It is located in the school of mechanical engineering, and it is biased to the abrasive particles to maintain crystal mechanical grinding. It has a flat surface and a microelectronic electrical surface, and when it is uniform, a main kind of abrasive surface can be evenly distributed on the sheet. The rotary grinding process also uses a grinding circle grinding process for the position material of the wafer. This chemical removes the semiconductor uniformity from the rate. When a semi-conductor is made with a high degree of mechanical grinding, and the carrier is tight, the mechanically continuous material removal process before this chemical body is performed in the semi-conductor removal process so that it is grinded adjacent to the grinding system to obtain machinery. The polished semiconductor plane is microelectronics on the body to obtain a flat wafer that is polished with a large grinding. The process of rotating the polishing pad uses an internal agent. The chemical pad mechanical polishing is a widely used technology to flatten the wafer surface. Now, this chemical mechanical polishing process has been used in particular. 527262 V. Description of the invention (2) The higher part of the surface of the microelectronic circuit fabricated on the semiconductor material is removed, so that the polished semiconductor surface is a completely flat surface. When chemical mechanical polishing is used in the semiconductor industry, a major problem occurs. When using a polishing method to remove materials from a semiconductor, the ability to predict the level of polishing removal rate and control the uniformity of the polishing surface is limited. Therefore, the thickness and surface uniformity of the semiconductor must be continuously measured to prevent excessive polishing of the semiconductor (Over Polishing) or insufficient polishing (Under Polishing) to make the polished semiconductor surface an uneven surface, resulting in chemical mechanical polishing. For a labor-intensive process.

一項對於化學機械研磨中不可預知及非均勻性之研磨 速度有幫助的因素,為在半導體需研磨的表面與研磨墊之 間填充一非均勻分佈之研磨劑。此研磨劑主要是用來提高 半導體需研磨表面的研磨移除速率。當一定量的研磨劑接 觸晶片表面並和表面的材料發生反應後,此定量研磨劑的 反應能力將隨反應程度變低,因而降低其研磨能力。一解 決此問題的方法為在研磨墊上不斷地提供未使用過的研磨 劑。此方法至少引起兩項問題點。一為因為此研磨方法的 物理結構,導致未使用過的研磨液很難進入待研磨的晶圓 表面與研磨墊的介面,另一為連續性的提供一未使用的 磨劑於待研磨晶圓的所有表面,是相當困難的一件事情。 因此,如何提供未使用過的研磨液,使被研磨晶圓,擁有 均勻性且全面性的研磨速率,是很重要地。One factor that can help with unpredictable and non-uniform polishing speeds in chemical mechanical polishing is to fill a non-uniformly distributed abrasive between the surface to be polished of the semiconductor and the polishing pad. This abrasive is mainly used to improve the abrasive removal rate of the surface to be polished. When a certain amount of abrasive comes into contact with the surface of the wafer and reacts with the surface material, the reactive capacity of this quantitative abrasive will decrease with the degree of reaction, thus reducing its abrasive capacity. One solution to this problem is to continuously provide unused abrasives on the polishing pad. This method causes at least two problems. One is because the physical structure of this polishing method makes it difficult for unused polishing liquid to enter the surface of the wafer to be polished and the interface of the polishing pad, and the other is to provide an unused abrasive to the wafer to be polished for continuity. All surfaces are quite difficult. Therefore, how to provide an unused polishing liquid so that the wafer to be polished has a uniform and comprehensive polishing rate is very important.

The polishing pad of the polishing pad is to be measured, and the others are not used in the research. flow. . The round surface agent to be researched can be used in a large amount of surface and the abrasive can be used to allow the surface to be rounded between the pads. The abrasive still needs to grind the surface of the crystal interface. Another method is | injection. This wafer is continuously supplied to the wafer to completely fulfill the wafer requirements. In the manufacturing process, the polished wafers: the prerequisites are the same as before. This method allows the abrasive to enter the hole to be ground on the polishing table. The purpose of the grinding method is to ensure that the polishing is performed on the surface of the wafer to be polished and the mechanical polishing is performed. Therefore, how to make 5 planes is very important. In the lessons, we tried to make the polishing agent uniform on all eight surfaces and remove the points. The wafer surface before polishing was over-uniformly polished, and the interface between the wafer surface and the polishing pad passed from under the polishing pad. Hole certificate abrasives can be interfaced with the polishing pad under the polishing pad. The use of abrasive particles and polishing the surface of the wafer after polishing to 4.

