP 슬 러리를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.In order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, in the present invention by removing the use of metal oxide as the abrasive of the slurry, while maintaining the storage stability of the slurry, it is possible to fundamentally reduce the defects such as scratches and residual wafer particles To provide a library.
즉, 본 발명의 한 측면은 과산화 화합물, 알코올, 카르복시산, 리놀레산, 무기 산화제, 금속 착화합물, pH 조절제 및 탈이온수를 포함하는 텅스텐 배선 연마용 CMP 슬러리를 제공하는 것이다.
That is, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a CMP slurry for tungsten wire polishing comprising peroxide compound, alcohol, carboxylic acid, linoleic acid, inorganic oxidant, metal complex, pH adjuster and deionized water.
이하, 본 발명에 관하여 보다 상세하게 설명하고자 한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
본 발명의 텅스텐 배선 연마용 CMP 슬러리는 과산화 화합물, 알코올, 카르복시산, 리놀레산, 무기 산화제, 금속 착화합물 및 pH 조절제를 탈이온수에 첨가하여 제조하는데, 바람직하게는 The tungsten wire polishing CMP slurry of the present invention is prepared by adding peroxide compound, alcohol, carboxylic acid, linoleic acid, inorganic oxidizing agent, metal complex and pH adjusting agent to deionized water, preferably
과산화 화합물 1~10 중량%;1 to 10 wt% peroxide compound;
알코올 0.1~5 중량%;0.1-5% by weight of alcohol;
카르복시산 0.01~3 중량%;0.01-3% by weight of carboxylic acid;
리놀레산 0.01~0.5 중량%;0.01 to 0.5 wt% linoleic acid;
무기 산화제 0.001~0.1 중량%;0.001-0.1 wt% inorganic oxidizing agent;
금속 착화합물 0.001~1중량%; 및 0.001 to 1% by weight of a metal complex; And
pH 조절제 0.0001~ 0.1 중량%를 포함한다. pH adjuster 0.0001 to 0.1% by weight.
본 발명에 사용된 과산화 화합물 및 알코올은 텅스텐 표면을 산화시키기 위한 산화제의 역할을 하는 것으로 알코올이 과산화 화합물의 라디칼 성장반응 (radical propagation)을 촉진하여 하이드록시 라디칼(hydroxyl radical)이 생성된다. 이렇게 생성된 하이드록시 라디칼은 웨이퍼 표면에 증착된 텅스텐과 반응하여 텅스텐 라디칼(tungsten radical)을 거쳐 텅스텐 삼산화물(tungsten trioxide) 또는 텅스텐 이산화물(tungsten dioxide) 등의 산화물을 형성함으로써 텅스텐의 경도를 낮추고 그 결과 연마성능을 나타내도록 한다.The peroxide compound and the alcohol used in the present invention serve as an oxidizing agent for oxidizing the tungsten surface, and the alcohol promotes the radical propagation of the peroxide compound to generate hydroxy radicals. The hydroxy radicals thus formed react with tungsten deposited on the wafer surface to form an oxide such as tungsten trioxide or tungsten dioxide through tungsten radicals, thereby lowering the hardness of tungsten and The resulting polishing performance is shown.
본 발명의 목적을 저해하지 않는 한 그 종류에 특별히 제한을 받지 않으며, 바람직하게는 상기 과산화 화합물은 과산화수소(hydrogen peroxide), 과산화칼슘 (calcium peroxide), 과산화바륨(barium peroxide) 또는 과산화나트륨(sodium peroxide)을 단독 또는 2종 이상 혼합하여 사용하고, 상기 알코올은 메탄올 (methanol), 에탄올(ethanol) 또는 프로판올(propanol)을 단독 또는 2종 이상 혼합하여 사용할 수 있다. 그 첨가량은 전체 슬러리에 대비하여, 과산화 화합물이 1~10 중량%, 바람직하게는 3~8 중량%이고, 알코올이 0.1~5 중량%, 바람직하게는 0.2~3 중량%이다. 상기 범위를 벗어나는 경우 연마속도 저하 현상이 발생하거나 침식(corrosion)이 심각하게 되어 금속층 웨이퍼 연마가 어려워 진다.The type of peroxide compound is not particularly limited so long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. Preferably, the peroxide compound is hydrogen peroxide, calcium peroxide, barium peroxide, or sodium peroxide. ) May be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof, and the alcohol may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds of methanol, ethanol or propanol. The addition amount is 1 to 10% by weight, preferably 3 to 8% by weight, and 0.1 to 5% by weight of alcohol, preferably 0.2 to 3% by weight, based on the total slurry. If the range is out of the above range, the polishing rate decreases or the corrosion is serious, which makes it difficult to polish the metal layer wafer.
