초록

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is one of the most important processes in recent ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integrated Circuit) manufacturing technology. Recently, ceria slurries with surfactant have recently been used in STI-CMP,[1] became they have high oxide-to-nitride removal selectivity and widen the processing margin The role of the abrasives, however, on the effect of planarization on STI-CMP is not yet clear. In this study, we investigated how the crystal characteristic affects the planarization efficiency of wafer surface with controlling crystallite size and poly crystalline abrasive size independently.
