Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling mechanically polished surface roughness of ULSI multilayer copper wire. It is characterized in that: it uses SiO2 hydrosol at small diameter as abrasive; uses organic alkali as the pH adjuster and complex builder; adds non-ionic surface activator to prepare the polish liquid; the preparation comprises following steps that first, preparing the polish liquid that a, diluting the SiO2 abrasive whose diameter is 15-20nm with the 1-5 times of deionized water; b, using pH adjuster organic alkali to adjust said solution, to make the pH value between 10-12; c, mixing and adding 0.5-10% (volume percentage) aether mellow activator to prepare the polish liquid; then, polishing form 3-5mins, while the flux is 3-5L / min, the temperature is 15-25Deg. C, the rotation speed is 30-120rpm, and the external pressure is zero that there is only the weight of carrier; the invention can effectively reduce the roughness of copper, baffle material and tantalum surface, via the strong complex function and accelerating the surface quantity transmission at alkali condition, with simple process and significant effect.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chemical mechanical polishing technology, in particular to a method for controlling roughness in the chemical mechanical polishing of ULSI multilayer copper wiring. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of integrated circuit manufacturing technology, the production level of integrated circuits has entered the 65nm era. As the feature size of device design has evolved to nanometers, the impact of RC delay on device performance has become greater and greater, and it must reach high frequencies. For metal interconnection structures, the RC delay must be reduced, which requires the structure to be multi-layered and three-dimensional. As the metal of the interconnection structure, aluminum has been widely used in VLSI design, but in ULSI design, the metal connection becomes thinner. The increase in resistivity results in increased heat generation, resulting in severe electromigration, which greatly affects the perfor...
