Description
- This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/083,565, filed Mar. 18, 2005, entitled POLISHING COMPOSITION AND POLISHING METHOD, which claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-081585, filed Mar. 19, 2004, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a polishing composition used, for example, in polishing for forming conductor wiring for a circuit board, and to a polishing method using such a polishing composition.
- In recent years, it has been required that circuit boards such as semiconductor package substrates in which ICs, transistors, and the like are mounted, have various functions and high-performance in connection with the acceleration and high integration of LSIs. A damascene process wherein a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology is used has become the main method for forming conductor wiring for a circuit board. In the case of formation of conductor wiring, first, on a resin section which has trenches, a conductor layer is formed so that at least the trenches is filled with the conductor layer. Then, at least a portion of the conductor layer positioned outside the trenches is removed by polishing so that a portion of the resin section between adjacent trenches is exposed. In this way, at least a part of the portion of the conductor layer positioned inside the trenches remains on the resin section, and the portion of the conductor layer which remains functions as conductor wiring.
- A polishing composition disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2003-257910 is used in polishing for forming conductor wiring. The polishing composition contains abrasive, a copper chelating agent, a copper etching agent, and an oxidizing agent.
- In order to enhance the efficiency of polishing for forming conductor wiring, it is important not only to raise the polishing quantity of a conductor layer per unit time (polishing rate of a conductor layer), but also to raise the polishing quantity of a resin section per unit time (polishing rate of a resin section). Nevertheless, the polishing composition described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2003-257910 can polish a conductor layer in a high stock removal rate, but cannot polish a resin section in a high stock removal rate. Therefore, although the polishing rate of a conductor layer increases when the polishing composition is used in polishing for forming conductor wiring, the polishing rate of a resin section seldom improves.
- Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a polishing composition which can raise the polishing rate of a conductor layer, and the polishing rate of a resin section.
- To achieve the foregoing and other objectives and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, a polishing composition is provided. The polishing composition includes alumina, a complexing agent, and an oxidizing agent. The polishing composition is used in an application for polishing an object having a resin section with a trench, and a conductor layer provided on the resin section so that at least the trench is filled with the conductor layer,
- The present invention also provides a polishing method. The method includes preparing the above polishing composition and polishing an object having a resin section with a trench, and a conductor layer provided on the resin section so that at least the trench is filled with the conductor layer, by using the prepared polishing composition.
- Other aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrating by way of example the principles of the invention.
- The invention, together with objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description of the presently preferred embodiments together with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIGS. 1 and 2 are sectional views of an object to be polished for explaining a polishing method according to one embodiment of the present invention. - An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 . - First of all, a method for forming conductor wiring 14 (refer to
FIG. 2 ) for a wiring board will be explained. - In forming the
conductor wiring 14, as shown inFIG. 1 , aconductor layer 13 is formed first on an insulating resin layer 11 (resin section) which is provided on asubstrate 10 and hastrenches 12. Thesubstrate 10 consists of, for example, ceramics or metal. Theresin layer 11 may be formed with any of a glass epoxy resin, a polyimide resin, a paper epoxy resin, and a Bakelite resin. Thetrenches 12 are formed so as to have a predetermined designed pattern, for example, by well-known lithography technology and pattern-etching technology. Theconductor layer 13 is formed on theresin layer 11 so as to fill at least thetrenches 12. Theconductor layer 13 is formed, for example, by PVD, CVD, or plating, and consists of copper containing material such as copper, a copper-aluminum alloy, and a copper-titanium alloy. - Subsequently, at least a portion of the
conductor layer 13 positioned outside thetrenches 12 is removed by polishing so that theresin layer 11 is exposed. Thereby, at least a part of the portion of theconductor layer 13 positioned inside thetrenches 12 remains on theresin section 11, and the portion of theconductor layer 13 which remains functions asconductor wiring 14. As shown inFIG. 2 , after polishing, top faces of theconductor wiring 14 andresin layer 11 are exposed. The exposed top faces of theconductor wiring 14 and theresin layer 11 are mutually flush, and both are smooth. Polishing for forming theconductor wiring 14 is performed by one time of polishing step. A polishing composition according to this embodiment contains alumina, a complexing agent, an oxidizing agent, and water, and is used in polishing for forming theconductor wiring 14. - Alumina in the polishing composition has a function of mechanically polishing an object to be polished. Alumina to be contained in the polishing composition may be produced by grinding and classification after heat-treating aluminum hydroxide, or it may be colloidal alumina or fumed alumina. The polishing composition may also contain two types of different alumina.

