Abstract

The invention relates to a low-pressure CMP (Chemico-mechanical Polishing) method for grand-scale integrated circuit copper wiring surface, comprising the following steps of: (1) preparing a polishing solution by uniformly mixing the following components in percentage by weight: 35-80% of nano SiO2 abrasive material, 12-60% of deionized water, 1-3% of oxidizing agent, 1-4% of activating agent and 0.5-1.5% of FA / OII type chelating agent; and (2) setting polishing technique parameters, wherein the polishing pressure is 2-5KPa, the polishing temperature is 20-50 DEG C, the flow rate is 120-250ml / min, and the rotating speed is 30-60rpm / min. The oxidizing agent in the polishing solution is used for oxidizing the copper, and the FA / OII type chelating agent self with extremely strong chelating capability quickly reacts with the oxidized copper to generate soluble chelate fast removing from the copper surface, thereby avoiding the situation of removing the surface copper depending on the mechanical friction mainly and realizing the purpose of copper polishing under low mechanical strength. The removal of materials in the chelating process is realized by breaking down molecular bond, which has small damage on the material surface; in addition, the influence of mechanical action on the polishing speed is compensated by reinforcing the CMP chemical action under low pressure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wafer surface polishing method, in particular to a low-pressure chemical-mechanical polishing method for copper wiring surfaces of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits. Background technique [0002] Metal copper has low resistivity, excellent anti-electromigration characteristics and low thermal sensitivity, which produces a small RC delay and can improve the reliability of the circuit. Copper wires replace traditional aluminum wires and become an ideal material for interconnection wires. [0003] With the reduction of device geometry, the number of metal layers and the increase of silicon substrate diameter, the degree of planarization of each layer has become one of the important factors affecting the etching line width of integrated circuits, and has become a bottleneck for the further development of microelectronics. Chemical mechanical polishing is by far the best technique for providing global planarization of multilay...
