Description of the Invention (i) The present invention relates to a device for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, and it is particularly It is about a slurry supply buffer device. The current semiconductor manufacturing has entered into the process of Deep Sub-Micron in response to the working speed of electronic equipment. In this process, due to the reduction in chip size, the depth of field of the Photo Lithography instrument (Depth) of Focus) is getting smaller and smaller and the number of layers stacked in the Multi-Level Metal Interconnect (MLM) process is increasing. How to maintain good planarity of the chip during the manufacturing process becomes an important issue. Subject. When the semiconductor has not yet entered the deep sub-micron process, the spin-on glass (SOG) process is the main method for wafer planarization, but this method can only maintain the wafer in a local area. The flat effect does not make the whole wafer in a global (flat) situation. This makes the development situation bad due to the limitations of the exposure machine (Expose) in the lithography process, and the etching (Etch) ) In the process, it is easy to cause the end point detection signal to be wrong, which leads to the decrease of the yield of the wafer. Therefore, when entering the deep sub-micron process, the planarization of the wafer depends on chemical mechanical honing. Polishing (CMP) process. The main reason is that chemical mechanical honing technology provides a good overall planarization effect of the wafer. Therefore, chemical mechanical honing technology has become an indispensable technology in deep sub-micron processes. In the chemical mechanical honing process, honing paste is one of the extremely important materials. 'Because the wafer is used in the honing process, the pulp is connected to the wafer surface. _ 3 This paper + National Samples (CNS) from the secret ( 21GX297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Order-!

Description of the invention (>) It has achieved its purpose of honing, so the supply of honing slurry has a decisive influence on the chemical mechanical honing process. The traditional chemical mechanical honing device directly connects the chemical pulp honing system to the chemical mechanical honing machine. Often due to the failure of the chemical pulp honing system, the chemical mechanical honing machine must be stopped accordingly, resulting in a continuous chemical mechanical honing process. Disruption, which reduces production capacity. Please refer to FIG. 1. Although it is conventional to configure a slurry buffer tank 130 between the slurry supply system 110 and the chemical mechanical honing machine table 150, when the slurry supply system 110 fails, the slurry The buffer tank 130 continues to supply the honing slurry to the chemical mechanical honing machine table 150, so that the chemical mechanical honing machine table 150 can continue to work, and at the same time, there is a buffer time to repair the honing slurry supply system 110. However, when the pulp supply system Π0 stops supplying pulp without warning, there are often situations where the pulp buffer tank 130 is empty without pulp output, causing the wafer to be honed in a pulp-free state, resulting in wafers. Scrapped. Therefore, the present invention provides a slurry supply buffer device, which can detect the liquid level of the slurry in the slurry buffer tank, thereby controlling the input of the slurry, and when the liquid level of the slurry is too low, a warning signal can be automatically issued. Avoid situations where there is no pulp output. The present invention provides a slurry supply buffer device, which at least includes: a slurry buffer tank connected between a chemical mechanical honing machine table and a slurry supply system for holding the slurry from the slurry supply system ' And output the pulp to the chemical mechanical honing machine table; a control switch 'matched between the pulp supply system and the pulp buffer tank, the switch state of the control switch' controls the pulp supply 4 ^^ 1- ^ -1 »0 -I-II ijn —1ί: -1!

Description of the invention (}) Whether the pulp of the system is input to the pulp buffer tank: and a liquid level detector for detecting the pulp buffer tank The position of the liquid level in the slurry is used to determine the switch state of the control switch to control the input of the slurry and avoid the situation where the slurry buffer tank is empty without the output of the slurry. The liquid level detector uses, for example, a constant-pressure gas supply device and a pressure sensor. The constant pressure gas supply device is used to input a certain pressure of gas to the slurry buffer tank, and the pressure sensor is used to detect the gas pressure in the blade paddle buffer tank to determine the liquid level position of the slurry in the slurry buffer tank. In addition, a control signal is transmitted to the control switch to determine the switching state of the control switch. The constant-pressure gas supply device and pressure sensor are used to detect the liquid level position of the slurry, which has a better sensing degree and can quickly and correctly provide the liquid level position of the slurry.

