Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to a cleaning composition and a chemical mechanical polishing composition. This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-083059, filed May 11, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]
[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Semiconductor devices are becoming increasingly miniaturized and highly integrated, and market needs for semiconductor substrates having multilayer wiring structures including metal wiring are increasing. The manufacturing of such semiconductor substrates requires advanced planarization technology, for which chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is used. CMP is a method of planarizing metal wiring and other surfaces by polishing them with a slurry containing abrasives, but this tends to leave behind abrasives and metal particles (polishing debris).
[0003] On the other hand, metal wiring is easily oxidized and corroded during polishing, so in CMP, anticorrosive agents (corrosion inhibitors) such as benzotriazole (BTA) and quinaldic acid (QCA) are added to prevent corrosion by forming a coating on the surface of the metal wiring that contains a complex with the surface metal of the metal wiring.
[0004] Known examples of cleaning agents used in post-CMP cleaning processes to remove abrasives, metal particulates, and anticorrosives include a cleaning agent for copper wiring semiconductors containing a specific amine and a specific polyphenol compound (Patent Document 1), a cleaning agent for copper wiring substrates containing a specific amino acid and an alkanol hydroxylamine (Patent Document 2), a cleaning agent for copper wiring semiconductors containing a specific cyclic amine and a polyphenol-based reducing agent containing 2 to 5 hydroxyl groups (Patent Document 3), a semiconductor workpiece cleaning composition containing an ammonium hydroxide compound, a chelating agent, and a corrosion inhibitor compound (Patent Document 4), a substrate cleaning agent containing an organic acid and / or complexing agent having at least one carboxyl group and a specific organic solvent (Patent Document 5), and a cleaning solution containing at least one organic alkali (Patent Document 6).
[0005] However, in recent years, there has been a demand for even higher levels of removal of abrasives, polishing debris, and anticorrosives, as well as the removal of anticorrosive-derived coatings, maintaining flatness after post-CMP cleaning processes (preventing uneven growth of oxide films), and maintaining the quality stability of cleaning chemicals.

[0096] The content of the chelating agent in the cleaning composition of the present disclosure is preferably 0.05 to 25% by weight, more preferably 0.2 to 15% by weight, and even more preferably 0.2 to 0.5% by weight.
[0097] The cleaning composition of the present disclosure may contain components other than the above-mentioned alkanol hydroxylamine compound, basic compound, polyglycerin derivative, and chelating agent, as long as they do not adversely affect cleaning of metal wiring on a substrate. The content of such components in the composition is preferably 0.01 to 2.0 wt %, more preferably 0.05 to 1.5 wt %.
[0098] The pH of the cleaning composition of the present disclosure is 10 to 13, preferably 11.5 to 12.5. By adjusting the pH within this range, the alkanol hydroxylamine compound can more effectively remove abrasives, polishing debris, anticorrosives, and coatings containing anticorrosives, and can more effectively inhibit corrosion and oxidation of the metal wiring surface.
[0099] In the detergent composition of the present disclosure, the weight ratio of the alkanolhydroxylamine compound to the basic compound (alkanolhydroxylamine compound / basic compound) is preferably 1 to 10, more preferably 1.2 to 7, and even more preferably 1.4 to 5, in order to adjust the pH of the detergent composition within the above range.
[0100] The cleaning composition of the present disclosure can be obtained, for example, by adding an alkanolhydroxylamine compound or the like to ultrapure water from which dissolved oxygen has been removed by bubbling with an inert gas (such as nitrogen gas), and stirring the mixture to homogeneity.
[0101] <Semiconductor substrate cleaning method> Cleaning of semiconductor substrates using the cleaning composition of the present disclosure can be carried out by a known cleaning method such as an immersion method in which a substrate having metal wiring is immersed in the cleaning composition, a spin (drop) method, a spray method, etc. Also, either a batch method in which multiple substrates are treated at once, or a single-wafer method in which substrates are treated one by one, can be employed.

[0103] [Chemical mechanical polishing composition] The chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure contains an abrasive and a composition containing the alkanol hydroxylamine compound, the basic compound, the polyglycerin derivative, and the optional chelating agent.
