[0002] CMP (Chemical-Mechanical Planarization), also known as Chemical-Mechanical Polishing, is a technology in the semiconductor device manufacturing process. It uses chemical corrosion and mechanical force to planarize the silicon wafer or substrate material during the processing, precisely controlling the required thickness and flatness of the pattern. During the polishing process, the polishing liquid flows out from the orifice of the polishing liquid delivery pipe and falls near the center position of the polishing pad. Then, under the action of centrifugal force, the polishing liquid is dispersed onto the entire polishing pad. After the polishing step, the polishing pad conditioner cooperates with high-pressure water to condition and clean the polishing pad.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 together, and now an abrasive liquid delivery device and a chemical mechanical polishing equipment provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described.

[0028] The first aspect of the present application is to provide an abrasive liquid delivery device, including a delivery pipeline 10 for delivering abrasive liquid, a diversion member 20, and a flow splitting member 30.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 together, the diversion member 20 is connected to the liquid outlet of the delivery pipeline 10 and is spaced from the liquid outlet, and a baffle 40 is provided at the edge portion of the diversion member 20. The baffle 40 extends along the circumferential direction of the diversion member 20, and an opening 21 is provided on the baffle 40.

[0030] The flow splitting member 30 protrudes from the side of the diversion member 20 facing the liquid outlet. The position of the flow splitting member 30 corresponds to the position of the liquid outlet, and the flow splitting member 30 is spaced from the baffle 40. A diversion channel 22 is formed between the flow splitting member 30 and the baffle 40, and the diversion channel 22 communicates with the opening 21.

[0031] Specifically, an abrasive liquid delivery pipeline 11 and a cleaning liquid delivery pipeline 12 are provided in the delivery pipeline 10. When the abrasive liquid delivery pipeline 11 delivers abrasive liquid to the polishing pad 50, under the flow splitting of the flow splitting member 30, part of the abrasive liquid directly flows from the flow splitting member 30 to the opening 21, then flows from the opening 21 to the polishing pad 50, and another part of the abrasive liquid flows into the diversion channel 22 and then flows from the diversion channel 22 to the opening 21, thereby realizing the diversion of the abrasive liquid to control the flow rate of the abrasive liquid. Subsequently, the abrasive liquid then flows from the opening 21 to the polishing pad 50, so that the distribution of the abrasive liquid on the polishing pad 50 is more uniform, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency of the abrasive liquid on the polishing pad 50.

[0032] When the cleaning liquid delivery pipe 12 delivers the cleaning liquid, under the diversion of the diverter 30, part of the cleaning liquid enters the open end 21 through the diverter 30, and part of the cleaning liquid enters the diversion channel 22 through the diverter 30 and then enters the open end 21 to clean the deflector 20 and the diverter 30. Subsequently, the cleaning liquid flows out from the open end 21 to clean the parts to be cleaned, such as the upper surface of the polishing pad 50, the lower surface of the polishing head 80, the circumferential side wall of the polishing head 80, and the surface of the high-pressure water side baffle 40, so as to clean the abrasive liquid crystallization on the above parts. At the same time, under the sputtering of the diverter 30, the flow direction of part of the cleaning liquid is opposite to the flow direction of the cleaning liquid flowing out from the cleaning liquid delivery pipe 12, so as to clean the abrasive liquid crystallization on the delivery pipe 10 near the liquid outlet.

[0033] At the same time, in the cleaning liquid sputtered by the diverter 30, part of the cleaning liquid is sputtered onto the upper surface of the polishing head 80 to clean the abrasive liquid crystallization on the upper surface of the polishing head 80.

[0034] In this application, the flow rate of the abrasive liquid is 300 ml / min and the flow rate of the cleaning liquid is 1000 ml / min.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, for the abrasive liquid delivery device provided in this application, at the liquid outlet of the delivery pipe 10, there is a deflector 20. A baffle 40 is provided at the edge of the deflector 20, and an open end 21 is provided on the baffle 40. A diverter 30 protrudes from the side of the deflector 20 facing the liquid outlet. A diversion channel 22 is formed between the diverter 30 and the baffle 40, and the diversion channel 22 is communicated with the open end 21. When the abrasive liquid delivery pipe 11 delivers the abrasive liquid to the polishing pad 50 at the flow rate of the first flow rate, under the diversion of the diverter 30, part of the abrasive liquid directly flows from the diverter 30 to the open end 21 and then from the open end 21 to the polishing pad 50, and another part of the abrasive liquid flows into the diversion channel 22 and flows from the diversion channel 22 to the open end 21, so as to realize the diversion of the abrasive liquid to control the flow rate of the abrasive liquid, so that the flow rate of the abrasive liquid is more stable. Subsequently, the abrasive liquid then flows from the open end 21 to the polishing pad 50, so that the distribution of the abrasive liquid on the polishing pad 50 is more uniform, which is convenient for quickly and evenly diffusing the abrasive liquid on the polishing pad 50, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency of the abrasive liquid.

