摘要： A composite, dual-hardness polishing pad for use in a linear chemical mechanical polishing apparatus and a method for forming the pad are described. In the composite, dual-hardness polishing pad, a pad body is first provided which has a leading edge and a trailing edge for mounting to a linear belt immediately adjacent to a second polishing pad. The pad body is fabricated of a material that has a first hardness, the leading edge contacts an object being polished on the composite polishing pad before the trailing edge when the linear belt turns in a linear polishing process. The composite polishing pad further includes a buffer pad that is adhesively joined to the leading edge of the pad body for contacting the object that is being polished, the buffer pad may be fabricated of a material that has a second hardness which is at least 20% smaller than the first hardness such that impact on the object being polished is minimized during a linear polishing process. The present invention is further directed to a method for adhesively joining a buffer pad to a pad body of a polishing pad.

摘要： A new method is provided for the post-deposition treatment of copper lines. A damascene copper line pattern whereby a TaN barrier layer and a seed layer have been provided is polished. Under the first embodiment of the invention, the deposited copper is polished (Cu CMP), the surface of the wafer is rinsed using a first High Flow DI rinse that contains a TBA inhibitor. The TaN CMP is performed immediately following the first High Flow DI rinse. A second High Flow DI rinse is applied using DI water that contains TBA inhibitor. The required following rinse step is executed immediately after the second High Flow DI rinse has been completed. Under the second embodiment of the invention, the process of CMP has been divided in two distinct steps where the first step is aimed at corrosion elimination and the second step is aimed at elimination of mechanical damage to the polished copper. The processing conditions for the second processing step have been extended and optimized, thereby using a second belt of a CMP apparatus.

摘要： A method for preventing copper corrosion on a wafer during a chemical mechanical polishing process when the process is temporarily halted due to equipment malfunction and an apparatus for carrying out such method are disclosed. In the method, after the chemical mechanical polishing process is stopped for correcting equipment malfunction or any other processing problems, a cleaning solvent is sprayed toward the wafer surface to remove substantially all slurry solution from the surface to prevent corrosion of the copper layer, or other metal layer, by the slurry solution. The cleaning solvent may be sprayed from spray nozzles mounted around and juxtaposed to the polishing table onto which the polishing pad is mounted as long as the spray nozzles do not interfere with the rotation of the polishing pad.

摘要： An oxide polishing process that is part of a CMP process flow is disclosed. After a copper layer is polished at a first polishing station and a diffusion barrier layer is polished at a second polishing station, a key sequence at a third polish station is the application of a first oxide slurry and a first DI water rinse followed by a second oxide slurry and then a second DI water rinse. As a result, defect counts are reduced from several thousand to less than 100. Another important factor is a low down force that enables more efficient particle removal. The improved oxide polishing process has the same throughput as a single oxide polish and a DI water rinse method and may be implemented in any three slurry copper CMP process flow.
