Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor polishing composition.
- the I ⁇ mechanical polishing (CMP, Chemical Mechanical Polishing) is to flatten the semiconductor wafer, in order to achieve high performance and high integration of semiconductor devices, the current in the required essential technique ⁇ 1 It has become.
- the wafer is placed on the pad attached to the polishing platen so that the polished surface of the wafer is in contact with the pad, and a pressing head is pressed against the wafer to apply a certain load to the wafer and polish it.
- the wafer is polished by rotating the pad and the pressure head while supplying the composition for use to the pad surface.
- the polishing composition is an aqueous slurry in which a polishing agent is dispersed, and an appropriate polishing agent is selected from various polishing agents depending on the material of a film formed on the surface to be polished of the wafer.
- a polishing agent is dispersed
- an appropriate polishing agent is selected from various polishing agents depending on the material of a film formed on the surface to be polished of the wafer.
- silica-based abrasives such as colloidal silica and fumed silica are widely used (for example, see JP-A-52-47369).
- colloidal silica has excellent dispersion stability in water. Therefore, when the concentration of the colloidal silica in the polishing composition, which is an aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica, is within an appropriate range, aggregation of the colloidal silica hardly occurs even after long-term storage.
- colloidal silica has the advantage of requiring more time to polish wafers with relatively low polishing rates. Therefore, a polishing accelerator such as an organic acid, an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide, a corrosion inhibitor such as a benzotriazole compound, a surfactant, and the like are used together with colloidal silica.
- Colloidal silica is industrially manufactured using sodium silicate as a raw material, and as a result, may contain impurities such as sodium and contaminate the wafer during polishing. Therefore, it is necessary to purify and highly purify colloidal silica. As described above, when colloidal silica is manufactured industrially, a purification step for high purification is indispensable, productivity is reduced, and manufacturing cost is reduced. To rise.
- fumed silica has a higher polishing rate than colloidal silica. Since it is synthesized by combustion of silicon tetrachloride in an oxyhydrogen flame, the amount of impurities is small and it is industrially inexpensive. However, fumed silica has poor dispersibility in water. Therefore, the polishing composition, which is an aqueous dispersion of fumed silica, is subjected to a pipe load (such as a collision with the inner wall of the pipe) during supply to the CMP process, and a load of a supply pump (such as a pressure load by the supply pump).
- a pipe load such as a collision with the inner wall of the pipe
- a supply pump such as a pressure load by the supply pump
- Fumed silica Agglomeration of fumed silica occurs due to external loads such as pressure applied to the pressure head (pressure applied by the pressure head, etc.) and environmental conditions during transportation. Also, fumed silica is likely to aggregate during long-term storage. Fumed silica, which has become large particles due to agglomeration, generates many polishing scratches on the wafer. Such a polishing flaw impairs the reliability of the electrical connection of the wafer. If there are many polishing flaws, particularly if the polishing flaw exceeds 0.2 xm in diameter per wafer, the wafer is damaged. Becomes defective, and the yield in the polishing process decreases.
- aqueous dispersion containing a high concentration of fumed silica For example, water and fumed silica are mixed while being subjected to high shearing force to obtain an aqueous dispersion containing a high concentration of fumed silica.
- a polishing composition containing mudosilica for example, see Japanese Patent No. 2935125.