본 발명에서 사용되는 카르복시산은 과산화 화합물을 사용함으로써 발생되는 슬러리 자체의 자동산화반응을 억제하기 위한 것으로서, 카르복시기가 과산화 화합물의 분해를 방지한다. 본 발명의 목적을 저해하지 않는 한 그 종류에 제한을 받지 않으며 시트르산(citric acid), 옥살산(oxalic acid), 말산(malic acid), 말레산(maleic acid), 프로피온산(propionic acid) 또는 포름산(formic acid)을 단독 또는 2종 이상 혼합하여 첨가할 수 있으며 첨가량은 전체 슬러리 조성물 대비 0.01∼3 중량%, 보다 바람직하게는 0.1∼2 중량%이다.The carboxylic acid used in the present invention is for suppressing the automatic oxidation reaction of the slurry itself generated by using the peroxide compound, and the carboxyl group prevents decomposition of the peroxide compound. As long as the object of the present invention is not impeded, the type is not limited and citric acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, propionic acid or formic acid acid) may be added alone or in combination of two or more thereof, and the amount is 0.01 to 3% by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 2% by weight based on the total slurry composition.
또한 상기 카르복시산(carboxylic acid)에 리놀레산(linoleic aicd)을 추가로 첨가할 경우, 카르복시산이 과산화물의 라디칼 반응을 과도하게 억제하여 반도체 공정에서 요구되는 수준의 연마성능을 달성하지 못하는 문제점을 개선할 수 있다. 즉, 리놀레산은 라디칼 산화반응이 시작되면 그 반응을 촉진시킴으로써 카르복시산의 산화반응 억제 기능을 약화시키는 역할을 한다. 그 첨가량은 0.01∼0.5 중량%가 바람직하며, 0.02∼0.04 중량%를 첨가하는 것이 보다 바람직하다. 이 범위를 벗어날 경우 과산화물의 작용이 원활히 되지 않아 연마성능 중 연마속도에서 문제를 일으키게 된다.In addition, when linoleic acid is further added to the carboxylic acid, the carboxylic acid may excessively suppress the radical reaction of the peroxide, thereby improving the problem of failing to achieve the required level of polishing performance in the semiconductor process. . That is, linoleic acid plays a role in weakening the oxidative inhibitory function of the carboxylic acid by promoting the reaction when the radical oxidation reaction starts. 0.01-0.5 weight% is preferable, and, as for the addition amount, it is more preferable to add 0.02-0.04 weight%. If it is out of this range, the peroxide does not work smoothly, which causes a problem in polishing rate during polishing performance.
본 발명의 슬러리에 사용되는 무기산화제는 슬러리가 산화력을 갖도록 하기 위한 것으로 본 발명의 목적을 저해하지 않는 한 그 종류에 제한을 받지 않으며 예를 들면, 질산, 황산(sulfuric acid), 염산(hydrochloric acid) 또는 인산 (phosphoric acid) 등을 사용할 수 있다. 연마 공정 이후의 오염 등의 문제를 고려할 때 질산이 가장 바람직하다. 그 첨가량은 0.001 중량%~0.1 중량%가 바람직하며, 0.001 중량%~0.05 중량%를 첨가하는 것이 보다 바람직하다. 상기한 과산화 화합물의 경우와 마찬가지로 무기산화제 역시 상기 범위보다 과량으로 첨가될 경우, 산화력이 너무 강하여 옥사이드 에로젼(oxide erosion), 침식(corrosion), 피칭 (pitching) 또는 디싱(dishing) 등이 일어날 수 있으며, 소량 첨가시에는 반도체 공정에서 요구되는 연마속도를 얻을 수 없다.The inorganic oxidizing agent used in the slurry of the present invention is intended to have a oxidizing power, and is not limited to the type so long as it does not impair the object of the present invention. For example, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid ) Or phosphoric acid may be used. Nitric acid is most preferred in view of problems such as contamination after the polishing process. 0.001 weight%-0.1 weight% are preferable, and, as for the addition amount, it is more preferable to add 0.001 weight%-0.05 weight%. As in the case of the above-mentioned peroxide compound, when the inorganic oxidizer is added in excess of the above range, the oxidizing power is so strong that oxide erosion, corrosion, pitching or dishing may occur. In addition, when a small amount is added, the polishing rate required in the semiconductor process cannot be obtained.