[0036] Meanwhile, when the cleaning liquid delivery pipe 12 delivers the cleaning liquid, under the diversion of the diverging member 30, part of the cleaning liquid enters the open end 21 from the diverging member 30, and part of the cleaning liquid enters the diversion channel 22 from the diverging member 30 and then enters the open end 21 to clean the diversion member 20 and the diverging member 30. Subsequently, the cleaning liquid flows out from the open end 21 to clean the parts to be cleaned, such as the upper surface of the polishing pad 50, the lower surface of the polishing head 80, the circumferential side wall of the polishing head 80, and the surface of the high-pressure water side baffle 40, so as to clean the polishing liquid crystallization on the above parts. At the same time, under the sputtering of the diverging member 30, the flow direction of part of the cleaning liquid is opposite to the flow direction of the cleaning liquid flowing out from the cleaning liquid delivery pipe 12, so as to clean the polishing liquid crystallization on one end of the delivery pipe 10 near the liquid outlet. Among the cleaning liquid sputtered by the diverging member 30, part of the cleaning liquid is sputtered onto the upper surface of the polishing head 80 to clean the polishing liquid crystallization on the upper surface of the polishing head 80.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the shape of the diversion member 20 is circular. In other embodiments of the present application, the shape of the diversion member 20 can also be other shapes, such as square, as long as it can achieve the diversion of the polishing liquid and the cleaning liquid. For the convenience of description, in the present application, the shape of the diversion member 20 is taken as an example of a circle for description.

[0038] In the application, the diversion member 20 is arranged at an angle with the axial direction of the delivery pipe 10, and the diversion member 20 has opposite first and second ends. Along the axial direction of the delivery pipe 10, the distance between the first end and the liquid outlet is less than the distance between the second end and the liquid outlet, and the open end 21 is located at the second end.

[0039] Specifically, please refer to FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first end is the high end of the diversion member 20, and the second end is the low end of the diversion member 20. When the polishing liquid flows from the diversion channel 22 on the diverging member 30 to the open end 21, by arranging the diversion member 20 at an angle with the axial direction of the delivery pipe 10, under the action of gravity, the polishing liquid flows from the diversion channel 22 into the open end 21 located at the second end of the diversion member 20 and flows from the open end 21 to the polishing pad 50, so that the diversion member 20 controls the angle of the polishing liquid flowing to the polishing pad 50.

[0040] When part of the cleaning liquid flows from the diversion channel 22 on the diverging member 30 to the open end 21, by arranging the diversion member 20 at an angle with the axial direction of the delivery pipe 10, the diversion member 20 controls the angle of the cleaning liquid flowing to the polishing pad 50.

[0041] In the present application, the diverging member 30 includes a first diversion surface 31, a second diversion surface 32, a third diversion surface 33, and a fourth diversion surface 34.

[0042] Specifically, please refer to FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first flow guiding surface 31 is arranged at an angle with the flow guiding member 20. The second flow guiding surface 32 is located at one end of the first flow guiding surface 31 close to the opening 21 and is arranged at a first angle with the first flow guiding surface 31. The third flow guiding surface 33 and the fourth flow guiding surface 34 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first flow guiding surface 31 with respect to the direction from the first end to the second end, and both the third flow guiding surface and the fourth flow guiding surface 34 are arranged at a second angle with the first flow guiding surface 31.

[0043] After the grinding fluid or the cleaning fluid enters the flow dividing member 30 from the liquid outlet, part of the grinding fluid or the cleaning fluid enters the opening 21 along the first flow guiding surface 31 and the second flow guiding surface 32, and part of the grinding fluid or the cleaning fluid enters the flow guiding channel 22 from the first flow guiding surface 31, the third flow guiding surface 33 or the fourth flow guiding surface 34. At the same time, when the cleaning fluid flows to the first flow guiding surface 31, the first flow guiding surface 31 is also used to sputter the first cleaning fluid so that the cleaning fluid can clean the grinding fluid crystal on the conveying pipe 10 near the liquid outlet.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the first angle and the second angle are equal and both are 90 degrees.

[0045] In some other embodiments of the present application, the first angle and the second angle are equal and both are obtuse angles, such as 135 degrees, and when the first angle and the second angle are other obtuse angles, it is necessary to be able to divide the grinding fluid or the cleaning fluid.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the plane where the first flow guiding surface 31 is located is perpendicular to the axial direction of the conveying pipe 10.

