The Study of Stability of Tungsten Plug CMP Slurry for IC Multilevel Interconnect

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the developing of integrated circuit(IC) technique, improving of integration level, reducing of feature size and increasing the wafer size, the stringent requirements for global planarization during IC fabrication are raised. During chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) of multilevel interconnect for IC, there are obvious influence of the polishing quality on performances of the device.CMP slurry is one of the important factors of influencing the polishing quality. In this work, the stability of tungsten plug CMP slurry for IC multilevel interconnect was studied. Through experiment, interaction between the components in the CMP slurry was analyzed, and stable slurry with optimized polishing parameters to achieve higher removal rate were defined.