본 발명의 슬러리에서 사용되는 금속-착화합물은 침식 및 피칭을 방지하기 위하여 첨가되는 것으로 금속-착화합물의 킬레이트 작용을 이용하여 텅스텐 산화물에 안정성을 부여하면서 이를 쉽게 제거할 수 있도록 한다. 상기 금속-착화합물은 본 발명의 목적을 저해하지 않는 한 그 종류에 제한을 받지 않으며 예를 들면, 철-프로필렌다이아민테트라아세트산(PDTA-Fe), 철-에틸렌다이아민테트라아세트산 (EDTA-Fe), 마그네슘-프로필렌다이아민테트라아세트산(PDTA-Mg) 또는 망간-프로필렌다이아민테트라아세트산(PDTA-Mn)을 사용할 수 있다. 그 첨가량은 0.001 중량%에서 1중량%가 바람직하며, 보다 바람직하게는 0.005 중량%에서 0.5 중량%를 첨가한다. 금속-착화합물의 첨가량이 상기의 양보다 적을 경우, 산화막 제거 속도가 낮아져 CMP 공정에서 기대하는 연마속도를 얻기 어려우며, 상기의 양보다 많을 경우 텅스텐 산화막의 안정성이 과도하게 증가되어 연마속도가 떨어지고 그 결과 반도체 연마공정에 적용하기 곤란하게 된다.The metal-complex compound used in the slurry of the present invention is added to prevent erosion and pitching so that the metal-complex compound can be easily removed while giving stability to tungsten oxide using the chelate action of the metal-complex compound. The metal-complexing compound is not limited in kind as long as it does not impair the object of the present invention, for example, iron-propylenediaminetetraacetic acid (PDTA-Fe), iron-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA-Fe) , Magnesium-propylenediaminetetraacetic acid (PDTA-Mg) or manganese-propylenediaminetetraacetic acid (PDTA-Mn) can be used. The addition amount is preferably 0.001% by weight to 1% by weight, more preferably 0.005% by weight to 0.5% by weight. If the addition amount of the metal-complex compound is less than the above amount, the removal rate of the oxide film is lowered, so that it is difficult to obtain the polishing rate expected in the CMP process. If the amount is more than the above amount, the stability of the tungsten oxide film is excessively increased, resulting in a decrease in the polishing rate. It becomes difficult to apply to a semiconductor polishing process.
본 발명의 슬러리를 텅스텐 배선의 연마에 사용하기 위해서는 pH가 4이하인 조건에서의 산화막 형성이 필요하다. 따라서 이 범위를 유지하기 위해서 슬러리의 pH를 조절할 필요가 있는데 일반적으로 산으로는 질산 또는 황산을, 염기로는 수산화칼륨 또는 암모니아를 첨가하여 pH를 조절한다. 텅스텐 연마용 슬러리의 pH는 2 내지 4 범위를 갖는 것이 바람직하며, 보다 바람직하게는 2.5 내지 3.5 범위이다. pH가 상기 범위를 벗어나는 경우 금속 배선에 산화막이 형성되지 않고 부식이 발생되거나, 슬러리의 화학적 연마작용이 일어날 수 없어서 연마속도가 급격히 떨어지는 현상이 일어날 수 있다.In order to use the slurry of the present invention for polishing a tungsten wiring, an oxide film is formed at a pH of 4 or less. Therefore, in order to maintain this range, it is necessary to adjust the pH of the slurry. Generally, the pH is adjusted by adding nitric acid or sulfuric acid as an acid and potassium hydroxide or ammonia as a base. The pH of the tungsten polishing slurry preferably has a range of 2 to 4, more preferably 2.5 to 3.5. When the pH is out of the above range, corrosion may occur without forming an oxide film on the metal wire, or a chemical polishing action of the slurry may not occur, and thus a sharp drop in polishing rate may occur.