[0047] In other embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 , the plane where the first flow guiding surface 31 is located is arranged at an angle with the axial direction of the conveying pipe 10, and the distance between the side of the first flow guiding surface 31 close to the second end and the liquid outlet is less than the distance between the side of the first flow guiding surface 31 close to the first end and the liquid outlet.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the cleaning fluid flows to the first flow guiding surface 31, by arranging the plane where the first flow guiding surface 31 is located at an angle with the axial direction of the conveying pipe 10, part of the cleaning fluid can be sputtered onto the side wall of the end of the conveying pipe 10 close to the liquid outlet.

[0049] In the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the retaining edge 40 includes a first retaining edge 41 and a second retaining edge 42.

[0050] The first side edge 41 extends from one circumferential side of the flow guiding member 20 in the direction from the first end to the second end. The second side edge 42 extends from the other circumferential side of the flow guiding member 20 in the direction from the first end to the second end.

[0051] Moreover, the first side edge 41 and the second side edge 42 are integrally provided at the end portion of the first end, and the end walls of the first side edge 41 and the second side edge 42 near the second end are spaced apart to form an opening 21.

[0052] After the grinding fluid or the cleaning fluid enters the flow guiding channel 22 from the flow dividing member 30, the first side edge 41 and the second side edge 42 cooperate with the flow dividing member 30 to guide the grinding fluid and the cleaning fluid in the flow guiding channel 22.

[0053] In this application, the flow guiding channel 22 includes a first flow channel 221 and a second flow channel 222.

[0054] The first flow channel 221 is formed between the first side edge 41 and the third flow guiding surface 33, and the second flow channel 222 is formed between the second side edge 42 and the fourth flow guiding surface 34. The first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 222 are symmetrically arranged in the direction from the first end to the second end.

[0055] Under the action of the flow dividing member 30, part of the grinding fluid or the cleaning fluid enters the first flow channel 221 from the first flow guiding surface 31 and the third flow guiding surface 33, and then flows from the first flow channel 221 to the opening 21. And part of the grinding fluid or the cleaning fluid enters the second flow channel 222 from the first flow guiding surface 31 and the fourth flow guiding surface 34, and then flows from the second flow channel 222 to the opening 21.

[0056] By symmetrically arranging the first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 222, the flow rates of the grinding fluid entering the first flow channel 221 and the grinding fluid entering the second flow channel 222 are made the same, so that the flow rates of the grinding fluid flowing to the opening 21 in the first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 222 are the same, to control the flow rate of the grinding fluid flowing to the grinding pad 50 and ensure that the grinding fluid flows evenly to the grinding pad 50.

[0057] In this application, a first shielding portion 411 is convexly provided on one side of the portion of the first side edge 41 near the second end facing the conveying pipe 10, and a second shielding portion 421 is convexly provided on one side of the portion of the second side edge 42 near the second end facing the conveying pipe 10. The sides of the first shielding portion 411 and the second shielding portion 421 facing the conveying pipe 10 are both arc-shaped curved surface structures. The side wall of the first shielding portion 411 near one end of the opening 21 coincides with the side wall of the first side edge 41 near one end of the opening 21, and the side wall of the second shielding portion 421 near one end of the opening 21 coincides with the side wall of the second side edge 42 near one end of the opening 21.

[0058] Since the deflector 20 is arranged at an angle to the axial direction of the conveying pipeline 10, when the axial direction of the conveying pipeline 10 coincides with the vertical direction, the opening 21 at the second end of the deflector 20 is located at the lowest end. When the abrasive liquid flows from the first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 222 to the opening 21, in order to prevent the abrasive liquid from overflowing from the deflector 20 at the first flow channel 221 and the second flow channel 222 respectively at the ends of the first baffle 41 and the second baffle 42 close to the opening 21, therefore, a first shielding portion 411 protrudes from the side of the first baffle 41 close to the second end towards the conveying pipeline 10, and a second shielding portion 421 protrudes from the side of the second baffle 42 close to the second end towards the conveying pipeline 10, so as to improve the shielding ability of the positions of the first baffle 41 and the second baffle 42 close to the second end for the abrasive liquid.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, please refer to FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 5 , along the axial direction of the conveying pipeline 10, the area of the conveying pipeline 10 is smaller than the area of the deflector 20, that is, the diameter of the deflector 20 is larger than the diameter of the conveying pipeline 10.

