Description

一种化学机械抛光液  Chemical mechanical polishing liquid
技术领域 Technical field
本发明涉及一种化学机械抛光液, 具体涉及用一种含有激发剂和强氧化 剂前体的化学机械抛光液。本发明进一步涉及将本发明所述的化学机械抛光 液用于钨化学机械抛光。  The present invention relates to a chemical mechanical polishing liquid, and in particular to a chemical mechanical polishing liquid containing an activator and a strong oxidant precursor. The invention further relates to the use of the chemical mechanical polishing liquid of the present invention for tungsten chemical mechanical polishing.
技术背景 technical background
随着半导体技术的不断发展, 以及大规模集成电路互连层的不断增加, 导电层和绝缘介质层的平坦化技术变得尤为关键。 二十世纪 80年代, 由 IBM 公司首创的化学机械抛光 (CMP )技术被认为是目前全局平坦化的最有效的 方法。  With the continuous development of semiconductor technology and the increasing number of interconnect layers of large-scale integrated circuits, the planarization technology of conductive layers and dielectric layers has become particularly critical. In the 1980s, the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology pioneered by IBM was considered the most effective method for global planarization.
化学机械抛光(CMP ) 由化学作用、 机械作用以及这两种作用结合而成。 它通常由一个带有抛光垫的研磨台, 及一个用于承载芯片的研磨头组成。 其 中研磨头固定住芯片, 然后将芯片的正面压在抛光垫上。 当进行化学机械抛 光时, 研磨头在抛光垫上线性移动或是沿着与研磨台一样的运动方向旋转。 与此同时, 含有研磨剂的浆液被滴到抛光垫上, 并因离心作用平铺在抛光垫 上。 芯片表面在机械和化学的双重作用下实现全局平坦化。  Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is a combination of chemical action, mechanical action, and both. It usually consists of a polishing table with a polishing pad and a polishing head for carrying the chip. The polishing head holds the chip and then presses the front side of the chip against the polishing pad. When chemical mechanical polishing is performed, the polishing head moves linearly on the polishing pad or in the same direction of motion as the polishing table. At the same time, the slurry containing the abrasive is dropped onto the polishing pad and laid flat on the polishing pad by centrifugation. The surface of the chip achieves global planarization under both mechanical and chemical effects.
对金属层化学机械抛光 (CMP ) 的主要机制被认为是: 氧化剂先将金属 表面氧化成膜, 以二氧化硅和氧化铝为代表的研磨剂将该层氧化膜机械去 除, 产生新的金属表面继续被氧化, 这两种作用协同进行。  The main mechanism of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of metal layers is considered as follows: The oxidant first oxidizes the surface of the metal into a film, and the abrasive film represented by silica and alumina mechanically removes the oxide film to produce a new metal surface. Continued to be oxidized, these two effects work together.
作为化学机械抛光 (CMP ) 对象之一的金属钨, 在高电流密度下, 抗电 子迁移能力强, 并且能够与硅形成很好的欧姆接触, 所以可作为接触窗及介  Metal tungsten, one of the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) objects, has high electron current resistance at high current density and can form a good ohmic contact with silicon, so it can be used as a contact window and

钨的化学机械抛光 (CMP), 有多种方法:  There are several methods for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of tungsten:
1991年, F. B. Kaufman等报道了铁***用于钨化学机械抛光的方法 ( "Chemical Mechanical Polishing for Fabricating Patterned W Metal Features as Chip Interconnects" , Journal of the Electro chemical Society, Vol.138, No.11, 1991年 11月)。  In 1991, FB Kaufman et al. reported the use of potassium ferricyanide for tungsten chemical mechanical polishing ("Chemical Mechanical Polishing for Fabricating Patterned W Metal Features as Chip Interconnects", Journal of the Electro Chemical Society, Vol. 138, No. 11 , November 1991).
美国专利 5340370公开了一种用于钨化学机械抛光(CMP) 的配方, 其 中含有 0.1M铁***, 5%氧化硅, 同时含有作为 pH缓冲剂的醋酸盐。 由于 铁***在紫外光或日光照射下, 以及在酸性介质中, 会分解出剧毒的氢氰 酸, 因而限制了其广泛使用。  U.S. Patent 5,340,370 discloses a formulation for tungsten chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) containing 0.1 M potassium ferricyanide, 5% silica, and acetate as a pH buffer. Since potassium ferricyanide decomposes highly toxic hydrocyanic acid under ultraviolet light or sunlight, and in an acidic medium, its widespread use is limited.
