본 발명은 반도체 제조의 CMP(Chemical Mechanical Planarization)공정에 사용되는 연마용 슬러리에 관한 것으로서, 구체적으로는 반도체 제조공정 중 ILD(Interlayer Dielectric) 공정 및/또는 STI(Shallow Trench Isolation) 공정에서 산화규소(SiO2)막과 질화규소(Si3N4)막의 연마 선택비를 향상시킬 수 있고, 불안정한 분산에 의한 필터 막힘 문제를 해결할 수 있는 CMP 슬러리에 관한 것이다. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a polishing slurry used in a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process of semiconductor manufacturing, and more particularly, to silicon oxide in an interlayer dielectric (ILD) process and / or a shallow trench isolation (STI) process during a semiconductor manufacturing process. The present invention relates to a CMP slurry capable of improving the polishing selectivity of the SiO 2 ) film and the silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) film and solving the problem of filter clogging due to unstable dispersion.

CMP(Chemical Mechanical Planarization, 화학적 기계적 평탄화)는 화학적 연마 및 기계적 연마가 동시에 상호작용을 하여 반도체 웨이퍼를 평탄화시키는 연마공정이다. 최근 반도체 소자의 고집적화, 고성능화에 따라 패턴의 선폭은 더욱 미세해지고, 구조는 점점 다층화되는 추세이며, 포토리소그래피(photolithography)의 정밀도 향상을 위해서는 각 공정에서의 층간 평탄도가 매우 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 평탄화 기술로서, 현재 가장 각광받고 있는 것이 CMP이며, CMP는 연마 대상 물질에 따라, 산화막(oxide) CMP, 금속(metal) CMP, 폴리실리콘(poly -Si) CMP 등 으로 분류되기도 한다. Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) is a polishing process in which chemical polishing and mechanical polishing simultaneously interact to planarize a semiconductor wafer. In recent years, the line width of the pattern becomes finer and the structure becomes more and more multilayered with high integration and high performance of semiconductor devices. In order to improve the precision of photolithography, the interlayer flatness in each process is an important factor. As such a planarization technique, CMP is currently attracting the most attention, and CMP may be classified into an oxide CMP, a metal CMP, a poly-Si CMP, and the like depending on the material to be polished.

이 중, 산화막을 연마하는 CMP가 적용되는 반도체 공정은 대표적으로 ILD (Interlayer Dielectric) 공정과 STI(Shallow Trench Isolation)을 들 수 있으며, ILD공정은 층간 절연을 위해 과량으로 성막된 실리콘 산화막(silicon oxide)을 제거하기 위한 공정이고, STI공정은 칩(Chip)간 절연을 위해 트렌치(trench)를 형성하여 소자 분리를 하는 공정이다. Among these, semiconductor processes to which CMP is applied to polish oxide films are typically an interlayer dielectric (ILD) process and shallow trench isolation (STI), and an ILD process is an excessively formed silicon oxide film (silicon oxide) for interlayer insulation. ), And the STI process is a process of forming a trench to insulate the devices to insulate the chips.

CMP가 평탄화에 적용된 초기에는 산화막 연마를 위하여 실리카(SiO2) 슬러리가 주로 사용되었으나, 디자인 룰(design rule)이 작아지고, 소자가 박막화되어 고평탄화가 필요하게 됨에 따라, 기존의 실리카 슬러리 뿐 만 아니라, 이종(異種)의 막 간에 연마 선택비가 높은 산화세륨(CeO2) 슬러리를 적용하게 되었다. 산화세륨 슬러리는 실리콘 산화막에 대한 연마속도는 높고, 실리콘 질화막(Silicon Nitride, Si3N4)에 대한 연마속도는 매우 낮아, 단차가 있는 실리콘 산화막과 실리콘 질화막의 동시 연마시, 실리콘 산화막이 먼저 연마되고, 실리콘 질화막에서는 연마가 종료되는 식각 종료 기능을 가지는 것이 특징이다. 따라서, 이러한 산화세륨 슬러리를 산화막 CMP에 적용함으로써, 광역 평탄화(global planarization) 및 연마두께의 정밀한 제어가 가능하게 되었다. In the early days when CMP was applied to planarization, silica (SiO 2 ) slurries were mainly used for oxide polishing. However, as the design rule becomes smaller and the device becomes thinner and needs higher planarization, only conventional silica slurries are used. Rather, cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) slurries with high polishing selectivities were applied between heterogeneous films. The cerium oxide slurry has a high polishing rate for the silicon oxide film and a very low polishing rate for the silicon nitride film (Silicon Nitride, Si 3 N 4 ), so that the silicon oxide film is first polished at the same time when the stepped silicon oxide film and the silicon nitride film are simultaneously polished. The silicon nitride film is characterized by having an etching termination function in which polishing is completed. Therefore, by applying such a cerium oxide slurry to the oxide film CMP, global planarization and precise control of the polishing thickness can be achieved.

