ABSTRACTChemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology has successfully met the stringent requirements of ultraplanarized surfaces in semiconductor manufacture. Commonly, polyurethane based pads have been used to achieve this level of planarization. Recent studies have shown that the material properties of polishing pads used in the CMP process strongly influence the ability to reduce topography. In addition, past work has shown that in the absence of pad regeneration, polishing rate drops dramatically with polishing time. This decrease in material removal rate is believed to coincide with deterioration of the pad surface due to “cold flow” and/or “caking” of the pad material. This study attempts to correlate the intrinsic polymer properties and cellular structure of the pad material to CMP process indices like polishing rate and planarity. For example, the drop off in removal rate as a function of time can be attributed to the mechanical response of polyurethanes under conditions of critical shear. Moreover, planarity achieved is a function of pad stiffness - which itself is dependant upon intrinsic polymer stiffness and cell density.

Relative Friction

Next generation integrated circuits (IC’s) will require the use of porous dielectric materials with shear strengths much lower than the currently used dense silicon dioxide. The high friction of CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) may damage these porous dielectric materials. This research is being performed to define the nanoscale source of this poorly understood CMP friction to enable development of less damaging CMP processes. It is proposed that the nanoscale friction on the IC from CMP is a variable combination of two-body pad nanoasperity to IC contact and three-body nanocontact of the slurry particle between the pad nanoasperity and the IC surface. This research uses a combination of individual nanoscale friction measurements for CMP of SiO2, an analytical model to sum these effects, and bench scale CMP experiments to guide the research and validate the model.