[0104] The chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure has the effect of easily removing the abrasive, polishing debris, anticorrosive, and anticorrosive-containing coating during post-polishing cleaning, thereby facilitating the inhibition of corrosion and oxidation of the metal wiring surface. In addition, the interaction between the alkanol hydroxylamine compound and the polyglycerin derivative effectively reduces the aggregation of the abrasive and inhibits the generation of secondary particles, thereby significantly reducing scratches on the object to be polished (device wafers, semiconductor substrates such as liquid crystal display substrates).
[0105] The content of the alkanol hydroxylamine compound in the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure is preferably 0.05 to 25 wt %, more preferably 0.1 to 15 wt %, and even more preferably 0.2 to 0.5 wt %. If the content of the alkanol hydroxylamine compound is less than 0.05 wt %, oxidation or corrosion of the metal wiring may not be sufficiently suppressed during post-polishing cleaning, while if it exceeds 25 wt %, the compound may not dissolve in water and may undergo phase separation.
[0106] The content of the polyglycerin derivative in the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure is preferably 0.01 to 15 wt %, more preferably 0.05 to 10 wt %, and even more preferably 0.1 to 5 wt %. If the content of the polyglycerin derivative is less than 0.01%, the aggregation of the abrasive cannot be alleviated, the secondary particles become large, and scratches tend to occur on the surface of the object to be polished. If the content of the polyglycerin derivative is more than 20 wt %, the viscosity of the chemical mechanical polishing composition tends to be too high, making the polishing operation difficult.
[0107] In the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure, the weight ratio of the alkanol hydroxylamine compound to the polyglycerin derivative (alkanol hydroxylamine compound / polyglycerin derivative) is preferably 0.003 to 10, more preferably 0.01 to 5, and even more preferably 0.05 to 3, in order to suppress the generation of secondary particles due to aggregation of the abrasive described below and thereby reduce scratches on the polished object.
[0108] <Abrasives> As the abrasive according to the present disclosure, known and commonly used abrasives can be used, and among them, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, cerium oxide, silicon nitride, or zirconium oxide can be preferably used. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0109] The average particle size of the abrasive as measured by the BET method is preferably 0.005 to 10 μm. If the average particle size of the abrasive is less than 0.005 μm, the polishing rate will be extremely slow, and if the average particle size of the abrasive is more than 10 μm, scratches will be more likely to occur.
[0110] The content of the abrasive in the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure is preferably 0.1 to 50 wt %, more preferably 0.5 to 40 wt %, and even more preferably 1 to 35 wt %. By setting the content of the abrasive within this range, the viscosity of the polishing composition can be adjusted to a range suitable for polishing, and the removal rate can be improved.
[0111] In the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure, the weight ratio of the alkanol hydroxylamine compound to the abrasive (alkanol hydroxylamine compound / abrasive) is preferably 0.001 to 0.5, more preferably 0.01 to 0.4, and even more preferably 0.05 to 0.3, in order to suppress the generation of secondary particles due to aggregation of the abrasive and reduce scratches on the object to be polished.
[0112] Examples of water used in the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure include ultrapure water, ion-exchanged water, distilled water, and tap water. The water content in the chemical mechanical polishing composition is, for example, 40 to 99 wt %, preferably 45 to 95 wt %, and more preferably 55 to 90 wt %. By adjusting the water content within the above range, the viscosity of the chemical mechanical polishing composition can be adjusted to a range suitable for polishing, and the polishing rate can be improved.
[0113] The chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure may contain, if necessary, additives such as rust inhibitors, viscosity adjusters, surfactants, pH adjusters, preservatives, and antifoaming agents in addition to the above-mentioned basic compounds, polyglycerin derivatives, and chelating agents.
[0114] The content of the additive in the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure is preferably 0.001 to 10 wt %, more preferably 0.05 to 5 wt %, and even more preferably 0.01 to 2 wt %.
[0115] The pH of the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure is preferably 10 to 13, and more preferably 11.5 to 12.5.
[0116] The chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure can be produced by mixing the cleaning composition of the present disclosure with the above-mentioned raw materials such as an abrasive using a conventional mixer. Also, the chemical mechanical polishing composition of the present disclosure can be produced by mixing the above-mentioned raw materials such as the alkanol hydroxylamine compound, the basic compound, the polyglycerin derivative, the chelating agent, the abrasive, and water using a conventional mixer. Such a chemical mechanical polishing composition is in the form of a slurry, and the particle size distribution can be measured using, for example, a laser scattering particle size distribution analyzer.
