化學機械研磨,是目前在半導體平坦化製程上,最主要、也是最有效的技術。近年來,由於積體電路製程的線寬越來越窄,而其導線和電極的位置是透過光罩(Mask)來定義的,所以晶圓表面的平坦程度非常重要,因為要在凹凸不平的表面上,同時在凸處及凹處聚焦非常困難,再加上後段製造時,每層電路的連接也需要相當程度的平坦,否則電路間就無法接通或者有漏電的現象產生。
本論文主要在研究固定磨粒研磨(Fixed Abrasive Polishing)在淺溝渠隔離磨粒研磨(Shallow Trench Isolation Chemical Mechanical Polishing)過程中機械反應與化學反應的影響程度,並藉由此找尋出最佳化的參數組合。在本論文中,分別進行了研磨參數控制實驗、不同耗材實驗與田口實驗設計,使得固定磨粒研磨的各項參數特性,更加容易被掌控,而由田口實驗設計,也讓固定磨粒研磨效率達到加倍的最佳研磨效果,並能同時改善研磨均勻度。
At present, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is the most effective technology to achieve global planarization in semiconductor manufacturing processes. In recent years, the feature size of the IC processes is down to the nanometer range. Because the interconnect and electrode patterns are defined by masks, the wafer global planarization is very important. Without CMP, it is extremely difficult to focus in the unsmooth wafer surface. Furthermore, the connection between each electric circuit also needs suitable planarization, otherwise the interconnections may be short or cause leakage currents. Thus, CMP plays an extremely important role in the IC manufacturing industry.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the important fixed abrasive polishing (FACMP) parameters and consumables for the shallow trench isolation process. From the parameters, consumables and Taguchi DOE methods, the best polishing performance is obtained. The experimental results not only improve the double removal rate for polishing but also 6% uniformity performance
