Abstract

In order to reduce microscratches and obtain minimized dishing and erosion, we have developed new abrasive-free Cu CMP slurries. During the development of these slurries, some electrochemical examination was performed. The most effective knowledge was obtained through the analysis using rotary Cu disk electrode under pressure. On the basis of these studies, new abrasive-free Cu CMP slurries with a high removal rate and excellent planarity were designed and developed. The mechanism of reducing dishing and erosion was also discussed.