[0117] The configurations and combinations thereof in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications of the configurations are possible as appropriate within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure. The invention according to the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments, but is limited only by the claims.
[0118] Additionally, each feature disclosed herein can be combined with any other feature disclosed herein. [Example]
[0119] The present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present disclosure is not limited to these examples. (Examples 1 to 5 are referred to as Reference Examples 1 to 5) .
[0120] [Cleaning composition]
[0121] <Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2> The components shown in Table 1 were blended to give the contents (wt %) shown in Table 1 to prepare detergent compositions.
[0122] The cleaning compositions were evaluated for maintenance of flatness, removal of abrasives and the like, quality stability, corrosion prevention, removal of complex-containing coatings, and formation of copper oxide coatings as follows. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0123] (Maintaining flatness) A semiconductor wafer (Sematec 845 (copper interconnect, TaN barrier metal, TEOS oxide film), 8-inch diameter, manufactured by Sematec Corporation) was immersed in a 1% benzotriazole (BTA) solution for 1 hour to form a copper(I)-benzotriazole film on the copper interconnect surface. The wafer was then rinsed with pure water, dried, and cut into 2 cm x 2 cm strip samples. The samples were then immersed in 10 mL of the cleaning composition of each example or comparative example for 1 hour, rinsed with pure water, dried under a nitrogen gas stream, and stored at 75% humidity and 40°C for 1 or 3 days. The changes in the roughness of the interconnect surface were measured using a scanning probe microscope (SII NanoTechnology, NanoNavi-S-image, Dynamic Force Mode). The higher the value, the more uneven the interconnect surface. A larger difference in roughness between the 1-day and 3-day samples indicates poorer maintenance of flatness.
[0124] (Removal of abrasives, etc.) 10 mL of the cleaning composition of each of the examples and comparative examples was placed in a centrifuge tube, and 100 μL of a silicon dioxide dispersion (0.2 g of silicon dioxide particles (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., particle size: 70 nm) dispersed in 10 mL of ultrapure water) was added to prepare Sample 1. 100 μL of an aqueous solution of copper sulfate (CuSO4) was further added to Sample 1 to prepare Sample 2. The zeta potential of Samples 1 and 2 was measured to evaluate the removability of silicon dioxide (abrasive) itself and the removability when silicon dioxide (abrasive) and copper ions (polishing debris) coexist. A smaller zeta potential indicates better removability by the cleaning composition.
[0125] (Quality stability) 50 mL of the cleaning composition of each of the Examples and Comparative Examples was sealed in a 100 mL polyethylene container and stored in a thermostatic chamber at 40°C for one week. The cleaning composition (colorless and clear) immediately after sealing was visually observed for coloration. Coloration indicates poor quality stability of the cleaning composition.
[0126] ○ (Excellent): The composition was not colored. × (bad): The composition was colored
[0127] (corrosion prevention) The samples were obtained in the same manner as in the evaluation of flatness maintenance, and after one day of storage, and the degree of corrosion on the copper wiring surface was observed using a field emission scanning electron microscope (S-4800, manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation). The evaluation criteria were as follows:
[0128] ○ (Excellent): The wiring surface was not corroded at all. × (bad): At least a part of the wiring surface is corroded
[0129] (Removal of complex-containing coating) (1) A copper-plated silicon substrate (copper plating film thickness 1.5 μm, 8 inches diameter, manufactured by Sematech) was immersed in a 1% benzotriazole (BTA) aqueous solution for 1 hour to form a copper(I)-BTA film on the copper wiring surface, then rinsed with pure water, dried, and cut into 2 cm × 2 cm strip samples. The above samples were immersed in 10 mL of the compositions of the examples and comparative examples for 1 hour, rinsed with pure water, dried under a nitrogen gas stream, and stored at 75% humidity and 40°C for 1 day. (2) A copper-plated silicon substrate (copper plating film thickness: 1.5 μm, 4-inch diameter, manufactured by Sematech) was washed sequentially with methanol and isopropanol and then immersed in a 1% quinaldic acid (QCA) solution containing 0.07% hydrogen peroxide for 30 seconds to form a copper(II)-QCA coating on the copper wiring surface. The substrate was then rinsed with pure water, dried, and cut into 2 cm × 2 cm strip samples. The samples (1) and (2) above were immersed in 10 mL of the compositions of the examples and comparative examples for 1 hour, rinsed with pure water, dried under a nitrogen gas stream, and stored at 75% humidity and 40°C for 1 day. The N1s of each sample stored for 1 day was measured using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) (Kratos, AXIS-His) to confirm whether the copper(I)-BTA coating and copper(II)-QCA coating had been removed. That is, if the N1s spectrum intensity was the same as that of a copper-plated substrate (purchased product) without a coating, it was determined that the copper(I)-BTA coating or copper(II)-QCA coating had been removed.
