Background Art
[0002] Generally, the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is one of the semiconductor manufacturing processes for planarizing the surface of a silicon wafer. As shown in FIG. 1, in the planarizing process, with the wafer supported by a head 20 provided at the tip of a conditioner 30 having a function of preventing scratching on the surface of the wafer, after the wafer surface is brought into close contact with a pad 10, slurry is dropped through a nozzle device 50 formed on a slurry supply arm 40, and the slurry is injected between the wafer and the pad, and the surface of the wafer is planarized by rotational force and moving force.
[0003] On the other hand, in an existing device for supplying slurry onto a pad, since the slurry is sprayed through one nozzle, the slurry is not uniformly applied over the entire pad, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the planarizing process, a large amount of discarded slurry, and a problem of increasing manufacturing costs.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0028] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the multi-nozzle 1 for CMP slurry supply according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. First, it should be noted that in the drawings, the same components or parts are represented by the same reference numerals as much as possible. In the description of the present invention, specific descriptions of related known functions or configurations are omitted in order not to obscure the gist of the present invention.
[0029] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, or 3, the multi-nozzle 1 for supplying CMP slurry according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a platen in the shape of a rotating table, a pad for polishing, a wafer carrier on which a force for vertically pressing a wafer acts, a conditioner for removing polishing residues and restoring a dulled pad to its original state, and a slurry supply device for supplying slurry. In the configuration of a CMP equipment for performing a CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) process, it is formed in the slurry supply device and is configured to inject slurry or ultrapure water onto the pad. Generally, it is mainly composed of a fitting unit 100, a buffer tank unit 200, a tube 300, and an injection nozzle unit 400.
[0030] First, the fitting unit 100 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, or 4, the fitting unit 100 is connected to each external slurry supply section and ultrapure water supply section, and slurry or ultrapure water is supplied according to the process, and it is a component that enables movement to the buffer tank unit 200 to be described later, and is composed of a slurry supply line 110, an ultrapure water supply line 120, a first discharge line 130, and a backflow prevention check valve 140.
[0031] The slurry supply line 110 is a kind of pipeline through which slurry moves. It is formed inside from the end of the fitting unit 100. The end is connected to the slurry supply section, and the tip branches in a Y shape and is connected to the first discharge line 130 to be described later.
[0032] The ultrapure water supply line 120 is a pipeline through which ultrapure water moves. It is formed inside from the end of the fitting unit 100 separately from the slurry supply line 110. The end is connected to the ultrapure water supply section, and its tip is connected to the first discharge line 130.
[0033] The first discharge line 130 is a pipeline that is respectively connected to the slurry supply line 110 and the ultrapure water supply line 120, through which slurry or ultrapure water moves in a process. Preferably, the end is bifurcated in a Y shape and is respectively connected to the slurry supply line 110 and the ultrapure water supply line 120.
[0034] The backflow prevention check valve 140 is a component provided in the ultrapure water supply line 120, and serves to prevent the slurry supplied through the slurry supply line 110 from flowing back to the ultrapure water supply line 120 side during the process of the slurry moving to the buffer tank unit 200 side through the first discharge line 130.
[0035] At this time, the backflow prevention check valve 140 is preferably formed to be open in the direction in which ultrapure water moves (from the left side to the right side with reference to FIG. 5) and closed in the reverse direction.
[0036] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, a slurry mixing unit 500 having a plurality of moving pipelines formed inside is formed between the slurry supply unit and the slurry supply line 110, so that slurries with different components can be mixed and supplied.
[0037] Next, the buffer tank unit 200 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 5, or FIG. 6, the buffer tank unit 200 is coupled to the tip of the fitting unit 100 and is composed of a cover member 210, a distribution housing 220, a mesh plate 230, and a connecting nipple 240 as a component for uniformly distributing and discharging slurry or ultrapure water to the tube 300 side described later.
[0038] The cover member 210 is a kind of cover that is coupled and fixed to the front side of a connecting plate 410 described later. A space for the distribution housing 220 and the mesh plate 230 described later to stop is formed inside, and insertion holes (not shown) into which a plurality of the tubes 300 are inserted are drilled at the tip.