종래의 산화세륨 슬러리에 관해서는 보다 높은 연마 선택비를 갖도록 하기 위해 산화세륨 입자의 특성을 제어하거나, 첨가제를 추가하여 실리콘 질화막의 연마 속도를 현저히 낮춤으로 인해 실리콘 산화막과의 연마 선택비를 증진시키는 방 법을 사용한 예 들이 있으며, 한국등록특허 0366304호에서는 산화세륨 슬러리에 피리딘계 화합물을 첨가함으로써 연마성능을 향상시킨 예가 있다. As for the conventional cerium oxide slurry, it is possible to control the properties of the cerium oxide particles in order to have a higher polishing selectivity, or to add an additive to improve the polishing selectivity with the silicon oxide film by significantly lowering the polishing rate of the silicon nitride film. There are examples using the method, and in Korean Patent No. 0366304, there is an example in which polishing performance is improved by adding a pyridine compound to a cerium oxide slurry.

본 발명자들은 CMP 슬러리에 피리딘계 화합물을 첨가하는 경우, 슬러리 제조공정 중 불순물을 제거하기 위한 필터링 공정에서, 필터 후의 슬러리 내 연마입자 고형분의 함량이 급격히 줄어들게 되며, 반도체 웨이퍼의 연마 전에 실시하는 필터링 공정에서도 또 다시 연마입자 고형분의 함량이 줄어들어, 슬러리 제조시 손실이 발생함은 물론, 원하는 연마성능을 확보하지 못하는 문제점이 있음을 발견하였다. When the pyridine-based compound is added to the CMP slurry, the present inventors rapidly reduce the content of the solid particles in the slurry after the filter in the filtering process for removing impurities during the slurry manufacturing process, and performs the filtering process before polishing the semiconductor wafer. In addition, the content of the abrasive grains is reduced again, so that the loss occurs in the slurry production, as well as found that there is a problem that does not secure the desired polishing performance.

본 발명은 상기의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로서, 피리딘계 화합물 및/또는 벤조산계 화합물이 포함된 산화세륨 슬러리에, 비이온성 화합물을 첨가함으로써, 필터 막힘 또는 필터를 통한 연마입자 고형분 손실을 방지함과 동시에, 우수한 연마선택비를 갖는 CMP 슬러리를 제공하고자 한다. The present invention is to solve the above problems, by adding a non-ionic compound to the cerium oxide slurry containing a pyridine-based compound and / or benzoic acid-based compound, to prevent the clogging of the filter or the loss of solid particles through the filter and At the same time, it is intended to provide a CMP slurry with good polishing selectivity.

According to the present invention, when a nonionic compound of polyoxypropylene ether and / or polyoxyethylene oxypropylene copolymer is added to a CMP slurry together with a pyridine compound and / or a benzoic acid compound, the polishing rate of the silicon oxide film is improved. In addition, it is possible to increase the polishing selectivity between the silicon oxide film and the silicon nitride film, and solve the problem of filter clogging and loss of abrasive solids in the filtering process for removing impurities.

Therefore, in order to overcome this clogging phenomenon, non-reactive, highly dispersive and highly lubricating compounds, such as polyoxypropylene ether and / or polyoxyethylene oxypropylene copolymer, by additionally including in the CMP slurry, abrasive particles While maintaining the dispersion stability of the filter clogging and the loss of the solid particles was able to solve the problem.

When the pH of the slurry is within the above range, it is possible to maintain a high polishing rate for the silicon oxide film and to secure excellent dispersion stability without precipitation of the abrasive particles.

따라서, 본 발명의 CMP 슬러리는 적절한 pH범위를 유지하기 위하여, 상기의 함유물 이외에 pH 조절제를 더 포함할 수 있다. pH 조절제는 통상의 CMP 슬러리에서 pH를 조절하기 위하여 사용하는 산성 또는 염기성의 물질로서 당업자에게 알려진 것이라면 특별히 제한되지 않으며, 그 비제한적인 예로 염기성 물질로서는, 트리메탄올아민(Trimetanolamine), 트리에탄올아민(Trietanolamine), 트리메틸암모늄하이드록사이드(Trimethylammonium hydroxide), 트리에틸암모늄하이드록사이드(Triethylammonium hydroxide), 디메틸벤질아민(Dimethylbenzylamine), 에톡시벤질아민(Ethoxybenzyl amine) 및 수산화 칼륨(Potassium hydroxide) 등이 있으며, 산성 물질로서는, 염산(hydrochloric acid), 황산(sulfuric acid) 및 질산(nitric acid) 등이 있고, 상기 물질들은 단독으로 사용하거나 또는 2종이상 혼합하여 사용할 수 있다. Accordingly, the CMP slurry of the present invention may further include a pH adjusting agent in addition to the above-mentioned contents in order to maintain an appropriate pH range. The pH adjusting agent is not particularly limited as long as it is known to those skilled in the art as an acidic or basic substance used to control pH in a conventional CMP slurry. ), Trimethylammonium hydroxide, triethylammonium hydroxide, dimethylbenzylamine, ethoxybenzyl amine and potassium hydroxide. Examples of the substance include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and the like, which may be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof.