If it goes through a uniform chemical mechanical polishing process, the surface of the polished wafer will still be an uneven curved surface, which will increase the defect rate and increase the manufacturing cost. Therefore, how to make the chemical mechanical polishing process a controllable non-uniform polishing is the development focus of the current chemical mechanical polishing. 5-3 Purpose and Summary of the Invention: In view of the above background of the invention, the traditional chemical mechanical polishing has an average distribution of the polishing agent on the polishing pad, which makes the polishing removal rate of each point on the wafer surface the same.

A fourth object of the present invention is to improve the defect rate of wafers after CMP, so as to reduce the cost of production.

第8頁 527262 五、發明說明(6) 本發明的一些實施例會詳細描述如下。然而,除了詳 細描述外,本發明還可以廣泛地在其他的實施例施行,且 本發明的範圍不受限定,其以之後的專利範圍為準。 在化學機械研磨的製程中,研磨劑在研磨墊上的分佈 狀況是相當重要的,因為其會影響晶圓在研磨時的研磨移 除速率,以致於造成經過研磨後之晶圓為一不完整平面。 傳統的化學機械研磨機上,其研磨劑供給系統為一固定之 裝置,其固定之位置為一經過計算之較佳研磨劑輸出位置 ,其所要求的重點在於使研磨劑能平均分佈在研磨墊上, 即研磨墊上之研磨劑,其濃度分佈為一均勻之狀態,使晶 圓研磨表面各點的研磨移除速率均相同,達到一全平面晶 圓的最後目的。 當晶圓研磨表面某些部分的研磨劑量較多時,因研磨 時所輸入之的研磨粒子充足,使研磨移除速度較快,造成 晶圓研磨後此部分的研磨表面較其他部分為低。當研磨表 面某些部分的研磨劑量較少時,研磨時所輸入的研磨粒子 相對減少,研磨移除速率較慢,造成研磨後此部分的研磨 表面較其他部分為高,且容易因研磨劑量過少導致的潤滑 程度不足,很容易使晶圓研磨表面在研磨時因摩擦力太大 而造成晶圓表面的刮傷。因此在傳統化學機械研磨中即要 求研磨劑平均分佈於研磨墊之上,使研磨後之晶圓表面有 較佳之表面品質。Page 8 527262 V. Description of the Invention (6) Some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail as follows. However, in addition to the detailed description, the present invention can also be widely implemented in other embodiments, and the scope of the present invention is not limited, which is subject to the scope of subsequent patents. In the chemical mechanical polishing process, the distribution of the polishing agent on the polishing pad is very important, because it will affect the polishing removal rate of the wafer during polishing, so that the polished wafer is an incomplete plane. . In traditional chemical mechanical polishing machines, the abrasive supply system is a fixed device, and its fixed position is a calculated and preferred abrasive output position. The required focus is to make the abrasive evenly distributed on the polishing pad. That is, the concentration distribution of the abrasive on the polishing pad is in a uniform state, so that the polishing removal rate of each point on the polishing surface of the wafer is the same, and the final purpose of a full-plane wafer is achieved. When the polishing amount of some parts of the wafer polishing surface is large, the abrasive particles input during polishing are sufficient to make the polishing removal speed faster, resulting in a lower polishing surface of this part than other parts after wafer polishing. When the amount of abrasive in some parts of the grinding surface is small, the amount of abrasive particles input during grinding is relatively reduced, and the removal rate of grinding is slow, resulting in that the abrasive surface of this part is higher than other parts after grinding, and it is easy to cause too little abrasive The resulting insufficient degree of lubrication can easily cause the wafer surface to be scratched due to too much friction during polishing. Therefore, in the traditional chemical mechanical polishing, the polishing agent is required to be evenly distributed on the polishing pad, so that the polished wafer surface has better surface quality.