[0039] As shown in FIG. 7 or FIG. 8, the distribution housing 220 is located in the space formed inside the cover member 210, and is a component for uniformly distributing the slurry or ultrapure water that has moved from the first discharge line 130 to each tube 300, and includes a fluid inlet groove 221, a fluid movement hole 222, and a second discharge line 223.
[0040] The fluid inlet groove 221 is formed as a groove in a conical shape in the central inner part of the end of the distribution housing 220 in the tip direction. As a component formed through an inclined surface structure formed by a curved surface, when it is formed in a cylindrical shape, a rectangular shape, etc., the fluid movement angle to the fluid movement hole 222 described later is gentler than that, and the deviation of the flow pressure and the flow velocity can be reduced, and the slurry or ultrapure water can move to each tube 300 side at a uniform flow rate.
[0041] A plurality of the fluid movement holes 222 are formed by drilling around the surface of the fluid inlet groove 221, and as a flow path hole for guiding the slurry or ultrapure water supplied through the fluid inlet groove 221 to the second discharge line 223 described later, due to the characteristics of the shapes of the fluid movement holes 222 and the fluid inlet groove 221, they are formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle and are connected to the second discharge line 223 described later.
[0042] The second discharge line 223 is connected to each of the fluid movement holes 222, and as a component for guiding the slurry or ultrapure water supplied through the fluid movement holes 222 to the tube 300 side, it is preferable that the fluid movement holes 222 and the second discharge line 223 are formed in the same number.
[0043] On the other hand, the second discharge line 223 is arranged in a circular shape around the horizontal axis of the distribution housing 220, thereby guiding the slurry or ultrapure water supplied to each tube 300 side to move in a state where the flow velocity, flow pressure, and flow rate are uniform.
[0044] The mesh plate 230 is a component positioned between the fitting unit 100 and the distribution housing 220. It slows down the flow rate of the supplied slurry, forms a mesh net on the central side to spread the slurry, guides the slurry to move uniformly to each fluid transfer hole 222, filters foreign substances and the like contained in the slurry, and prevents hardening and clogging phenomena from occurring in components of the pipeline structure such as the tube 300 or the injection nozzle 440 described later.
[0045] Next, the tube 300 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2, 5, or 6, the end of the tube 300 is connected to the second discharge line 223, and the tip is exposed to the outside through an insertion hole (not shown) formed at the tip of the buffer tank unit 200. As a pipeline for moving slurry or ultrapure water to the injection nozzle unit 400, for a tight connection with the second discharge line 223, it is preferable that the tube 300 and the second discharge line 223 are connected through a connection nipple 240 with a pipeline formed inside.
[0046] On the other hand, the tube 300 is preferably formed of a Tygon tube coated on the inner surface to prevent the deposition or hardening of the slurry.
[0047] Next, the injection nozzle unit 400 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 9, 10, or 11, each of the injection nozzle units 400 is connected to the tube 300 and is composed of a connection plate 410, a base plate 420, a nozzle block 430, and an injection nozzle 440 as components for supplying slurry or ultrapure water to the polishing pad.
[0048] The connection plate 410 is a component formed long in the length direction. On the front surface, the buffer tank unit 200 is coupled, on the rear surface, the slurry supply arm 40 is coupled, and at the tip, the base plate 420 described later is coupled.
[0049] The base plate 420 is a component that is coupled in an orthogonal relationship with the connection plate 410, and a hinge portion 431 and a fixing member 435, which will be described later, are respectively coupled thereto, and the nozzle block 430, which will be described later, can be supported.
[0050] On the other hand, a groove-shaped bumper groove 421 is recessed and formed on the side surface of the base plate 420. When the rotary block member 432 makes a maximum rotation about the hinge portion 431, a bumper stopper 436, which will be described later, is inserted and supported, and it can play a role in preventing impact.
[0051] In addition, a vertical lifting guide groove 422 is drilled and formed in the base plate 420.
[0052] On the other hand, the lifting protrusion 431a, which will be described later, is inserted into the lifting guide groove 422, and by moving in the vertical direction and enabling the lifting movement of the hinge portion 431, the height of the injection nozzle 440 can be adjusted.