본 발명에 의한 CMP 슬러리는 탁월한 분산 안정성으로 인하여 일액형 형태로 사용이 가능한 장점이 있다. 상용의 CMP 슬러리는 연마 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 별도의 첨가제를 포함하는 경우가 많으나, 이로 인하여 분산 안정성이 심각하게 저해되어 슬러리 제조 후 반도체 웨이퍼 연마에 적용하기까지의 시간 동안 연마입자 고형분의 응집 및 침전 현상이 심하게 일어나는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 상용의 CMP 슬러리는 연마입자를 포함하는 슬러리와 연마성능 향상 첨가제를 포함하는 슬러리를 따로 제조한 후, 연마 공정에 적용하기 직전에 혼합하여 사용하는 이액형 형태를 가지는 경우가 대부분이다. 그러나, 본 발명에 의한 CMP 슬러리는 일액형 형태로 사용하더라도 연마입자 고형분의 응집 및 침전 현상이 일어나지 않고, 장시간 동안 우수한 분산 안정성을 보이는 장점이 있으며, 일액형 형태로서 연마공정에의 적용이 편리하고, 슬러리 물성 제어가 용이하며, 별도의 혼합으로 인한 반도체 연마공정에서의 슬러리 물성 편차를 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. CMP slurry according to the present invention has the advantage that can be used in one-component form due to excellent dispersion stability. Commercially available CMP slurries often contain separate additives to improve polishing performance.Because of this, the dispersion stability is severely impaired, which leads to agglomeration and precipitation of the abrasive grain solids during the time from the slurry preparation to application to semiconductor wafer polishing. There is a problem that occurs badly. Therefore, commercially available CMP slurries generally have a two-part form in which a slurry containing abrasive particles and a slurry containing abrasive performance improving additives are separately prepared and then mixed and used immediately before being applied to a polishing process. However, the CMP slurry according to the present invention has the advantage of exhibiting excellent dispersion stability for a long time without agglomeration and sedimentation of the solid particles of abrasive particles even when used in a one-component form, and is convenient to apply to the polishing process as a one-component form. In addition, it is easy to control the properties of the slurry, there is an advantage that can reduce the variation of the slurry properties in the semiconductor polishing process due to the separate mixing.

비교예6Comparative Example 6 상용실리카 슬러리 (SP4000)Commercial Silica Slurry (SP4000) 21002100 560560 9393

상기 표1에서 나타나듯이, 비교예6(상용의 실리카 슬러리)와 비교하여 실시예1 내지5 및 비교예1 내지5(산화세륨 슬러리)는 모두 산화규소막의 연마속도가 높고, 질화규소막의 연마속도가 낮아 높은 연마선택비를 구현할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.As shown in Table 1, in comparison with Comparative Example 6 (commercial silica slurry), Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 (cerium oxide slurry) were both high in polishing rate of silicon oxide film and high in polishing rate of silicon nitride film. It can be seen that low polishing selectivity can be achieved.

그러나, 비교예 1 내지 5는 불순물 제거를 위한 필터링 공정시 많은 양의 고형분이 필터를 통과하지 못하여 낮은 필터 효율을 알 수 있다. 이는 산화세륨계 슬러리에서 높은 연마선택비를 구현하기 위하여 첨가하는 피리딘계 화합물 또는 벤조산계 화합물이 슬러리의 분산 안정성을 심각하게 저해하여 연마입자의 응집이 발생시키거나, 피리딘계 화합물 또는 벤조산계 화합물과 금속산화물이 필터의 포어(pore)를 막아서 필터 막힘 현상을 나타내게 하는 것으로 생각된다. However, in Comparative Examples 1 to 5, a large amount of solids did not pass through the filter in the filtering process for removing impurities, thereby indicating low filter efficiency. This is because the pyridine compound or benzoic acid compound added in order to achieve high polishing selectivity in the cerium oxide slurry seriously inhibits the dispersion stability of the slurry, causing agglomeration of abrasive particles, or the pyridine compound or benzoic acid compound. It is believed that the metal oxides block the pores of the filter and cause the filter to become clogged.

이에 반하여, 산화세륨계 슬러리에 피리딘계 화합물 또는 벤조산계 화합물을 첨가하고, 비이온성 화합물로서 폴리옥시프로필렌에테르 또는 폴리옥시에틸렌옥시프로필렌 공중합체를 첨가한 실시예 1 내지 5는 높은 연마선택비를 그대로 유지한 상태에서, 필터 효율을 증가시킴을 알 수 있다. 특히, 실시예 1과 실시예4를 비교하고, 실시예 5와 비교예4를 비교해 보면 분자량이 증가할수록 연마량 및 필터효율이 감소함을 알 수가 있다. In contrast, Examples 1 to 5 in which a pyridine compound or a benzoic acid compound were added to a cerium oxide slurry and a polyoxypropylene ether or a polyoxyethyleneoxypropylene copolymer were added as a nonionic compound had high polishing selectivity. In the maintained state, it can be seen that the filter efficiency is increased. In particular, when Example 1 and Example 4 are compared, and Example 5 and Comparative Example 4 are compared, it can be seen that as the molecular weight increases, the polishing amount and the filter efficiency decrease.
