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 a high-K dielectric metal gate or a ruthenium gate of a chip, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), a key technology in semiconductor processing, is used throughout all stages of wafer manufacturing, encompassing nearly every critical layer. The fundamental principle of CMP is that the wafer surface material reacts with the chemicals in the polishing slurry to form a softened layer, which is then removed under the contact pressure between the wafer and the polishing pad. During this process, the chemical reaction and mechanical wear of the abrasive particles occur instantaneously and alternately, synergistically removing the wafer surface material and achieving subnanometer-level polished surface quality.
[0003] High-k dielectric metal gate (HKMG) is the mainstream advanced structure used in 3D field-effect transistors in sub-10nm technology nodes. In the HKMG process, high-k dielectrics are used to improve gate leakage, while new metal gates are used to solve Fermi level pinning and polysilicon gate depletion problems. One of the important technical requirements is to achieve precise control of gate height, which usually requires that the gate height non-uniformity within and between wafers is less than 0. Chemical mechanical polishing of the metal gate is the last step in HKMG manufacturing. It can achieve global and local flattening 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 (7.1μΩ·cm), high chemical inertness and good thermal stability. It is currently used as a new barrier layer material for sub-10nm nodes. In the HKMG structure, using metallic Ru instead of traditional Al or W as the gate material can significantly reduce chip power consumption and improve response speed. Current research on chemical mechanical polishing of Ru mainly focuses on Cu / Ru interconnect structures when Ru is used as a barrier layer. If Ru is used as the filler metal layer material of HKMG, the polishing process is more complicated and the control requirements for surface / interface defects are more stringent.
[0005] At present, there is almost no research on the chemical mechanical polishing process of Ru as the filling metal layer of HKMG at home and abroad. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an effective polishing solution suitable for the ruthenium gate of high-K dielectric metal gate (HKMG) of semiconductor chips to fill this gap.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0036] In the following examples and comparative examples, the Ru polishing removal rate was measured using the following method: Polishing experiments were conducted on a self-developed ultra-low downforce polisher. After polishing, the sample was rinsed with deionized water to remove most of the colloidal alumina particles and other impurities adsorbed on the ruthenium surface due to its electronegativity, and then dried with nitrogen. The Ru-MRR was calculated by the difference in sample weight before and after the polishing experiment using the following formula:
[0037]
[0038] Where: MRR is the polishing rate; Δm is the mass difference before and after polishing; ρ is the density of ruthenium; r is the radius of the polishing metal disk; t is the polishing time.
[0039] In the following examples and comparative examples, electrochemical testing of ruthenium was performed using a Princeton VersaSTAT 3 electrochemical workstation and a standard three-electrode electrolytic cell to compare their galvanic corrosion trends. In these tests, a Pt electrode served as the counter electrode, a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) served as the reference electrode, and ruthenium (99.99% purity) served as the working electrode.
[0040] In the following examples and comparative examples, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of ruthenium surfaces after static etching was performed using a PHIQuantera II X-ray photoelectron spectrometer to determine the product after immersion in various complexing agent solutions. Before testing, the ruthenium samples were soaked in 50 mM citric acid for 5 minutes to remove native surface oxides. They were then soaked in the complexing agent solution for 10 minutes, dried with nitrogen, and stored under vacuum.

[0084]
[0085] From Table 1 and Figure 1 Analysis shows that after adding different types of complexing agents, the metallic Ru content on the Ru surface increases, the RuO2 content decreases, and the RuO3 content increases. This indicates that the complexing agent can react with the ruthenium oxide on the surface, destroying the dense RuO2 passivation layer on the surface, thereby increasing the ruthenium removal rate during the polishing process. Compared with the comparative example, the composite complexing agent DTPA(NH4)5 added in Example 1 has the best complexing effect.
[0086] From Table 2 and Figure 2 Analysis shows that as K + ,DTPA x- , NH4 + , DTPA(NH4)5 were introduced respectively, the open circuit potential of Ru decreased and the polarization resistance decreased respectively, indicating that the complexing effect of the above ions on Ru was enhanced successively. When equal amounts of DTPAK5 and (NH4)2SO4 were added to the solution at the same time, the changes in electrochemical parameters were similar to those when DTPA(NH4)5 was added alone, indicating that the complexing ability of the composite complexing agent DTPA(NH4)5 comes from the ionization of DTPA(NH4)5 and the ionization of DTPA(NH4)5. x- Complexation of Ru and its oxides and NH4 generated by DTPA(NH4)5 ionization + Amination and complexation of Ru and its oxides.
[0087] From Table 3 and Figure 3 Analysis shows that as the concentration of the complexing agent DTPA(NH4)5 increases, the open-circuit potential of Ru decreases. The polarization resistance of the Ru surface gradually decreases, and the polishing rate gradually increases. This indicates that DTPA(NH4)5 can reduce the density of the Ru surface oxide film and exhibit a strong complexing effect during the Ru CMP process.
[0088] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that after polishing with the polishing liquid prepared in Example 1, the surface roughness Sa of Ru was reduced from 5.00 nm to 1.24 nm. The surface quality after polishing was significantly improved, which can meet the processing requirements of high-k dielectric metal gate (HKMG) ruthenium (Ru) gate.
