Abstract

In this paper, so as to investigate the influence of oxidizer for each metal film using the alumina-based slurry, we have peformed the W/Ti metal-CMP process by adding $H_2O_2$ as a representative oxidizer from 1 wt% to 9 wt%, respectively. As an experimental result, for the case of 5 wt% oxidizer added, the removal rates were improved and polishing selectivity of 1.4 : 1 was obtained. Also, we compared the effects of oxidizer or W-CMP process with three different kind of oxidizers with 5 wt% hydrogen peroxide such as $Fe(NO_3)_3$, $H_2O_2$, and $KIO_3$. Finally, atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements were carried out for the analysis of surface morphology and root mean square (RMS) roughness after CMP Process.