美国专利 5527423, 美国专利 6008119, 美国专利 6284151等公开了将 Fe (N03) 3, 氧化铝体系用于钨机械抛光(CMP) 的方法。 该抛光体系在静态 腐蚀速率 (static etch rate)方面具有优势, 但是由于釆用氧化铝作为研 磨剂, 产品缺陷 (defect)方面存在显著不足。 同时高浓度的硝酸铁使得抛 光液的 pH值呈强酸性, 严重腐蚀设备, 同时, 生成铁锈, 污染抛光垫。 除 此之外, 高浓度的铁离子作为可移动的金属离子, 严重降低了半导体元器件 的可靠性。 U.S. Patent No. 5,527,423, U.S. Patent No. 6,008,119, U.S. Patent No. 6,284,151, et al. discloses the use of the <RTIgt;Fe(N0<3>>>3>, alumina system for tungsten mechanical polishing (CMP). The polishing system has an advantage in terms of static etch rate, but due to the use of alumina as an abrasive, there are significant deficiencies in product defects. At the same time, the high concentration of ferric nitrate makes the pH of the polishing liquid strongly acidic, which seriously corrodes the equipment, and at the same time, generates rust and contaminates the polishing pad. In addition, high concentrations of iron ions act as mobile metal ions, which seriously reduce the reliability of semiconductor components.
美国专利 5225034, 美国专利 5354490公开了将过氧化氢和硝酸银共同 使用, 用做氧化剂进行金属(铜) 的抛光方法。 但是在该类型方法中, 硝酸 银用量很大 (大于 2%), 造成抛光液成本过高, 研磨剂不稳定、 容易沉淀, 双氧水快速分解等问题。  U.S. Patent No. 5,225, 034, U.S. Patent No. 5,354, 490 discloses the use of the use of hydrogen peroxide and silver nitrate as a oxidizing agent for the polishing of metal (copper). However, in this type of method, the amount of silver nitrate is large (greater than 2%), resulting in excessive polishing solution cost, unstable abrasive, easy precipitation, and rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.
美国专利 5958288公开了将硝酸铁用做催化剂, 过氧化氢用做氧化剂, 进行钨化学机械抛光的方法。 需要注意的是: 在该专利中, 提到了多种过渡 金属元素, 被实验证实显著有效的只有铁元素。 因此该发明的实际实施效果 和范围很有限。 该方法虽然大幅度降低了硝酸铁的用量, 但是由于铁离子仍 然存在, 和双氧水之间发生 Fenton反应, 双氧水会迅速、 并且剧烈地分解 失效, 因此该抛光液存在稳定性差的问题。 U.S. Patent 5,958,288 discloses the use of ferric nitrate as a catalyst and hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. A method of performing chemical mechanical polishing of tungsten. It should be noted that in this patent, a variety of transition metal elements are mentioned, and only iron elements have been experimentally proven to be significantly effective. Therefore, the actual implementation effect and scope of the invention are limited. Although the method greatly reduces the amount of ferric nitrate, since the iron ion still exists and the Fenton reaction occurs between the hydrogen peroxide and the hydrogen peroxide, the hydrogen peroxide rapidly and violently decomposes and fails, so the polishing solution has a problem of poor stability.
美国专利 5980775和美国专利 6068787在美国专利 5958288基础上, 加 入有机酸做稳定剂, 改善了过氧化氢的分解速率。 但是由于有机酸的引入, 使得抛光液 pH值较低(通常低于 2. 7左右), 造成设备腐蚀。 此外, 含有硝 酸铁的抛光液, PH值调节范围很窄。 因为当 pH值高于 2. 7时, 硝酸铁会水 解, 生成氢氧化铁沉淀, 造成抛光液失效, 限制了其 PH值调节能力。 在环 保上, 由于有机酸的加入, 提高了抛光废液中有机物含量(COD ), 不利于环 保。 此外, 氧化剂双氧水的稳定性问题仍然存在。 虽然加入有机酸做为稳定 剂, 改善了双氧水的分解速率, 但是其分解速率仍然较高, 通常两周内双氧 水浓度会降低 10%以上, 造成抛光速度下降, 抛光液逐渐分解失效。  U.S. Patent No. 5,980,775 and U.S. Patent No. 6,068,787, each of which is incorporated herein by reference to U.S. Patent No. 5,958, 288, incorporates an organic acid as a stabilizer to improve the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. However, due to the introduction of organic acids, the pH of the polishing solution is low (usually below about 2. 7), causing corrosion of the equipment. In addition, the polishing solution containing iron nitrate has a narrow pH adjustment range. Because when the pH is higher than 2. 7, the ferric nitrate will be hydrolyzed to form iron hydroxide precipitate, which will cause the polishing solution to fail, which limits its pH adjustment ability. In environmental protection, the organic matter content (COD) in the polishing waste liquid is increased due to the addition of organic acid, which is not conducive to environmental protection. In addition, the stability of the oxidant hydrogen peroxide still exists. Although the addition of organic acid as a stabilizer improves the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide, the decomposition rate is still high, and the hydrogen peroxide concentration is usually reduced by more than 10% in two weeks, resulting in a decrease in polishing speed and a gradual decomposition failure of the polishing liquid.
