Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of a complexing agent in a composition for chemical mechanical polishing of a semiconductor substrate, a composition for such chemical mechanical polishing, and a method in which the composition is used.
- polishing refers - except where otherwise explicitly or implicitly indicated - in addition to polishing processes performed on the semiconductor substrates at the initial phase of the semiconductor wafer production process, also to technically similar processes such as chemical mechanical planarization, which is abbreviated to "planarization” below.
- a "semiconductor” means - except where otherwise explicitly or implicitly indicated - a substance having semiconducting properties as well as a semiconductor component. Polishing of semiconductor substrates using silica in combination with ammonium is disclosed in e.g. US-A-3, 715,842.
- the silica used has preferably a particle size of less than 100 nm.
- the polishing composition may contain ammonium, which is referred to as an additional polishing agent.
- NH 4 OH may be present; its contribution to the alkalinity of the silica slurry is briefly discussed. Apart from this the ammonium ions and the NH 4 OH are not suggested to have any particular purpose or impact on the polishing process.
- the problem to be solved is thus to provide a way to perform polishing on a semiconductor substrate using a amorphous silica-containing composition that may hold a relatively high amount of metals while reducing or avoiding contamination of the semiconductor substrate.
- the present invention involves the use of a complexing agent in a composition comprising amorphous silica for polishing of a semi- conductor substrate, for the purpose of avoiding metal contamination of said semiconductor substrate, whereby the preferred complexing agent is NH 4 OH.
- the present invention also relates to a composition for polishing of semiconductor substrates, which composition contains amorphous silica, ammonium ions, and a specific type of complexing agent, namely a sequestering agent, preferably a chelating agent.
- a sequestering agent is a substance that removes a metal ion from a solution system by forming a complex ion that does not have the chemical reactions of the ion that is removed
- a chelating agent is an organic compound in which atoms form more than one co-ordinate bond with metals in solution.
- the chelating agent preferably comprises a plurality of substituted acetic acid groups, and may e.g.
- EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
- DTPA diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid
- HEDTA N-(hydroxoethyl)ethylene- diamintriacetic acid
- NTA nitrilo triacetic acid
- the amorphous silica is preferably colloidal, i.e. present in a stable dispersion or sol of discrete particles of amorphous silica; this definition is the same as put forward in "The Chemistry of Silica” by Ralph K. Her, page 312, Wiley & Sons 1979.
- the sizes of the silica particles are less than 200 nm, and suitably within the range from about 5-150 nm.
- the present invention relates to a method for polishing of a semi- conductor substrate in which a composition containing amorphous silica, ammonium ions, and a sequestering agent, preferably a chelating agent, is used.
- the chelating agent preferably comprises a plurality of substituted acetic acid groups, and may e.g. be chosen from a group comprising ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), N-(hydroxoethyl)ethylenediamintriacetic acid (HEDTA), and nitrilo triacetic acid (NTA), or a combination thereof.
- the method is a method for planarization, which is a process that shows many similarities with polishing, in the more limited scope of that term.
- the main differences between the methods in fact relate to their purposes, their position in the overall semiconductor wafer production process, and accordingly to the differences between the worked objects:
- the purpose of the polishing is to prepare the semiconductor substrate for the semiconductor wafer production process by providing it with a suitable surface for that process, whereas the object of the planarization is to accomplish a planarized surface to accommodate further processing.
- the polishing takes place prior to the actual semiconductor wafer production process, whereas the planarization occurs during the same.
- the workpiece of the polishing is a basically pure semiconductor substrate
- the workpiece of the planarization is a semiconductor substrate with various layers applied upon.
- the substrate in the planarization may for instance be a silicon substrate with a layer of silicon dioxide on top, whereby one of the main purposes of the planarization is to remove the oxide layer.
- the semiconductor substrate may contain any semiconducting substance.
- the semiconducting substance in the substrate is Si, GaAs, InP, Ge, or a combination thereof.
- the present invention will now be illustrated by means of a non-limiting example.
- the polishing head was pushed down onto a polishing pad with a pressure of 0.8 psi.
- the head and the pad were rotated in opposite directions, the head at a rotating speed of approximately 60 rpm, and the pad at 60 rpm.
- a composition according to the invention was added as a polishing slurry onto the pad while rotating, containing an ammonium-stabilised silica sol, Nyacol ® 601 in an amount of 0.5 percentage by weight, calculated on the composition, and a EDTA in an amount of 7 ppm.
- the wafer was submitted to a standard cleaning procedure in which it was stripped of native oxides in a HF bath, rinsed with deionized water, submerged in a heated and megasonic agitated cleaning bath containing deionized water, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonium hydroxide in a relation of 5:1:1 , rinsed with deionized water, then submerged in a heated and megasonic agitated cleaning bath containing a very dilute solution of hydrogen chloride in deionized water, ans finally rinsed with deionized water.
