Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an aqueous slurry that can be used to chemically mechanically polish a semiconductor substrate containing copper interconnects and a method for chemically mechanically polishing a semiconductor substrate containing copper interconnects using the aqueous slurry. Background technique
[0002] With the development of Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI) technology towards smaller line widths, new challenges are presented for the integration of conventional chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) methods. Additionally, the introduction of low-k and ultra-low-k dielectric films requires the use of gentler CMP processes due to the low mechanical strength of these films and their poor adhesion to adjacent layers. In addition, increasingly stringent specifications for defects place additional demands on polishing slurries for low-k films.
[0003] Incorporating various low-k films into ULSI may require many additional steps and al...