中国专利 CN1966594A公开了一种在上述催化体系中加入 etch抑制剂的 方法, 但是由于其所用催化剂仍然是铁元素, 双氧水易分解、 稳定性差等问 题仍然存在。  Chinese Patent No. CN 1966 594 A discloses a method of adding an etch inhibitor to the above catalytic system, but since the catalyst used is still iron, the problem of easy decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and poor stability still exists.
本发明提供了一种不同于以上各方法的、 新型的钨的化学机械抛光液。 本发明和上述美国专利 5225034, 5354490的主要区别在于:  The present invention provides a novel chemical mechanical polishing liquid for tungsten which is different from the above methods. The main differences between the present invention and the aforementioned U.S. Patents 5,225,034, 5,354,490 are:
美国专利 5225034以及 5354490虽然利用过氧化氢和硝酸银共同作用进 行化学机械抛光, 但是该抛光方法针对铜, 没有提到钨。 在我们的试验中发 现: 实际上, 双氧水和硝酸银的组合不能显著提高钨的抛光速度。 在上述两 篇专利中只提到硝酸银, 没有提到硫酸银, 更没有揭示出硫酸银中的硫酸根 离子, 具有显著提高钨的抛光速度的特殊作用。 U.S. Patents 5,225,034 and 5,354,490, although chemical mechanical polishing is performed by the combination of hydrogen peroxide and silver nitrate, but the polishing method is directed to copper, and tungsten is not mentioned. In our experiments, it was found that: in fact, the combination of hydrogen peroxide and silver nitrate does not significantly increase the polishing speed of tungsten. In the above two In the patent, only silver nitrate is mentioned, silver sulfate is not mentioned, and sulfate ion in silver sulfate is not revealed, which has a special effect of significantly increasing the polishing speed of tungsten.
本发明和上述美国专利 5980775 , 6068787 以及 5958288的主要区别在 于:  The main differences between the present invention and the aforementioned U.S. Patents 5,980,775, 6,068,787 and 5,958,288 are:
上述 3篇专利中, 银和双氧水的组合(例如, 双氧水加硝酸银), 不具 有显著提高钨的抛光速度的作用, 能显著提高钨的抛光速度的只有铁和双氧 水的组合, (上述三篇专利自身的实施例证明了这两点)。 与之不同的是, 本发明发现: 只要在双氧水加硝酸银的体系中再进一步加入硫酸根, 这种新 的组合能够非常显著地提高钨的抛光速度。  In the above three patents, the combination of silver and hydrogen peroxide (for example, hydrogen peroxide plus silver nitrate) does not have a significant effect of increasing the polishing speed of tungsten, and only a combination of iron and hydrogen peroxide can significantly increase the polishing speed of tungsten. The implementation of the patent itself clarifies these two points). In contrast, the present inventors have found that this new combination can significantly increase the polishing rate of tungsten as long as sulfate is further added to the system of hydrogen peroxide plus silver nitrate.
在上述 3篇专利的 Fe- H202体系中, 铁会和过氧化氢之间产生 Fenton反 应, 产生强氧化性的羟自由基, 有利于提高钨的抛光速度。 而银和双氧水之 间, 没有 Fenton反应。 因此, 本发明在抛光机理上显著区别于上述 3篇专 利。 In the Fe-H 2 0 2 system of the above three patents, the Fenton reaction between iron and hydrogen peroxide produces a strong oxidizing hydroxyl radical, which is advantageous for increasing the polishing speed of tungsten. There is no Fenton reaction between silver and hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, the present invention is significantly different from the above-mentioned three patents in the polishing mechanism.
