Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, and in particular relates to a chemical mechanical polishing technology for silicon wafers. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the integrated circuit industry, advanced manufacturing processes have placed higher demands on the surface flatness of silicon wafers. Techniques such as Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) and Double-Side Polishing (DSP) can achieve high flatness of silicon wafers.
[0003] CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) technology combines chemical and mechanical processes, offering advantages such as high processing speed, high polishing quality, and reliable results. However, during processing, the polishing rate at the edges of the silicon wafer is faster than in the center, leading to edge roll-off (ERO) at the outer periphery. This negatively impacts the quality and performance of subsequent processing steps. The CMP process is complex, influenced by numerous factors, including the type of workpiece surface material, the composition of the polishing slurry, and the pressure of the polishing head. While corresponding chemical mechanical polishing slurries have been developed to improve the edge roll-off problem, these slurries cannot effectively planarize the central region of the silicon wafer, resulting in poor overall wafer planarity.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can effectively reduce the amount of edge collapse in the central region of silicon wafers, that is, improve the overall flatness of the silicon wafer surface. Summary of the Invention

The grafting rate is calculated using the weight gain method, with the formula G = (m1 / m0-1) × 100%, where G is the grafting rate, and m0 and m1 are the mass of polyethylene glycol and the mass of the graft copolymer, respectively. The number-average molecular weight is obtained by GPC testing.

For example, an average secondary particle size of less than 40 nm will lead to a decrease in the polishing rate performance of the slurry, while a size greater than 200 nm is detrimental to the flatness of the wafer surface after polishing and the stability of the slurry preservation. In a specific embodiment, it is 110 nm. The above-mentioned limitation of the average secondary particle size of the abrasive particles is beneficial to improving the polishing rate performance of the slurry, the stability of slurry preservation, and reducing wafer surface defects after polishing.

[0090] Comparative Example 1
[0091] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that no water-soluble small molecules containing morpholine rings and water-soluble polymers containing polyoxyethylene chains in the main chain or side chain were used, i.e., no 2,2-dimorpholinodiethyl ether and Kollicoat IR were used; the rest is completely the same as in Example 1.
[0092] Comparative Example 2
[0093] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that: no water-soluble polymer containing polyoxyethylene chains in the main chain or side chain was used, i.e., Kollicoat IR was not used; the rest is exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0094] Comparative Example 3
[0095] The difference between this comparative example and Example 2 is that a water-soluble polymer containing polyoxyethylene chains in the main chain or side chains was not used, i.e., Kollicoat IR was not used. The rest is completely identical to Example 2.
[0096] The performance of CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) slurries is generally evaluated by measuring the polishing rate and the edge flatness of the silicon wafer after polishing. The polishing rate and silicon wafer edge flatness are measured using a bare wafer geometrology system (WaferSight2+, KLA Tencor, Milpitas, CA, USA).
[0097] The chemical mechanical polishing slurries obtained in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were used to test the edge flatness of silicon wafers. Specifically, ESFQR was used as the evaluation index for silicon wafer surface flatness. ESFQR (Edge flatnessmetric, Sector-based, Front surface referenced, least squares fit reference plane, Range of the data within sector) refers to dividing a sector 1 mm from the edge of the silicon wafer into multiple points and measuring the difference between the highest and lowest points of the silicon wafer surface morphology relative to the least squares reference plane within each point. ΔESFQR represents the improvement in silicon wafer surface flatness before and after polishing. In this embodiment, a negative ΔESFQR is used to represent the improvement in silicon wafer surface flatness by the CMP polishing slurry.
[0098] The results of silicon wafer edge flatness testing are shown in Table 1. The ΔESFQR ratios for each example in Table 1 are ratios equal to 100% of the ΔESFQR value when polished with the CMP polishing slurry in Comparative Example 1. A higher ratio indicates better improvement in silicon wafer edge flatness. The ΔESFQR value in Comparative Example 1 when polished with the CMP polishing slurry is -6.5 nm.
[0099] The chemical mechanical polishing slurries obtained in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were used to test the flatness of the silicon wafer center. Specifically, SFQR (Site-Front Surface Referenced Least Squares / Range) was used as the evaluation index for the flatness of the silicon wafer center region. SFQR refers to dividing a circular region formed 2mm from the edge of the silicon wafer into multiple units (e.g., dividing it into multiple 26mm × 8mm unit regions) and measuring the difference between the highest and lowest points of the silicon wafer surface morphology within each unit region relative to the least squares reference plane. ΔSFQR represents the improvement in the flatness of the silicon wafer center region before and after polishing. In this embodiment, a negative ΔSFQR is used to represent the improvement in the flatness of the silicon wafer center region by the polishing slurry.
[0100] The flatness test results of the central region of the silicon wafer are shown in Table 1. The ΔSFQR ratio of each example is the ratio of the ΔSFQR value when polished with CMP polishing slurry in Comparative Example 1 to 100%. The larger the ratio value, the better the flatness improvement of the central region of the silicon wafer. The ΔSFQR of CMP polishing slurry in Comparative Example 1 is -4.3nm.
[0101] Table 1
[0102]
[0103]
[0104] Note: In Comparative Example 1, the ΔESFQR value during polishing with CMP polishing slurry was -6.5nm; the ΔSFQR was -4.3nm.
[0105] As shown in Table 1, the chemical mechanical polishing slurry prepared using the method of this application can significantly reduce the ΔSFQR value while maintaining a low ΔESFQR value. This indicates that the chemical mechanical polishing slurry provided by this application, which contains water-soluble small molecules with morpholine rings and polymers with polyoxyethylene chains in the main chain or side chain, can improve the flatness of the silicon wafer edge and the flatness of the silicon wafer center, compared with the chemical mechanical polishing slurry without these two types of substances (Comparative Example 1), thus improving the overall surface flatness of the silicon wafer. Compared with the chemical mechanical polishing slurry containing only water-soluble small molecules with morpholine rings (Comparative Examples 2 and 3), the water-soluble small molecules with morpholine rings and polymers with polyoxyethylene chains in the main chain or side chain work together to significantly improve the flatness of the silicon wafer center while maintaining a certain improvement in the flatness of the silicon wafer edge. The above results indicate that the technical solution of the present invention, namely the chemical mechanical polishing slurry containing water-soluble small molecules with morpholine rings and polymers with polyoxyethylene chains in the main chain or side chain, can improve the edge collapse phenomenon of silicon wafers while achieving high flatness in the central region of silicon wafers, thereby improving the overall surface flatness of silicon wafers.
[0106] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
