Abstract

The invention discloses a chemically mechanical polishing method. In the method, a time slot from consumable replacement to the optimal operating state of chemically mechanical polishing equipment is defined as a running-in period; and wafers are polished for fixed polishing time in the running-in period, and are polished for unfixed polishing time outside the running-in period. The problem of insufficiency in the polishing degree of a plurality of batches of initial wafers after the consumable replacement can be solved effectively so as to reduce the production cost of semiconductor devices,shorten a production cycle and reduce labor load.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a semiconductor manufacturing process, in particular to a chemical mechanical polishing method. Background technique [0002] Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is a common process used to planarize device surfaces. CMP technology is a combination of a rotating platform and a pneumatically driven grinding head. This process basically grinds the front surface of the wafer or the surface of the component to a flat surface in order to prepare for the next step. During this process, the wafer is often ground one or more times in order to make the front surface of the wafer as flat as possible. The wafer is placed in the CMP device with a carrier, and the polished side faces the downward grinding head, which is covered with colloidal silica or alumina grinding liquid. Generally, there are two layers of polishing pads covering the rotating platform, and the outer layer of the polishing pad is an elastic layer. These layers are us...