需要着重指出的是 ,在上述 5篇美国专利:5225034 , 5354490, 5980775 , 6068787以及 5958288中都没有发现、 也不能推断出: 双氧水、 银离子和硫 酸根的组合对提高钨的抛光作用具有非常奇特的作用, 因此, 本发明中的银 离子和硫酸根的组合是非显而易见的, 这种组合的实施效果是出乎意料的。  It should be emphasized that none of the above five US patents: 5225034, 5354490, 5980775, 6068787 and 5958288 have been inferred: the combination of hydrogen peroxide, silver ion and sulfate is very peculiar to improve the polishing effect of tungsten. The effect, therefore, the combination of silver ions and sulfate in the present invention is not obvious, and the effect of the combination is unexpected.
在美国专利 5980775 , 6068787以及 5958288的 Fe-HA抛光体系中, 由 于铁会和过氧化氢之间产生 Fenton反应, 过氧化氢会迅速分解, 因此必须 加入有机络合剂络合铁离子, 抑制这一分解过程。 而在本发明的体系中, 由 于没有 Fenton反应, 不需要加稳定剂, 过氧化氢也能长期保持非常稳定。 发明概要 In the Fe-HA polishing system of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,980,775, 6,068,787 and 5,958,288, since Fenton reaction occurs between iron and hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide decomposes rapidly, so it is necessary to add an organic complexing agent to complex iron ions, thereby suppressing this. A decomposition process. In the system of the present invention, since there is no Fenton reaction, no stabilizer is added, and hydrogen peroxide can be kept very stable for a long period of time.

静态腐蚀是造成钨栓塞 (Tungs ten Plug )被腐蚀(etch ), 以及造成穿 孔 (key hole ) 的主要原因。 从表 4中的结果可以看出, 在本发明中进一步 加入抑制剂可以显著改善静态腐蚀速率, 提升抛光产品的良率。 效果实施例 4 分别对实施例 6 的化学机械抛光液以及传统 Fe- H202化学机械抛光液中 过氧化氢的分解速度进行测试, 结果如图 1所示。 从图 1中可以看出, 在本 发明的体系中, 过氧化氢会非常稳定。 而作为对比, 美国专利 5958288用硝 酸铁做催化剂, 过氧化氢会迅速剧烈分解失效。 美国专利 5980775, 6068787 (传统 Fe-H202化学机械抛光液)在 5958288基础上, 加入有机酸做稳定剂, 降低了过氧化氢的分解速率。但是 14天内仍会降低 10%。本发明的配方在稳 定性上有显著进步。 对比实施例 1
Figure imgf000010_0002
Static corrosion is the main cause of the etch of the Tungs ten Plug and the formation of key holes. As can be seen from the results in Table 4, the further addition of the inhibitor in the present invention can significantly improve the static etching rate and improve the yield of the polished product. Effect Example 4 The decomposition rates of hydrogen peroxide in the chemical mechanical polishing liquid of Example 6 and the conventional Fe-H 2 O 2 chemical mechanical polishing liquid were tested, and the results are shown in Fig. 1. As can be seen from Figure 1, hydrogen peroxide is very stable in the system of the present invention. In contrast, U.S. Patent 5,958,288 uses iron nitrate as a catalyst, and hydrogen peroxide rapidly decomposes rapidly. U.S. Patent No. 5,980,775, 6,068,787 (conventional Fe-H 2 O 2 chemical mechanical polishing liquid), based on 5958288, is added with an organic acid as a stabilizer to reduce the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide. However, it will still be reduced by 10% within 14 days. The formulation of the present invention has a significant improvement in stability. Comparative Example 1

As can be seen from the results in Table 5, the effect of the present invention (achieving a high tungsten polishing rate) can be achieved without a combination of any transition metal and hydrogen peroxide. Comparative Examples 4, 8, 9 also show that the effect of the present invention can be achieved without any metal sulfate. In contrast, the combination of silver ions and sulfate in the present invention (including silver sulfate itself) achieves a very high polishing rate, which is not obvious. Comparative Example 2

As can be seen from the results in Table 6, the combination of any metal (for example, Co, Ni, Zn) and sulfate (sulfate) can achieve the effect of the present invention (achieving a high tungsten polishing rate). The combination of silver ions, sulfate ions and hydrogen peroxide is non-obvious and produces unexpected beneficial technical effects.
