Abstract

This paper attempts to establish planarization model in chemical mechanical polishing of silicon oxide using high selective ceria slurry. Though removal rate of the high area is increased due to a high pressure focused on the area with abrasive and pad, the removal rate of the same area is not increased but decreased even in the very beginning of polishing with ceria slurry. It also observed that only the elevated area is polished and dishing is not occurred during the polishing in high selective ceria CMP. In this work, it is proposed that ceria abrasives are filled in the low trench area and then support the pad as well as high area during the CMP, which results in planarization without dishing.