[0130] (Formation of copper oxide film) In the evaluation of the removal of the complex-containing coating, it was determined that the copper(I)-BTA coating or copper(II)-QCA coating had been removed in all cases of the examples and comparative examples (except Comparative Example 1). For the samples from which these coatings had been removed, the copper LMM analytical lines were measured using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) (Kratos; AXIS-His). The abundance ratio of copper(I) oxide to metallic copper was calculated from the intensities of the analytical lines of copper(I) oxide and metallic copper formed on the copper plating surface. The results are shown in Table 1. Furthermore, using an argon sputtering device built into the X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), the surface of each sample was etched for 35 seconds (3.5 nm of silicon dioxide equivalent), and the abundance ratio of copper(I) oxide formed inside the copper plating to metallic copper after etching was calculated using the same method as above. The larger the abundance ratio of copper(I) oxide to metallic copper before and after etching, the thicker the copper(I) oxide coating.
[0131] The cleaning compositions of Examples 1 to 5 were excellent in maintaining the flatness of semiconductor wafer surfaces, with small roughness (unevenness) values and differences between samples stored for one and three days (1.5 to 1.7, 1.5 to 1.9, and 0 to 0.2, respectively), and were also found to be excellent in removing abrasives, etc., maintaining quality stability, preventing corrosion, removing complex-containing coatings, and preventing the formation of copper oxide coatings. In contrast, the cleaning composition of Comparative Example 1 had very large roughness values and differences between samples stored for one and three days (6.3, 9.1, and 2.8, respectively), and the cleaning composition of Comparative Example 2 had very large roughness values and differences between samples stored for three days (5.8 and 4.7, respectively).
[0132] [Table 1]

Note that a Surfscan SP-1 (manufactured by KLA Kencol Co., Ltd.) was used to observe the scratches.
[0139] Evaluation criteria ◎ (Excellent): 0 scratches ○ (Acceptable): 1 or more scratches but less than 5 △ (slightly poor): Number of scratches: 5 or more, but less than 10 × (Poor): 10 or more scratches
[0140] (Filterability test) The CMP polishing compositions 1 to 10 used in the polishing were each collected, and 1 liter of each CMP polishing composition was filtered through a membrane filter (diameter 47 mm) with a pore size of 1 μm at a primary pressure (raw solution side of the filter: p1) of 2 kg / cm 2 Filtration was carried out as set, the secondary pressure (filtrate side of the filter: p2) was measured, the pressure loss was calculated using the following formula, and the filterability was evaluated according to the following criteria. Note that a "Manostar Gauge WO81FN100" (manufactured by Yamamoto Electric Works Co., Ltd.) was used for the pressure measurement. Pressure loss (%) = {(p1-p2) / p1}·100
[0141] Evaluation criteria ◎ (Excellent): Less than 5% ○ (Acceptable): 5% or more, less than 30% △ (slightly poor): 30% or more, less than 50% × (Poor): 50% or more, or filtration impossible due to clogging midway

[0145] The chemical mechanical polishing compositions of Examples 6 and 7 were rated as excellent in polishing ability and excellent in filterability, and were able to suppress the generation of scratches on the silicon wafer surface and also suppress the pressure loss caused by passing through a membrane filter. In contrast, the chemical mechanical polishing compositions of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 were rated as excellent in polishing ability but fair in filterability. Furthermore, the chemical mechanical polishing compositions of Comparative Examples 5 and 6, which used a polyoxyalkylene derivative, were rated as excellent in polishing ability or poor in filterability and poor in filterability.
