Description

Polishing method, slurry, and abrasive grains

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a polishing method, slurry, abrasive grains, etc.

[0002] In the semiconductor field, with the improvement of the performance of ultra-LSI devices, it has become difficult to achieve both high integration and high speed by miniaturization technology that is an extension of the prior art. Therefore, while advancing the miniaturization of semiconductor elements, a technology for high integration in the vertical direction (that is, a technology for multilayer wiring) has been developed.

[0003] As such a technology, hybrid bonding using a resin material may be used. In hybrid bonding, after removing the resin portion (the portion containing the resin material) on the metal portion (the portion containing the metal material: a metal pattern (copper pattern, tin-silver alloy pattern, etc.) formed by photolithography) by polishing (for example, CMP (chemical mechanical polishing)), an exposed surface where the metal portion and the resin portion are exposed is obtained, and then this exposed surface can be bonded to the bonding object. The resin portion can be obtained, for example, by supplying a curable resin material onto the metal portion and then curing the resin material.

[0004] CMP is usually performed using a device capable of supplying a polishing liquid onto a polishing pad. Then, the surface of the polished member is polished by pressing the polished member against the polishing pad while supplying the polishing liquid between the surface of the polished member and the polishing pad. Thus, in CMP technology, the polishing liquid is one of the key technologies, and various polishing liquids have been developed so far in order to obtain a high-performance polishing liquid (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).

[0010] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below.

In numerical ranges described stepwise in this specification, the upper or lower limit of a numerical range in one step can be arbitrarily combined with the upper or lower limit of a numerical range in another step. In numerical ranges described in this specification, the upper or lower limit of that numerical range may be replaced with the values ​​shown in the examples. "A or B" means that either A or B is included, or both are included. Unless otherwise specified, the materials exemplified in this specification can be used individually or in combination of two or more. The content of each component in a composition means the total amount of multiple substances present in the composition if there are multiple substances corresponding to each component, unless otherwise specified. The term "film" includes not only structures formed on the entire surface when observed as a plan view, but also structures formed on only a part of it. The term "process" includes not only independent processes, but also any process that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes, as long as its intended function is achieved.

[0012] The polishing method according to this embodiment comprises a polishing step of polishing the resin portion of a workpiece having a resin portion containing a resin material using a slurry (the slurry according to this embodiment). In the polishing method according to this embodiment, the slurry contains abrasive grains (abrasive grains according to this embodiment) having silicon oxide particles and an aluminum component present on the surface of the silicon oxide particles. The slurry according to this embodiment is a slurry for polishing the resin portion of a workpiece having a resin portion containing a resin material. The slurry according to this embodiment contains abrasive grains (abrasive grains according to this embodiment) having silicon oxide particles and an aluminum component present on the surface of the silicon oxide particles.

[0055] <Preparation of Polishing Slurry> (Example 1) An aqueous dispersion (dispersant: acetic acid) of abrasive grains (abrasive grain a) having silicon dioxide particles (colloidal silica) and aluminum components present on the surface of the silicon dioxide particles was prepared. This aqueous dispersion was subjected to polishing at a rotation speed of 13,500 min -1 The mixture was centrifuged, and the supernatant was removed to collect the precipitate. This precipitate was air-dried for 12 hours to obtain dry abrasive grains. The atomic ratio of aluminum to silicon (Al / Si) obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on the surface of these abrasive grains was 0.181. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were performed under the following conditions: Measurements were taken at three different locations on the same sample, and the average value of the three measurements was calculated as the atomic ratio (Al / Si). Apparatus: K-Alpha + (Manufactured by ThermoFisher Scientific) X-ray source: Al-Kα rays (50.4W, 12kV) Measurement range: 200μmΦ Pass energy: 50eV (narrow scan) Step size: 0.100eV (narrow scan) Photoelectron extraction angle: 90° Neutralization conditions: Electron gun and Ar + Gun charge correction: C1s C-C 284.8eV

[0056] The atomic ratio Al / Si at each measurement point was calculated using the following procedure. The "Smart" algorithm, standard on the aforementioned instrument, was used to correct the background of the obtained spectra. This method is a correction technique based on the Shirley method, which removes background signals by considering changes in electron density between peaks. This algorithm is implemented in ThermoFisher Scientific's XPS analysis software and conforms to their technical documentation. The above algorithm was applied to Si2p and Al2p narrow spectra to obtain peak areas, and the atomic ratio Al / Si was obtained based on the elemental concentrations (unit: atom%) converted from these peak areas.

The change in film thickness was calculated using the average value of the 65 film thickness measurements. The polishing speed was calculated based on the change in film thickness and the polishing time. The polishing speed of the polyimide was 182 nm / min in Example 1, 161 nm / min in Example 2, 264 nm / min in Example 3, 273 nm / min in Example 4, 158 nm / min in Comparative Example 1, and 25 nm / min in Comparative Example 2.
