Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chemical mechanical polishing, and in particular to a polishing liquid for planarizing ruthenium gates of high-k dielectric metal gates of chips, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology, as one of the key technologies in the semiconductor processing process, is applied throughout all links of wafer manufacturing and is almost used for every key layer in wafer manufacturing. The basic principle of CMP is that the material on the wafer surface reacts with the chemical substances in the polishing liquid to form a softened layer, and the softened layer is removed under the action of the contact pressure between the wafer and the polishing pad; during this process, the chemical reaction and the mechanical wear of the abrasive grains occur instantaneously and alternately, and the removal of the surface material of the wafer and the surface quality after sub-nanometer polishing are achieved under the synergistic effect of the two.
[0003] High-k dielectric metal gate (HKMG) is the mainstream advanced structure applied to three-dimensional field-effect transistors in the sub-10nm technology node. In the HKMG process, a high-dielectric constant medium is used to improve the gate leakage problem, and at the same time, a new metal gate is adopted to solve the Fermi level pinning and polysilicon gate depletion problems. One of the important technical requirements is to achieve precise control of the gate height, and generally, the non-uniformity of the gate height within the wafer and between wafers is required to be less than The chemical mechanical polishing of the metal gate, as the last step in HKMG manufacturing, can achieve global and local planarization of the wafer surface, determine the final height of the gate level, and is a key manufacturing process in the HKMG manufacturing process.
[0004] Ruthenium has the advantages of low resistivity (7.1 μΩ·cm), high chemical reaction inertness, and good thermal stability, and is currently used as a new barrier layer material for sub-10nm nodes. In the HKMG structure, using metal Ru instead of traditional Al or W as the gate material can significantly reduce the chip power consumption and improve the response speed. Currently, the research on the chemical mechanical polishing of Ru mainly focuses on the Cu / Ru interconnect structure when Ru is used as the barrier layer. If Ru is used as the filling metal layer material of HKMG, its polishing process is more complex, and the requirements for controlling surface / interface defects are more stringent.
[0005] Currently, the research on the chemical mechanical polishing process of Ru as the filling metal layer of HKMG at home and abroad is almost zero. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an effective polishing liquid applicable to ruthenium gates of high-k dielectric metal gates (HKMG) of semiconductor chips to fill this gap.

[0083] Table 3 Fitting Results of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy of Ru in Solutions with Different Concentrations of DTPA(NH 4 ) 5 in Solutions
[0084]
[0085] As can be seen from Table 1 and Figure 1 analysis, after adding different types of complexing agents, the content of metallic Ru on the surface of Ru increases, the content of RuO 2 decreases, and the content of RuO 3 increases, indicating that the complexing agent can react with the oxides on the surface of ruthenium, and the dense RuO 2 passivation layer on the surface is damaged, thereby increasing the removal rate of ruthenium during the polishing process. Compared with the comparative example, the complexing agent DTPA(NH 4 ) 5 added in Example 1 has the best complexing effect.
[0086] As can be seen from Table 2 and Figure 2 analysis, with the successive introduction of K + , DTPA x- , NH 4 + , DTPA(NH 4 ) 5 , the open circuit potential of Ru decreases successively, and the polarization resistance decreases successively, indicating that the complexing effect of the above ions on Ru increases successively. When an equal amount of DTPAK 5 and (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 are simultaneously added to the solution, the changes in electrochemical parameters are similar to those when DTPA(NH 4 ) 5 is added alone, indicating that the complexing ability of the complexing agent DTPA(NH 4 ) 5 comes from the complexing effect of DTPA 4 ) 5 ionized from DTPA(NH x- ) 4 on Ru and its oxides and the ammoniation and complexing effects of NH 5 ionized from DTPA(NH 4 + )
[0087] As can be seen from Table 3 and Figure 3 analysis, with the complexing agent DTPA(NH 4 ) 5With the increase in concentration, the open-circuit potential of Ru decreases. The polarization resistance on the surface of Ru gradually decreases, and the polishing rate gradually increases. It shows that DTPA(NH 4 ) 5 can reduce the compactness of the oxide film on the surface of Ru and exhibits a strong complexing effect during the Ru CMP process.
[0088] As Figure 4 can be seen, after polishing with the polishing liquid prepared in Example 1, the surface roughness Sa of Ru decreases from 5.00 nm to 1.24 nm. The surface quality after polishing has been significantly improved, which can meet the processing requirements of ruthenium (Ru) gates for high-k metal gates (HKMG).
