Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology, specifically to a silicon wafer chemical mechanical polishing slurry, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Semiconductor devices typically require nanometer-level flatness; otherwise, uneven resistance and inaccurate photolithography will occur. Currently, the best process combines chemical (liquid) and mechanical (pad) methods. In chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), the two most important materials are the polishing slurry and the polishing pad. Polishing accounts for approximately 7% of the cost, yet it is the most frequently repeated step in semiconductor manufacturing. A 28nm chip requires 12 polishing cycles. As chips become smaller, at the 10nm process, polishing is repeated 30 times, using over 30 different polishing slurries.

[0003] CMP polishing slurry is a mixture of abrasives and chemical additives used in planarization processes. Slurry primarily consists of abrasives, surfactants, pH buffers, oxidants, and corrosion inhibitors. The abrasives typically include nano-sized silica (SiO2), nano-sized aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and nano-sized cerium oxide (CeO2). Other additives are combined to create different types of polishing slurries depending on the material being polished, thus classifying them into non-metallic polishing slurries, metallic polishing slurries, and other special polishing slurries.

[0004] Silicon wafer polishing slurries are non-metallic polishing slurries. The silicon wafer polishing process is divided into edge polishing, rough polishing, intermediate polishing, and fine polishing. Patents on silicon wafer polishing slurries mainly focus on rough polishing and fine polishing, and currently no patent mentions a polishing slurry that can handle both processes. Existing technologies require a wide variety of polishing slurries, causing problems for storage and transportation. Developing a polishing slurry that can handle two or more polishing processes would greatly simplify the storage, transportation, and use of polishing slurries. Summary of the Invention

This slurry, diluted 20 to 39 times, can be applied to intermediate polishing of silicon wafers, resulting in a non-hydrophilic wafer surface that can repair micro-scratches. When diluted 1 to 19 times, the slurry can be applied to fine polishing of silicon wafers, resulting in a highly hydrophilic wafer surface that avoids contamination of abrasive particles with air impurities, thereby achieving low surface defects.

The exposed C=O structure gives the polished wafer surface strong hydrophilicity, preventing contamination by abrasive particles and air impurities, thereby achieving low surface defects.

However, the present invention is not limited to the listed embodiments, but should also include any other known modifications within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0030] A chemical mechanical polishing slurry for silicon wafers comprises, by weight percentage: 10%–30% high-purity silica sol, 0.5%–1% pH adjuster, 0.1%–1% vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium salt copolymer, and the balance being water.

[0063] Applications of polishing slurries prepared in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-4:

[0064] The silicon wafers used were 300mm in diameter and were provided by Shandong Yuanjing Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.

[0065] Polishing conditions are as follows: Polishing machine: HWATSING-300B. Rough polishing conditions: SUBA800 polishing pad, polishing pressure: 300g / cm. 2 The polishing temperature was 25–30℃, the polishing head and disc rotation speed was 87 / 93 rpm, the polishing time was 60 seconds, and the polishing fluid flow rate was 300 mL / min. For intermediate polishing, the polishing pad was SUBA400, and the polishing pressure was 200 g / cm³. 2 The polishing temperature was 25–30℃, the polishing head and disc rotation speed was 87 / 93 rpm, the polishing time was 60 seconds, and the polishing fluid flow rate was 300 mL / min. Fine polishing conditions included a POLYPAS 275NX polishing pad and a polishing pressure of 150 g / cm². 2 The polishing pad temperature was 25℃, the polishing head and polishing disc rotation speed was 83 / 97 rpm, the polishing time was 120s, and the polishing fluid flow rate was 250mL / min.

[0066] Table 2 shows the statistics of the number of surface defects and water contact angle of silicon wafers after fine polishing of Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 1-4 using the polishing solution of the present invention.

[0067] Table 3 shows the statistics of the number of scratches and water contact angles on the silicon wafer surface after polishing in Comparative Examples 3-4 and Examples 5-8 of the present invention.

[0068] Silicon wafer surface defect count: Using the Skyverse SP3 defect detection device, defects larger than 40nm on the wafer surface were detected along with their coordinates. Then, the defects in the detected defect coordinates were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the defect count was recorded.

[0069] Water contact angle on silicon wafer surface: Using a Dataphysics OCA25 video optical contact angle meter, 2μL of water was dropped onto the wafer surface, and the contact angle value was calculated using a five-point fitting method.

