Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polishing pad technology, specifically to a white pad for semiconductor polishing and its manufacturing process. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese Patent No. CN114918823A discloses a white pad for polishing large-size substrates and its manufacturing process. A first polishing pad connecting plate is disposed between the second and third polishing white pads, and a second polishing pad connecting plate is disposed between the first and second polishing white pads. This invention solves the problems of poor adaptability of existing polishing pads, their inability to work synchronously with different workpieces, and the generally poor polishing effect, lacking sufficient toughness to improve polishing quality. During polishing and grinding, the external surface of the third polishing white pad is squeezed by the polishing element. The pressure is buffered by three layers, and the elasticity of the first and second polishing pad connecting plates further enhances the buffering capacity during high-speed grinding, improving the polishing and grinding effect and effectively improving the quality of polishing work.
[0003] In the existing technology, the polyurethane raw materials used to prepare white pads for semiconductor polishing have poor wear resistance, high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, which leads to a relatively short service life of the white pads during use. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned above in the background art, and to propose a white pad for semiconductor polishing and its manufacturing process.
[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A white pad for semiconductor polishing includes a nanofiber interlayer disposed in the middle of the interior of the white pad body, a circular connecting portion disposed on the upper outer side of the white pad body, a homogeneous main body layer disposed on the lower end face of the nanofiber interlayer, and a high-flatness polishing portion disposed on the lower end of the homogeneous main body layer; the high-flatness polishing portion includes a polyurethane polishing base layer and a filling layer, the polyurethane polishing base layer comprising 120-150 parts of modified polyurethane and 30-45 parts of polyurethane adhesive.
[0007] The preparation process of modified polyurethane includes the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: Place polytetrahydrofuran diol in a reaction vessel, add toluene-2,4-diisocyanate dropwise, then add the accelerator dibutyltin dilaurate; add an 8% (w / w) N,N-dimethylformamide solution of 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride, react for 3 hours to obtain polyurethane oligomers;
[0009] Step 2: Potassium tert-butoxide, methylsilanetriol, and methyl 3-dodecyl thiopropionate are reacted by heating to obtain intermediate 1;
[0010] Step 3: Add the polyurethane oligomer to intermediate 1, and stir continuously at 100°C for 2 hours to obtain the modified polyurethane oligomer.
[0011] Step 4: Continue stirring the modified polyurethane oligomer and cool it to 35-45℃. Add the active compound, cool it to room temperature, add the polymerization inhibitor and free radical initiator, and continue stirring for 15-30 minutes to obtain the modified polyurethane.
[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention, the ratio of polytetrahydrofuran diol, toluene-2,4-diisocyanate, dibutyltin dilaurate and 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride is controlled to be 1 mol: 2-2.4 mol: 0.06-0.08 mol: 1-1.2 mol.
[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention, the ratio of potassium tert-butoxide, methylsilanetriol, and methyl 3-dodecyl thiopropionate is controlled to be 0.05-0.07 mol: 1 mol: 2 mol.
[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention, the ratio of polyurethane oligomer to intermediate 1 is controlled to be 1 mol: 2-2.4 mol.
[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the active compound is one of N,N'-bisacryloyl-2,2-ethylenediamine, N,N'-bisacryloyl-1,6-hexanediamine, and N,N'-bisacryloylpiperazine.
[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: the polymerization inhibitor is one of tert-butylcatechol and p-phenol monobutyl ether.
[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: the free radical initiator is di-tert-butyl peroxide and / or di-tert-pentyl peroxide.
[0018] A manufacturing process for a white pad used in semiconductor polishing includes the following steps:
[0019] The nanofiber interlayer is located in the middle of the interior of the polishing white pad body, the annular connecting part is located on the upper outer side of the polishing white pad body, the homogeneous main body layer is located on the lower end face of the nanofiber interlayer, and the high flatness polishing part composed of 120-150 parts of modified polyurethane and 30-45 parts of polyurethane adhesive is located at the lower end of the homogeneous main body layer.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0021] This invention uses polytetrahydrofuran diol, toluene-2,4-diisocyanate, and 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride as raw materials to synthesize carboxyl-terminated polyurethane oligomers. Using methylsilanetriol and methyl 3-dodecylthiopropionate as raw materials and potassium tert-butoxide as a catalyst, intermediate 1 is synthesized. The reaction ratio of methylsilanetriol to methyl 3-dodecylthiopropionate is controlled at 1:2, allowing the two hydroxyl groups in methylsilanetriol to undergo transesterification with 2 moles of methyl 3-dodecylthiopropionate, yielding a thioester antioxidant containing silicon and hydroxyl groups. The carboxyl groups of the polyurethane oligomers react with the hydroxyl groups of intermediate 1 to obtain modified polyurethane. The thioester antioxidant containing silicon and hydroxyl groups is then attached to the polyurethane oligomers. The Si-O bonds effectively enhance the wear resistance and high-temperature resistance of the polyurethane, and the presence of the thioester antioxidant effectively improves its service life.
[0022] Therefore, the white pads prepared from modified polyurethane have good wear resistance, high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance. Detailed Implementation