conductor layer 13 andresin layer 11, the content of alumina in the polishing composition is preferably 0.1 mass % or more, more preferably 1 mass % or more, further preferably 5 mass % or more, and most preferably 7 mass % or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the improvement of dispersibility and solubility of each component in the polishing composition, the content of alumina is preferably 50 mass % or less, more preferably 30 mass % or less, and most preferably 20 mass % or less. - When the alumina contained in the polishing composition is alumina other than fumed alumina and colloidal alumina, from the viewpoint of improvement in the polishing rate of the
resin layer 11, the average particle diameter of the alumina measured by an electric resistance method (a Coulter method) is preferably 0.1 μm or more, and further preferably 1 μm or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing scratches (linear flaws) occurring while polishing, the average particle diameter of the alumina measured by the electric resistance method is preferably 50 μm or less, and more preferably 10 μm or less. - When the alumina contained in the polishing composition is fumed alumina or colloidal alumina, from the viewpoint of improvement in the polishing rate of the
resin layer 11, the average particle diameter of the alumina measured by a laser diffraction method is preferably 0.1 μm or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing scratches occurring while polishing, the average particle diameter of the alumina measured by the laser diffraction method is preferably 10 μm or less, and further preferably 1 μm or less. - A completing agent in the polishing composition has the function of catching metal generated in the polishing composition by the polishing of the
conductor layer 13 and enhancing the polishing of theconductor layer 13. A completing agent to be contained in the polishing composition may be at least one compound selected from organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, and tartaric acid; α-amino acids such as glycine and alanine; multiple valued amine such as ethylenediamine and triethylenetetramine; ammonia; and an ammonium salt. Although a preferable complexing agent changes by a type of material constituting theconductor layer 13, an α-amino acid, ammonia, or an ammonium salt is preferable since having a strong action of enhancing copper polishing when theconductor layer 13 consists of copper. - When only at least one compound selected from between ammonia and an ammonium salt is contained as a complexing agent in the polishing composition, there is a possibility that corrosion may arise on the surface of the
conductor layer 13 depending on the content of a complexing agent. Moreover, when only an α-amino acid is contained as a complexing agent in the polishing composition, the polishing rate of copper does not become high depending on the content of the complexing agent in comparison with the case that only at least one compound selected from between the ammonia and ammonium salt is contained as a completing agent in the polishing composition. Therefore, in order to make the suppression of corrosion of theconductor layer 13 and the improvement in the polishing rate of copper compatible, it is preferable that at least one compound, selected from between the ammonia and ammonium salt, and the α-amino acid are contained as the completing agent in the polishing composition. - What are cited as specific examples of the α-amino acids are neutral amino acids such as glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, alloisoleucine, serine, threonine, allothreonine, cysteine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, thyrosin, proline, and cystine; acidic amino acids such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid; and basic amino acids such as arginine and histidine. At least one compound is used among these. Especially, since procurement is easy and moreover the polishing rate of the
conductor layer 13 is improved well, glycine and α-alanine acid are preferable, and glycine is more preferable. The α-amino acid may be any of an L-enantiomer and a D-enantiomer. When theconductor layer 13 consists of copper, from the viewpoint of improvement in the polishing rate of copper, the content of the α-amino acid in the polishing composition is preferably 0.01 mass % or more, and more preferably 0.1 mass % or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of cost effectiveness, the content of the α-amino acid is preferably 20 mass % or less, and is more preferably 10 mass % or less. - What are cited as specific examples of the ammonium salts are ammonium salts of inorganic acids such as ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydrogencarbonate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, and ammonium chloride; and ammonium salts of organic acids such as ammonium oxalate, ammonium citrate, succinic acid ammonium, and ammonium tartrate. At least one compound is used among these. Since ammonia has an action of polishing an object chemically and does not contain metal impurities, ammonia is preferable to be contained in the polishing composition as the complexing agent. When the
conductor layer 13 consists of copper, from the viewpoint of improvement in the polishing rate of copper, sum of the content of the ammonia and ammonium salts in the polishing composition is preferably 0.1 mass % or more, and more preferably 1 mass % or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing corrosion of theconductor layer 13, the content is preferably 10 mass % or less, and more preferably 5 mass % or less. - An oxidizing agent in the polishing composition makes the operation of enhancing the polishing of the
conductor layer 13 by chemical polishing. An oxidizing agent to be contained in the polishing composition may be at least one compound selected from persulfuric acid, periodic acid, perchloric acid, peracetic acid, performic acid, nitric acid and a salt thereof, and hydrogen peroxide. Among them, hydrogen peroxide is preferable because hydrogen peroxide little contaminated with metal impurities is inexpensively and easily available. - From the viewpoint of improvement in the polishing rate of the
conductor layer 13, the content of the oxidizing agent in the polishing composition is preferably 0.01 mass % or more, more preferably 0.1 mass % or more, and further preferably 0.3 mass % or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of cost effectiveness, the content of the oxidizing agent is preferably 10 mass % or less, more preferably 6 mass % or less, and further preferably 3 mass % or less. - Water in the polishing composition acts as a medium for dispersing or dissolving components in the polishing composition. Water to be contained in the polishing composition preferably contains as little impurity as possible so as not to hinder the actions of each component in the polishing composition, and preferably is deionized water, ultra pure water, or distilled water.
