Abstract

This article shows the root cause of Cu corrosion and sulfur contamination due sulfite vapor reflow through drainpipe of load cup to the original three-step Cu CMP equipment. Now, we provide a solution which to modify the arrangement of the drainpipe in original three-step Cu CMP equipment. This is an effective implement for reduction the defects of Cu corrosion and sulfur contamination from long-term observations.
