Problems solved by technology

Due to SiO 2 The hardness of the abrasive is equivalent to that of the silicon wafer, which is easy to scratch the surface of the silicon wafer and affect the quality of the silicon wafer
Using CeO 2 Abrasives can achieve higher polishing efficiency and selectivity, but with the national regulation of rare earth resources, CeO 2 The price of abrasives has doubled, and the cost of polishing has increased significantly, making related companies face unprecedented pressure

Embodiment 1

[0019] Example 1: Titanium dioxide purchased from the market was used to prepare polishing slurry. The electron microscope photos and XRD diffraction patterns are as follows: figure 1 , 2 Shown. The particle size ranges from 100 to 1500 nm, and the crystal phase is anatase titanium dioxide. The solid content of the prepared slurry is 0.1%. Sodium hydroxide solution is used to adjust the slurry to different pH, and the slurry is stirred with an electric stirrer for about 10 minutes to obtain the desired polishing slurry. The obtained slurries were respectively used for polishing single crystal silicon wafers. The polishing experiment adopts UNIPOL-802 polishing machine, the polishing pressure is 0.09Kg / cm 2 , The rotating speed of the polishing disc is 128rpm, the slurry flow rate is 12000ml / min, and the silicon wafer is weighed before and after polishing with SartoriusCP225D precision electronic balance (precision 0.01mg), and the material removal rate (MRR value) reflecting th...

Embodiment 2

[0020] Example 2: According to a similar method to Example 1, the solid content of titanium dioxide in the fixed slurry was 0.5%, the pH value was 11.5, and different amounts of monoethanolamine were added to determine the MRR values. Plot the measured MRR value against the amount of monoethanolamine added, see Figure 4 . It is proved that the addition of a small amount of monoethanolamine is very effective for increasing the cutting speed. However, it decreases after a certain concentration, and the cutting speed is high between 0.02% and 0.055%.

Embodiment 3

[0021] Example 3: According to the method similar to Example 1, the solid content of titanium dioxide in the fixed slurry is 0.5%, the pH value is 11.5, and the same amount of monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine are added respectively, namely n MEA =n DEA =n TEA , The mass percentages are 0.035%, 0.0602%, and 0.0855%, respectively, which are used for the polishing of monocrystalline silicon wafers, determine the MRR value, and map different additives, such as Figure 5 . It proves that monoethanolamine has the best effect, followed by diethanolamine, and triethanolamine cannot increase the MRR value.

[0022] Example 4: According to a similar method to Example 1, under the condition that the content of titanium dioxide and monoethanolamine are fixed at 0.5% and 0.035%, respectively, the pH value of the slurry is adjusted to different values, and they are respectively used for the polishing of monocrystalline silicon wafers, and their determination MRR value a...

Abstract

The invention discloses a formula of chemical mechanical polishing slurry for silicon wafers. The slurry consists of the following components in percentage by mass: 0.1 to 5 percent of titanium dioxide abrasive, 0 to 1.0 percent of dispersant, 0.005 to 0.3 percent of additive, 0 to 1.5 percent of pH regulator for regulating the pH value of the slurry, and the balance of pure water, wherein the particle size of the titanium dioxide abrasive is controlled to be below 3,000nm. The pH value of the slurry is 10.0 to 12.5, and the optimum pH value is 11.5 to 12.0. The formula of the polishing slurry and a preparation method for the polishing slurry are simple, convenient and low in cost; and the speed and the precision are high when the slurry is used for polishing the surfaces of the silicon wafers.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a polishing slurry formula, which is particularly suitable for chemical mechanical polishing of silicon wafers. Background technique [0002] Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is currently the most important global planarization technology and the only global planarization technology in the ultra-large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing (ULSI) process. Silicon wafer is the main substrate material of integrated circuits and light-emitting diodes, and its surface roughness is one of the important factors affecting the etching line width and film growth of integrated circuits. With the continuous improvement of integrated circuit integration and the continuous reduction of feature size, the requirements for the processing accuracy and surface quality of silicon wafers are getting higher and higher. Therefore, the preparation of high-quality and high-efficiency polishing slurry is the focus and key of global planarization technol...
