Embodiments 1-3
[0049]In all of the embodiments 1-3 according to the present invention, the slurry for CMP was based on composite particle abrasive grains produced by the dry type composite producing method compounding organic host particles of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) mono-dispersion particles (5 μm) with inorganic particles of ceria (CeO2) particles (14 nm) in such a way that the zeta potential becomes a negative potential. Since it is difficult to measure the zeta potentials of the composite particle abrasive grains thus produced as the high concentration slurry, large-sized particles and composite particles cannot be measured easily by the conventional laser Doppler method, it was measured by Matec Applied Sciences' instrument, ESA-9800, that measures the zeta potential by measuring the pressure amplitude of the high frequency vibrations caused by electrophoresis. The zeta potentials of the composite particles were −40 mV in embodiment 1, −20 mV in embodiment 2, and −5 mV ...
embodiments 4-7
[0054]Next, the relation between the concentration of the abrasive grains of composite particles and the polishing speed in the slurry for CMP was evaluated. The polishing test was conducted under similar conditions as in embodiments 1 through 3. The slurry for CMP used in embodiments 4 through 7 were composite particle abrasive grains consisting of mono-dispersion particles (5 μm) as the organic host particles of PMMA and CeO2 particles (14 nm) as the inorganic guest particles same as in embodiment 2, having the zeta potential of −20 mV. The concentration of the abrasive grains relative to water was 0.2 wt % in embodiment 4, 1.5 wt % in embodiment 5, 5 wt % in embodiment 6, and 10 wt % in embodiment 7.
[0055]While the abrasive grains of composite particles used in embodiment 2 were used both for comparative examples 4 and 5, the concentration of the abrasive grains relative to water was 0.1 wt % in embodiment 4, and 20 wt % in embodiment 5 in the polishing tests conducted similarly ...
embodiments 8-11
[0057]Next, the relation between the concentration of the abrasive grains of composite particles and the polishing speed in the slurry for CMP was evaluated. The polishing test was conducted under the same conditions. The slurries for CMP used in embodiments 8 through 11 were composite particle abrasive grains consisting of organic host particles of PMMA mono-dispersion particles and inorganic guest particles of CeO2 particles (14 nm), having the abrasive concentration of 1 wt %, while the average particle size of the PMMA mono-dispersion particles used as organic host particles was 0.3 μm in embodiment 8, 1.5 μm in embodiment 9, 5 μm in embodiment 10, and 10 μm in embodiment 11. Since the average particle diameter of the inorganic guest particles was 14 nm, sufficiently smaller than that of the host particles, so that the average particle diameter of the abovementioned PMMA mono-dispersion particles can be regarded as the average particle diameter of the composite particles, which ...
