Physical and Chemical Characterization of Recycled Oxide CMP Slurry
재생된 옥사이드 CMP 슬러리의 물리적, 화학적 특징에 대한 연구
Abstract
In recent years, as Chemical Mechanical Planarization(CMP) has been routinely utilized in integrated circuit(IC) fabrication, the consumption of slurry, main consumable in a CMP process, is greatly increased. Thus the reprocess of CMP slurries has been actively considered in the industry to reduce cost-of-consumable (COC). The main purpose of this study was to recycle the used oxide slurry using filters as a new method. As a result, Ultra Fine(UF) Filter could distinguish silica from the used oxide slurry and Reverse Osmosis(RO) Filter could distinguish Deionized(DI) Water and chemistry from chemistry solution. The tetraethylorthosilicate removal rate was almost the same as the number of recycle polishing was increased, when it was modified by slightly adding new SS-12 slurry. The microscratch didnt found as the number of recycle polishing was increased.
