ABSTRACTWafers where deposited with BPSG films having phosphorus concentration varying from 3.65 to 6.25% and boron concentration varying from 4 to 5.7%. These wafers were polished using CMP and the rates were found to depend on dopant concentrations. A fit to the data indicated that removal rates were more than 3 times as sensitive to boron concentration compared to phosphorus concentration. For a constant phosphorus concentration of 5%, each percent increase in boron increases CMP removal rate by 340 Å/min. For a constant boron concentration of 5%, each percent increase in phosphorus increases CMP removal rate by 96 Å/min.

ABSTRACTA novel approach for a single step lapping and chemical-mechanical polishing of antimonide-based III-V compounds using agglomerate-free alumina slurries is presented. Relatively high removal rates, minimal scratching, and low surface roughness have been obtained. The effects of slurry preparation cycle on the slurry properties and chemomechanical polishing results are discussed.

The uniformity of the wafer in a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is vital to the ultra-fine and high integration of semiconductor structures. In particular, the uniformity of the polishing pad corresponding to the tool directly affects the polishing uniformity and wafer shape. In this study, the profile shape of a CMP pad was predicted through a kinematic simulation based on the trajectory density of the diamond abrasives of the diamond conditioner disc. The kinematic prediction was found to be in good agreement with the experimentally measured pad profile shape. Based on this, the shape error of the pad could be maintained within 10 μm even after performing the pad conditioning process for more than 2 h, through the overhang of the conditioner.
