Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: Chemical Mechanical Planarization For Advanced Node High Bandwidth Memory Device CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The present application claims priority to U.S. provisional application no. 63 / 702,891 filed on October 3, 2024, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto for all allowable purposes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention relates to chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) polishing compositions, CMP polishing methods and CMP polishing systems in semiconductor device fabrication process. In particular, the present invention relates to CMP polishing composition, CMP polishing methods and CMP polishing systems which can be used for polishing multi-types of films in advanced node High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) device.

[0003] In the fabrication of microelectronics devices to be used for advanced node High Bandwidth Memory applications, an important step involved is chemical mechanical planarization polishing to planarize the semiconductor wafer surface and / or the substrate structure. For example, during the fabrication of 3D stacked devices in advanced High Bandwidth Memory device, multi-types of films need to be removed / polished in high and tunable removal rates from patterned wafer surfaces through the CMP polishing process.

[0004] In some advanced node High Bandwidth Memory devices, a silicon nitride layer(commonly referred to as SiN layer) can be deposited over copper (Cu) vias, and then a silicon oxide layer (commonly referred to as oxide layer) can be deposited over the SiN layer. Then, both over-capped oxide layer and SiN layer need to be removed effectively through CMP process in order to allow the copper vias being planarized and effectively stacked in packed high density and advanced High Bandwidth Memory devices. Removing the capped oxide, SiN layers, andachieve global planarization of copper vias through CMP process demand well- designed CMP polishing compositions which are able to provide high and tunable removal rates while removing oxide, SiN, and Cu films from the patterned wafer surface.

[0005] There are work done in the art for polishing one or two kind of multi-types of films, such as the work disclosed in US 11,572,490, US 20,200,071,566, US6,616,514, US 6,984,588 and US 6,544,892.

[0006] However, the known arts do not address the CMP polishing process in advanced HBM device and the importance of removing all multi-types of films; such as silicon oxide film, SiN film, copper and other relevant films from the patterned wafer surface in sufficient high polishing removal rates. For example, the CMP polishing process in advanced HBM device need to have the removal rate for silicon oxide film to be ≥ 4000 A / min., the removal rate for SiN film to be ≥ 2000 Å / min., and the removal rate for Cu film to be ≥ 1300 A / min. or 1600 A / min. , preferably ≥ 2000 A / min.. respectively.

[0132] SiN removal rates were increased at both concentrations of ammonium persulfate.

[0133] The testing results shown in Table 3 concluded that both SiN and Cu film removal rates can be boosted through using the salt of peroxy compounds as oxidizing agent.

[0147] When Cu corrosion inhibitor is used at 0.03 wt.% in the CMP polishing composition, there was a decrease of the Cu removal rate reduction which indicates that the corrosion inhibitor 1,2,4-triazole at a high enough concentration provided the Cu film surface passivation protection.Example 6

[0167] In Example 10, the CMP polishing composition having Dowfax™ C6L as a surfactant was evaluated.

Example 11

[0171] The surface contact angle for the polishing composition on a film surface (such as the surfaces to be polished in current application) is a key indicator to show if the polishing composition is able to wet the film surface effectively. The lower contact angles generally indicate better slurry wettability and improved polishing performance, In Example 11, the reduction of the surface contact angle on a film surface using a surfactant indicates the effective film surface wetting by using the surfactant.

[0172] Various types of surfactants were evaluated in improving film surface wetting.

[0173] The reference sample (Ref.) for surface contact angle measurement used 5 wt.% ceria-coated silica, 0.035 wt.% benzenesulfonic acid, 0.2 wt. % Glycine, 0.03 wt.% 1,2,4 triazole, 0.05 wt.% 5-MBTA, 0.2 wt.% periodic acid, a biocide ranging from 0.0001 wt.% to 0.05 wt.%, and deionized water with pH adjusted to 8.5 by using ammonium hydroxide.

The use of 1000 ppm polyacrylic acid with molecular weight 70K did not show that much improved wetting on the surfaces for all three tested films.