In the second figure, the pulp supply buffer device 200 is connected to the pulp supply device Π0 and the chemical The mechanical honing machine table 150 replaces the traditional paddle buffer tank. Still referring to FIG. 2 'the paddle supply buffer device 200 includes a paddle buffer tank 210, a liquid level detector 220, and a control switch 230. Among them, The pulp buffer tank 210 is connected between the pulp supply system U0 and the chemical mechanical honing machine table 150 to hold the pulp from the pulp supply system 110 and output the pulp in the pulp buffer tank 210 to the chemical machinery. The honing machine table 150 is used for honing. The control switch 230 is connected to the pipeline between the pulp supply system 11 and the pulp buffer tank 210, or is directly arranged at the entrance of the pulp buffer tank 210, which is controlled by the control. The switch state of the switch 230 controls whether or not the pulp provided by the pulp supply system 110 is input to the pulp buffer tank 210 through the pipeline. That is, when the control switch 230 is in the "on" state, Pulp through control switch 230 flows into the mortar buffer tank 210, and when the control switch 230 is in the "off" state, no mortar flows into the mortar buffer tank 210. The liquid level detector 220 is used to detect the water in the mortar buffer tank 210. The liquid level position of the pulp 'and the detected liquid level position transmit the control signal to the control switch 230 through mechanical transmission or telecommunication, so as to determine the switch state of the control switch 230 to control whether the pulp is input into the pulp buffer tank. 210. The liquid level detector 22 detects the liquid level position of the slurry and controls the input of the slurry based on the liquid level position to achieve the effect of automatic feedback control. 7 This paper size applies to Zhong Guanxu Zhun (C ^ S) Eighty Four Secrets (21GX297 mm) ---------- install ---;-order --- Ge M-( Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) ^ 4T53fwf.docy doc / 008 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (d) In addition * When the liquid level detector 220 detects When the horizontal position of the slurry level is lower than a certain level, a warning signal can be transmitted to the central control system to stop the operation of the chemical mechanical honing machine table 150 to avoid wafer honing in the state without slurry, resulting in wafer scrap. Embodiment 1 Please refer to FIG. 3, which shows an embodiment related to FIG. 2, which is a detailed configuration diagram. Please refer to FIG. 2 for comparison. In the chemical mechanical honing apparatus 100, the pulp supply system 110 provides the pulp to be conveyed to the pulp buffer tank 210 via the pipeline I22. The mortar buffer tank 210 is composed of a closed container 212, and the shape is, for example, cylindrical. Its size is, for example, about 80 cm in diameter and about 100 cm in height. The mortar 214 is used for buffering, and the rest is gas 218. A liquid level detector 220 is arranged on the mortar buffer tank 210 to detect the liquid level position 216 of the mortar 214 in the mortar buffer tank 210. The liquid level detector 22 is composed of a constant pressure gas input device 222 and a pressure sensor 224, for example. The constant-pressure gas input device 222 is, for example, a nitrogen tube (N2) having a pressure of about 1 kg / cm2 through a thin tube having a diameter of 1 mm, and is passed into the pulp buffer tank 210. Then, the pressure of the gas 218 in the pulp buffer tank 210 is detected by the pressure sensor 224 to determine the level of the liquid level position 216 of the pulp. The constant pressure gas supply device 222 and the pressure sensor 224 are used to detect the liquid level position 216 of the slurry, which has a better sensing degree and can quickly and accurately provide the liquid level position of the slurry. When the liquid level position 216 remains fixed, the pressure sensor 216 detects a fixed pressure. When the liquid level position 216 drops, the space of 'gas 218 follows 8 t-fin m ^ —rf ^^^^ 1 (please first Read the note on the back and fill in this page) This paper size applies to Chinese national standards (CNS > A4 size (2 丨 0X297 mm) 4953twf.d〇c / 008 Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Note ()) increases, so the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 