- From the viewpoint of improvement in the polishing rate of copper, the pH of the polishing composition is preferably 7 or more, more preferably 8.5 or more, and further preferably 9 or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing the corrosion of the
conductor layer 13, the pH is preferably less than 12, more preferably less than 11.5, and further preferably less than 11. In addition, when the polishing composition contains at least one compound, selected from ammonia and ammonium salt, and an α-amino acid as the complexing agent, it is preferable to set the content of the complexing agent in consideration of the above-mentioned range of the pH. - In order to suppress the aggregation of alumina in the polishing composition and to enhance redispersibility, alumina sol may be added to the polishing composition according to this embodiment, as an aggregation restrainer. When alumina sol is added to the polishing composition, it is possible to suppress the generation of hard caking, which becomes a cause of lowering the redispersibility of alumina, and the aggregation of alumina, which causes scratches generated on the polished object, because of an action of alumina sol dispersed colloidally in the polishing composition. It is possible to obtain alumina sol by dispersing hydrated alumina, such as boehmite, pseudo-boehmite, diaspore, gibbsite, and bayerite, or aluminum hydroxide colloidally in an aqueous acid. Especially, alumina sol obtained by dispersing boehmite or pseudo-boehmite in the aqueous acid is preferable. From the viewpoint of suppressing the aggregation of alumina, the content of alumina sol in the polishing composition is preferably 0.05 mass % or more, or preferably 0.1 mass % or more, and further preferably 0.5 mass % or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the improvement of dispersibility and solubility of each component in the polishing composition, the content of alumina sol is preferably 5 mass % or less, more preferably 3 mass % or less, and further preferably 2 mass % or less.
- When polishing for forming the
conductor wiring 14 using the polishing composition according to this embodiment is performed, theconductor layer 13 andresin layer 11 are mechanically polished by action of alumina in the polishing composition at a high stock removal rate. Especially, since being enhanced by action of the complexing agent that catches metal generated in the polishing composition by the polishing of theconductor layer 13, and action of the oxidizing agent that has chemical polishing, the polishing of theconductor layer 13 is performed at an especially high stock removal rate. Therefore, according to the polishing composition, it is possible to raise the polishing rate of theconductor layer 13 and the polishing rate of theresin layer 11, and the efficiency of the polishing for forming theconductor wiring 14 improves. - It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in many other specific forms without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Particularly, it should be understood that the invention may be embodied in the following forms.
- The polishing composition may be prepared by diluting a stock solution with water at the time of use. The stock solution is easy in storage and transportation.
- The polishing composition may be stored in the state where an oxidizing agent is separated from the other components. In this case, the polishing composition is provided for use after the oxidizing agent has been mixed with the other components. According to this, the oxidizing agent is prevented from decomposing in the polishing composition during storage.
- Into the polishing composition, a well-known additive such as a surfactant, a thickener, an emulsifier, a antirust agent, a preservative, an antifungal agent, an antifoaming agent, and a pH adjuster may be added.

As shown in Table 2, in Examples 1 to 22, the polishing rate of copper was high, that is, 3.0 μm/min or more, and the polishing rate of epoxy resin was also high, that is, 2.0 μm/min or more. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 to 8, the polishing rate of copper was less than 3.0 μm/min, or the polishing rate of epoxy resin was less than 2.0 μm/min. A reason why the polishing rate is low in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is that the content of alumina in each polishing composition of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is small. In addition, a reason why the polishing rate is low in Comparative Examples 3 to 8 is that each polishing composition of Comparative Examples 3 to 8 does not contain at least one among an abrasive, a complexing agent, and an oxidizing agent. - In order to obtain a favorable result about the removing time and dishing depth, it was found that it was preferable to set the content of alumina at nearly 15 mass % from the results of Examples 1 to 3, to set the content of the α-amino acid at 0.2 mass % or more from the results of Examples 2, 8, and 9, to set the content of ammonia at nearly 2 mass % from the results of Examples 2, 12, and 13, to use both the α-amino acid and ammonia as complexing agents from the results of Examples 13 and 14, and to set the content of hydrogen peroxide at nearly 1 mass % from the results of Examples 2, 15 to 18. From the results of Examples 2 and 11, it was confirmed that copper polishing is especially enhanced when glycine was used as a complexing agent. From the results of Examples 2, 20 to 22, it was confirmed that redispersibility is especially favorable when the content of alumina sol was set at 1.5 mass % or more.
- The present examples and embodiments are to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive and the invention is not to be limited to the details given herein, but may be modified within the scope and equivalence of the appended claims.