[0060] By setting the area of the deflector 20 to be larger than the area of the conveying pipeline 10, when the cleaning liquid flows to the flow dividing member 30 on the deflector 20, the cleaning liquid sputtered by the flow dividing member 30 flows to one end of the conveying pipeline 10 close to the liquid outlet under the guiding of the baffle 40.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, the abrasive liquid conveying device further includes a cover body 60 and a connecting member 70.

[0062] Specifically, the cover body 60 is sleeved on the outer side of the conveying pipeline 10 and is arranged at an interval from the liquid outlet, and the diameter of the cover body 60 is larger than the diameter of the conveying pipeline 10 and larger than the diameter of the deflector 20. One end of the connecting member 70 is connected to the cover body 60, and the other end opposite to one end is connected to the deflector 20.

[0063] The number of the connecting members 70 is two. Among the two connecting members 70, one end of one connecting member 70 is connected to the first baffle 41, and the other end is connected to the cover body 60. The other connecting member 70 has one end connected to the second baffle 42 and the other end connected to the cover body 60, so as to connect the deflector 20 to the cover body 60.

[0064] When the cleaning liquid conveying pipeline 12 conveys the cleaning liquid, under the sputtering of the flow dividing member 30, the flow direction of part of the cleaning liquid is opposite to the flow direction of the cleaning liquid flowing out of the cleaning liquid conveying pipeline 12, and under the guiding action of the baffle 40, the cleaning liquid flows to one end of the conveying pipeline 10 close to the liquid outlet and the cover body 60, so as to clean the crystallization of the abrasive liquid on one end of the conveying pipeline 10 close to the liquid outlet and the cover body 60.

[0065] In a second aspect, the present application provides a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus, including a polishing pad 50, a polishing head 80, and a polishing liquid delivery device.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , the polishing pad 50 rotates around a preset axis driven by a polishing table 90. The polishing head 80 rotates relative to the polishing pad 50 and is used to press a target wafer onto the polishing pad 50 to polish the target wafer. The polishing liquid delivery device is used to deliver the polishing liquid and the cleaning liquid onto the polishing pad 50, and the polishing liquid delivery device is the polishing liquid delivery device of any one of the above.

[0067] Compared with the prior art, the chemical mechanical polishing apparatus provided by the present application includes the above-mentioned polishing liquid delivery device. In the polishing liquid delivery device, a flow guiding member 20 is provided at the liquid outlet of the delivery pipe 10. A retaining edge 40 is provided at the edge portion of the flow guiding member 20, and an opening 21 is provided on the retaining edge 40. A flow dividing member 30 protrudes from the side of the flow guiding member 20 facing the liquid outlet. A flow guiding channel 22 is formed between the flow dividing member 30 and the retaining edge 40, and the flow guiding channel 22 communicates with the opening 21. When the polishing liquid delivery pipe 11 delivers the polishing liquid to the polishing pad 50 at a flow rate of a first flow rate, under the flow division of the flow dividing member 30, part of the polishing liquid directly flows from the flow dividing member 30 to the opening 21, and then flows from the opening 21 to the polishing pad 50, and another part of the polishing liquid flows into the flow guiding channel 22 and flows from the flow guiding channel 22 to the opening 21, so as to realize the diversion of the polishing liquid to control the flow rate of the polishing liquid, so that the flow rate of the polishing liquid is more stable. Subsequently, the polishing liquid flows from the opening 21 to the polishing pad 50, so that the distribution of the polishing liquid on the polishing pad 50 is more uniform, facilitating the rapid and uniform diffusion of the polishing liquid on the polishing pad 50, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency of the polishing liquid.

[0068] At the same time, when the cleaning liquid delivery pipe 12 delivers the cleaning liquid, under the flow division of the flow dividing member 30, part of the cleaning liquid enters the opening 21 from the flow dividing member 30, and part of the cleaning liquid enters the opening 21 after entering the flow guiding channel 22 from the flow dividing member 30, so as to clean the flow guiding member 20 and the flow dividing member 30. Subsequently, the cleaning liquid flows out from the opening 21 to clean the parts to be cleaned, such as the upper surface of the polishing pad 50, the lower surface of the polishing head 80, the circumferential side wall of the polishing head 80, and the surface of the high-pressure water side baffle 40, so as to clean the polishing liquid crystallization on the above parts. At the same time, under the sputtering of the flow dividing member 30, the flow direction of part of the cleaning liquid is opposite to the flow direction of the cleaning liquid flowing out from the cleaning liquid delivery pipe 12, so as to clean the polishing liquid crystallization at one end of the delivery pipe 10 near the liquid outlet. Among the cleaning liquid sputtered by the flow dividing member 30, part of the cleaning liquid is sputtered onto the upper surface of the polishing head 80 to clean the polishing liquid crystallization on the upper surface of the polishing head 80.

[0069] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