224 decreases accordingly. Conversely, when the liquid level position 216 rises, the pressure detected by the 'pressure sensor 224 rises accordingly. Therefore, the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 224 can determine the level of the liquid level position 216. In addition, the pressure sensor 224 converts the detected pressure into signals and transmits them to the control switch 230 and the central control system 300 ′ or directly to the central control system 300, and then the central control system 300 transmits the control signals to the control. Switch 230. The control switch 230 is connected to the pipeline 122 or the entrance of the pulp buffer tank 210. The switch state of the control switch 230 controls whether the slurry supplied from the propeller supply system 110 is input to the burst buffer tank 21. The control switch 230 is constituted by a valve 232 and an activation device 234, for example. The starting device 234 receives a control signal from the pressure sensor 224 and controls the opening and closing status of the valve 232. When the activation device 234 receives the "open" control signal, it opens the valve 232 to allow the pulp to flow into the pulp buffer tank 210. On the other hand, when receiving the "close" control signal, the valve 232 is closed, so that the pulp cannot flow into the pulp buffer tank 210. The slurry 214 pipeline in the slurry buffer tank 210 is output to the chemical mechanical honing mill table 150, and the connection of the pipeline is shown in the figure, for example. The slurry 214 is pumped through the pump 143, passes through the pipeline 142, the three-way valve 148, and the pipeline 146, and enters the chemical mechanical honing machine table 150. The other line 144 is connected from the three-way valve 14S back to the pulp buffer tank 210. The three-way valve M8 determines whether the slurry 2H is output to the chemical mechanical honing machine table 150 or returned to the slurry buffer tank 21o. When the pressure sensor 224 detects that the liquid level position 216 of the pulp slurry 2! 4 in the pulp buffer tank 21 is at the set standard height, 'Transfer " Close " Control 9 This paper size is applicable to the Chinese national standard ( CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) — ^ 1 ί-I--nn—PI-1 1 ^ 1-— I!-L * — -q *-(Please read the notes on the back before filling (This document) A7 B7 4HS92 4953twf.doc / 〇〇8 V. Description of the invention (γ) Signal to start device 234, close valve 232, stop conveying pulp to pulp buffer tank 210. When the mortar 2 in the mortar buffer tank 21 is output to the chemical mechanical honing machine 150, the liquid level position 216 of the mortar 214 is lowered accordingly. For example, when the liquid level position 216 is lowered to a quarter of the standard height At three o'clock, the “pressure sensor transmission” is turned on, and the “control signal to the starting device 234 'open valve 232' causes the slurry to be input into the burst buffer tank 210, returns the liquid level position 216 to a standard height, and then closes the valve 232. The liquid level position 216 is out of control. 'For example, when the pressure sensor 224 detects that the liquid level position 216 has dropped to one-half of the standard level, the pressure sensor 224 sends a warning signal to the central control system 300. Maintenance personnel perform emergency repairs, and at the same time, the chemical mechanical honing machine table 150 still has a buffer time to continue to operate. The liquid level position 216 of the slurry is detected by the pressure sensor 224, and controlled based on the liquid level position 216 The input of pulp can achieve the effect of automatic feedback control. From the above-mentioned preferred embodiments of the present invention, it can be known that the application of the pulp supply buffer device of the present invention can (1) when the pulp supply system fails, it can have Enough buffer time 'to troubleshoot. (2) The liquid level detector detects the liquid level of the pulp in the pulp buffer. On the one hand, the input of the pulp can be controlled to achieve automatic feedback control, and the other On the one hand, when the liquid level is too low, a warning signal is issued to prevent scrapping of the wafer due to the occurrence of no slurry output. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
