SnO$_2$ is one of the most suitable gas sensor materials. The microstructure and surface morphology of films must be controlled because the electrical and optical properties of SnO$_2$ films depend on these characteristics. The effects of chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) on the variation of morphology of SnO$_2$ films prepared by RF sputtering system were investigated. The commercially developed ceria-based oxide slurry, silica-based oxide slurry, and alumina-based tungsten slurry were used as CMP slurry. Non-uniformities of all slurries met stability standards of less than 5 %. Silica slurry had the highest removal rate among three different slurries, sufficient thin film topographies and suitable root mean square(RMS) values.

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.

The oxide film of silicon wafer has been mainly polished by fumed silica, colloidal silica or ceria slurry. Because colloidal silica slurry is uniform and highly dispersed composed of spherical shape particles, by which the oxide film polished remains to be less scratched in finishing polishing process. Even though the uniformity and spherical shape is advantage for reducing the scratch, it may also be the factor to decrease the removal rate. We have studied the correlation of silica abrasive particles and CMP characteristics by varying pH, down force, and table rotation rate in polishing. It was found that the CMP polishing is dependent on the morphology, aggregation, and the surface property of the silica particles.

고집적화된 시스템 LSI 반도체 소자 제조 공정에서 소자의 고속화 및 고성능화에 따른 배선층수의 증가와 배선 패턴 미세화에 대한 요구가 갈수록 높아져, 광역평탄화가 가능한 STI CMP(Shallow Trench Isolation Chemical-Mechanical-Polishing)공정의 중요성이 더해가고 있다. 이러한 STI CMP 공정에서 세리아 슬러리에 첨가되는 계면활성제의 농도에 따라 산화막과 질화막 사이의 연마 선택비를 제어하는 것이 필수적 과제로 등장하고 있다. 일반적인 CMP 공정에서 압력 증가에 따른 연마 제거량이 Prestonian 거동을 나타내는 반면, 연마 입자의 크기를 변화시켜 계면활성제의 농도를 달리 하였을 경우, 압력 변화에 따라 Non-Prestonian 거동이 나타나는 것을 고찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 세리아 슬러리 내에 첨가되는 계면활성 제의 농도와 연마입자의 크기를 달리한 후, 압력을 변화시킴으로 나타나는 non-Prestonian 거동에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다.

We investigated the effect of the abrasive and additive concentrations in Nano ceria slurry on the pad surface temperature under varying pressure through chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) test using blanket wafers. The pad surface temperature after CMP increased with the abrasive concentration and decreased with increase of the additive concentration in slurries for the constant down pressure. A possible mechanism is that the additive adsorbed on the film surface during polishing decreases the friction coefficient, hence the pad surface temperature gets lower with increase of the additive concentration. This difference of temperature was more remarkable for the higher concentration of abrasives. In addition, in-situ measurement of spindle motor was carried out during oxide and nitride polishing. The averaged motor current for oxide film was higher than that for nitride film, which means the higher friction coefficient.

Cu CMP process control for global planarization of semiconductor surface were studied on a platen polisher by using an experimental copper slurry containing ceria as the abrasive component. In order to understand the process. a design of experiment was conducted. From the experiment. the effects of polishing parameters such as polishing pressure, platen speed, and speed of wafer carrier on the removal rate of copper and the uniformity in copper removal were calculated and discussed. In this study, process parameters of Cu CMP and WIWNU(Within Wafer Non Uniformity) were presented.
