Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a modified cerium oxide and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) technology is the core technology for achieving global planarization of multi-layer copper wiring in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), and it is currently the only technology that can achieve local and global planarization of the wafer surface. The purpose of this process is to obtain a high flatness on the wafer surface, reduce wafer surface scratches, and reduce metal ion contamination. In the CMP process, the rotating wafer is pressed against the rotating polishing pad, and at the same time, a polishing liquid containing some chemical reagents and abrasive particles is fed into the wafer-polishing pad interaction area. The material to be processed undergoes mechanical friction with the polishing pad under a certain pressure, and at the same time, a chemical reaction occurs with the polishing liquid in the grooves. Under the synergistic action of chemical reaction and mechanical grinding, and under the chemical and mechanical interaction, the substances on the wafer surface are removed to form a flat surface. The polishing liquid is a suspension formed by mixing cerium oxide suspension particles, chemical additives, and deionized water in a certain proportion. The abrasive particles contained in the polishing liquid are unevenly distributed, and the Large Particle Count (LPC) has a direct relationship with wafer surface scratches. The large particles generated by aggregation will cause problems such as wafer surface scratch defects, poor flatness parameters, and degradation of the surface quality of the polished workpiece, and cannot meet the requirements of large-scale high-quality integrated circuit production.