[0053] The nozzle block 430 is rotatably coupled to the tip of the base plate 420, and its angle is adjusted according to whether the operator can operate it. As a component where the injection nozzle 440, which will be described later, stops, it is composed of a hinge portion 431, a rotary block member 432, a fixing member 435, and a bumper stopper 436.
[0054] The hinge portion 431 is coupled to the tip of the base plate 420 and serves as the rotation axis of the nozzle block 430 as a component that is hinge-coupled to the nozzle block 430.
[0055] On the other hand, at the end of the hinge portion 431, a lifting protrusion 431a that is inserted into the lifting guide groove 422 and is fixed and released according to whether the operator can operate it protrudes, and the height of the hinge portion 431 can be adjusted.
[0056] At this time, the elevating projection 431a is preferably formed by a bolt fastening type or the like so as to be easily fixed to and released from the elevating guide groove 422.
[0057] As shown in FIG. 12, the rotary block member 432 is coupled to the hinge portion 431 and rotates about the hinge portion 431. As a component whose position is fixed by a fixing member 435 described later, it has a rotation range from a minimum of 0° to a maximum of 35° on a plane depending on the insertion position of the fixing member 435 inserted into a plurality of angle adjustment holes 433 described later.
[0058] On the other hand, a plurality of angle adjustment holes 433 are formed in the rotary block member 432 at predetermined intervals so that a fixing protrusion (not shown) of the fixing member 435 is inserted therein to fix the position of the rotary block member 432. Separately from the angle adjustment holes 433, a plurality of injection nozzle stop holes 434 into which the injection nozzle 440 is inserted and fixed are formed by drilling.
[0059] The fixing member 435 is a component formed to be rotatable about an axis on the upper side of the base plate 420. A fixing protrusion (not shown) protruding downward is formed at the lower part of the tip, and the angle of the rotary block member 432 can be adjusted according to the position of the angle adjustment hole 433 into which the fixing protrusion (not shown) is inserted.
[0060] The bumper stopper 436 is a component formed in a curved surface shape on the side surface of the rotary block member 432. When the maximum rotation of the rotary block member 432 occurs during the rotation about the hinge portion 431, it can be inserted into the bumper groove 421 to minimize the occurrence of impact.
[0061] The injection nozzle 440 is connected to the tube 300, and as a component for injecting slurry or ultrapure water supplied through the tube 300 onto the pad, the injection position can be adjusted by the rotary block member 432 while being inserted into the injection nozzle stop hole 434.
[0062] On the one hand, as shown in FIG. 13, the injection nozzle 440 includes a fitting head 441 into which the tube 300 is inserted, a nozzle tube 442 through which slurry or ultrapure water is injected, and a rhombic coupling groove 443 formed on the inner surface of the fitting head 441 into which a fixing seal member 310 described later is inserted and fixed.
[0063] On the other hand, the outer surface of the tube 300 is provided with a rhombic fixing seal member 310 that is in surface contact with the outer surface of the tube 300.
[0064] During the process in which the tip of the tube 300 is partially inserted into the inside of the injection nozzle 440, the fixing seal member 310 is fitted into the coupling groove 443. The fixing seal member 310 fitted into the coupling groove 443 is in close contact with the coupling groove 443, and can prevent the tube 300 from being arbitrarily separated from the injection nozzle 440 by pressing the outer surface of the tube 300.
[0065] On the one hand, considering the cross-sectional area of the pad 10 that is normally used, it is preferable that the injection nozzles 440 are formed in eight. Also, in accordance with the number of the injection nozzles 440, it is preferable that the fluid movement holes 222, the second discharge lines 223, the tubes 300, and the injection nozzle stop holes 434 are also formed in eight.
[0066] On the other hand, in order to confirm that a constant flow pressure of the slurry supplied through the multi-nozzle 1 for supplying CMP slurry of the present invention is maintained, a pressure sensor is provided in the supply pipe connected to the slurry supply unit.
[0067] When slurry is cured or a pressure difference is generated by foreign matter at any one of the fitting unit 100, the buffer tank unit 200, the tube 300, or the injection nozzle unit 400 through the pressure sensor, it senses this and transmits a sensing signal to the control room, so that it can quickly respond when a curing phenomenon or a clogging phenomenon occurs.
