- 2. Discussion of Related Art
- Polishing of a semiconductor substrate is further known as, polishing by chemical mechanical polishing or chemical mechanical planarization, CMP. Such polishing by CMP removes a layer of metal from an underlying barrier film of metal, and further removes the barrier film from an underlying dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate, which leaves a smooth, planar polished surface on the dielectric layer serving as a substrate on which successive layers of material are fabricated, and further which leaves electrical circuit interconnects of precise dimensions, which interconnects are imbedded in trenches that are flush with the polished surface.
- A known polishing pad, includes multiple posts extending upwardly from a base surface on the pad. Each of the posts has a top surface, which top surfaces collectively provide a polishing surface for the polishing pad. FIG. 1 discloses two of
such posts 4 extending from abase surface 6 on a polishing pad. Theposts 4 are made from a polishing medium that includes abrasive particles in a solid phase suspension medium. Such a pad having abrasive particles is also known as a fixed abrasive pad. Theposts 4 havetop surfaces 8 that collectively form the polishing surface on the polishing pad. The polishing surface has a topography of peaks, as provided by the projectingposts 4, and valleys formed by spaces among theposts 4. The topography transports and distributes polishing liquid or polishing fluid along the surface of a wafer which is being polished. A disadvantage of the invention is that the topography provides a single cutting edge on each post, which limits the rate at which material is removed from the semiconductor substrate by each post. A further disadvantage is that the polishing topography of the known posts is inefficient to distribute polishing fluid Otherwise, frictional forces between the wafer and the polishing pad become excessively high. The topography is periodically renewed by a process of conditioning wherein a conditioning abrasive is passed across the topography by sweeping motions, which trims away worn portions of the posts, and trims the posts of uneven heights to a level, common height. - The invention provides a post with a second cutting edge that serves to increase the polishing rate, which is the rate at which material is being removed by each post.