[0070] Number of scratches on silicon wafer surface: Before and after polishing, the number of scratches on the silicon wafer surface was observed using an optical microscope at 1000x magnification.

[0071] Table 2. Number of surface defects and water contact angle of silicon wafers after fine polishing in Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 1-4.

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] Table 3 shows the number of scratches and water contact angles on the polished silicon wafer surface in Comparative Examples 3-4 and Examples 5-8.

[0075] Serial Number Number of scratches after rough polishing Number of scratches after polishing Water contact angle (°) Comparative Example 3 15 15 81.8 Comparative Example 4 16 10 62.6 Example 5 18 5 57.7 Example 6 15 3 55.4 Example 7 14 0 52.6 Example 8 15 1 53.7

[0076] Compared to Example 3, Comparative Example 1 did not contain the vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium salt copolymer, while Comparative Example 2 contained the vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer. Table 2 shows that the polymer can reduce the number of surface defects to some extent during the fine polishing process. The reason for this is that Comparative Example 1 lacked a polymer, and the alkaline additives and high-purity silica sol directly contacted the wafer. Due to chemical corrosion and particle residue, the surface defects were the most numerous. After polishing, the surface had a high water contact angle, forming a hydrophobic surface. The polymer in Comparative Example 2 lacked a quaternary ammonium salt structure and failed to provide comprehensive protection for the wafer surface or high-purity silica sol. The surface defects were only partially improved, and while the water contact angle decreased, the optimal effect was not achieved. In Examples 1-4, the addition of the vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium salt copolymer further reduced the number of wafer surface defects and the water contact angle, forming a strongly hydrophilic surface. The reason for this is that the vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium salt copolymer simultaneously possesses lactam and N... + The structure can be wrapped around the silica sol to prevent direct contact between the silica sol and the wafer surface. During polishing, the vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium salt copolymer forms bonds through hydrogen bonds and N... + The structure integrates with the wafer surface, forming a transparent, flexible thin film. The exposed C=O structure endows the wafer surface with strong hydrophilicity, preventing contamination by abrasive particles and airborne impurities, thereby achieving low surface defects and a low water contact angle. For example... Figure 1 As shown, after polishing the wafer using Example 3, the surface exhibits strong hydrophilicity. Table 2 data shows that the number of defects above 40nm on the wafer surface in Examples 1-4 is below 80, and the water contact angle is below 10°, meeting the requirements of most customers.

[0077] Compared to Example 7, Comparative Example 3 did not contain the vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium salt copolymer, while Comparative Example 4 contained the vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer. Table 3 shows that the polymer can reduce the number of surface scratches to some extent during the polishing process. The reason for this is that Comparative Example 3 did not contain a polymer, so the alkaline additive directly contacted the wafer surface, resulting in a uniform removal rate at each location, thus failing to eliminate surface scratches. The vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer in Comparative Example 4 had a lower molecular weight than polyquaternary ammonium salt-28, resulting in less tight adsorption at the scratches on the wafer surface, thus only providing some improvement. In Examples 5-8, the addition of the vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium salt copolymer further reduced the number of surface scratches on the wafer after polishing. The reason for this is... Figure 2 To demonstrate the hydrophilicity effect of the wafer surface after polishing in Example 7, compared to Examples 1-4, the polishing solution has a lower polyquaternium salt content and a higher water contact angle; the polyquaternium salt is produced through lactam and N... + The structure adheres to the depressions on the wafer surface, resulting in a low removal rate in the depressions and a high removal rate around them. Polishing can make the surface smooth and repair micro-scratches.

[0078] In summary, the polishing slurry of this invention, diluted 1-19 times, can be applied to the fine polishing of silicon wafers. By controlling the content of vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium copolymer, the number of defects above 40nm on the wafer surface after fine polishing is reduced to below 50, the number of defects above 60nm to below 10, and the number of defects above 90nm to 0. Simultaneously, the water contact angle on the wafer surface after polishing is below 10°, and the wafer surface exhibits strong hydrophilicity, preventing contamination by abrasive particles and airborne impurities. The polishing slurry of this invention, diluted 20-39 times, can be applied to the polishing of silicon wafers. By controlling the content of vinylpyrrolidone-quaternary ammonium copolymer, the number of scratches on the wafer surface after intermediate polishing is reduced to below 5.

Those skilled in the art will understand that modifications or adjustments can be made to the present invention under the guidance of this specification. These modifications or adjustments should also be within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
