Abstract

New abrasive particles based on SiO2 and Al2O3 were produced with different coating and doping. Seven specifically designed particles were dispersed to prepare slurries for Cu CMP. Glycin was used as complexing agent and hydrogenperoxid as oxidizer. The experimentally obtained removal rate, selectivity, surface quality and planarisation ability, demonstrate a significant impact of the different abrasives tested. SiO2 particles covered with Al2O3 increased the removal rate for Cu. In comparison to this behavior, a low rate for TaN proved a high selectivity copper removal required by the Cu CMP process. A new method for the planarisation length monitoring (step polish response) shows also significant differences in planarisation length (PL) by the polish of copper with slurries composed of these new particles.
