Abstract

Topography after Cu CMP is one of the main issues in constructing reliable Cu interconnects. The wafer level topography is greatly influenced by many polishing properties such as removal non-uniformity and planarization efficiency, and also by many polishing variables. Among the variables, Cu deposition thickness and over polishing time are easily controllable, and closely related to the topography. For a given polishing condition, the topography can be minimized through the optimization of Cu deposition thickness and over polishing time. A model is proposed to account for the correlation between these variables and the wafer level topography. Numerical result of this model shows a strong dependency of optimized Cu deposition thickness and over polishing time on the removal non-uniformity, dishing susceptibility and over plated bump size.