Description of the invention (7) I fee i However, in general traditional chemical mechanical polishing, it is assumed that the wafer has not been researched. The surface of the polished wafer is in a flat state, and the purpose of polishing is only to reduce wafers. The thickness of the wafer is only required to achieve the required thickness of the wafer. However, during thermal oxidation, chemical deposition, etc., the surface of the wafer is sometimes not a completely flat surface. If it is chemically polished, At the same time, the polishing removal rate is the same at all points on the wafer surface due to the same abrasive concentration, and the polished wafer surface is still an incomplete curved surface. Therefore, the method i of the present invention must be used to unevenly distribute the abrasive on the polishing pad. Using the uneven distribution of the concentration of the abrasive on the polishing pad, the polishing percentage of each point on the wafer surface | the removal rate varies according to the flatness of the wafer surface before polishing, so that the polished surface of the wafer after polishing, To achieve the required flatness.! Wafers produced in the current process, the thicker surface of the polishing surface of the wafer must be supplied with a higher concentration of abrasive when chemical mechanical polishing Or, the amount of abrasive supplied needs to be more, so that when this point is being polished, more abrasive particles are involved in the operation of polishing, and the removal rate is faster. The wafers produced by the current process have a more polished surface. When the thin part is subjected to chemical mechanical polishing, a relatively small concentration of abrasive or a small amount of abrasive must be supplied, so that when this point is being polished, fewer abrasive particles participate in the operation of grinding Φ The removal rate is slow. By controlling the concentration or dose of the abrasive, the polished wafer surface has good quality, and the defects caused by the previous process are solved.

With the method of the present invention, the surface of the unpolished wafer is first observed, and the positions A, B, and C of the abrasive supply mechanism are determined. When the abrasive supply position is different, the abrasive distribution on the wafer polishing surface will also be different, which will affect the polishing removal rate at each point of the wafer polishing surface. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the surface of the unpolished wafer. In the above, the use rate of the pad is not the same as the grinding phase.

Description of the invention (9) The surface condition of Japanese Yen 2 1 is adjusted to grind the two abrasive input ends. One input end and the other input end 40 are chemical solvents. The pH value is similar to that of commonly used abrasives. In the process of chemical mechanical polishing, adjust and control the concentration of the abrasive at the previous points of the abrasive output. The abrasive removal rate at each point of the surface is different. The concentration of the abrasive at the contact is higher. The polishing removal rate that it contacts, let the polished wafer table refer to the third figure, which is the * schematic diagram of chemical mechanical polishing. A carrier 20 is used to fix the position of the wafer 21. The grinding table 10 is rotated by a parallel parallel under the grinding table 10, and the carrier 20 is rotated upward. Using the polishing pad 1 1. The abrasive is used for polishing. The abrasive output end is located at the position of the 0-agent supply system, and 4 2 is the general abrasive 31 input end and the input end. The chemical solvent used has the function of diluting the generally used round surface to produce a bad chemical reaction. Depending on the concentration of the surface of the unpolished wafer, the surface of the wafer to be polished will be different. .

Description of the invention (ίο) Chemical solvents 3 3. A Both supply systems include at least one rod-shaped rotatable or movable element, and the central axis of rotation of this element is parallel to the axial direction of the carrier. The chemical solvent used has a pH value similar to that of commonly used abrasives, and its function is to dilute the commonly used abrasives without causing adverse chemical reactions with the surface of the wafer being polished. The rain supply system is separated by a distance. First of all, depending on the surface quality of the unpolished wafer, it is necessary to determine which point the polishing removal rate needs to be faster, and which point the polishing removal rate needs to be slower. In the process of chemical mechanical polishing, the faster polishing removal rate is required. The point is simply applied with an abrasive, and a chemical solvent is added at a point where a slower grinding removal rate is needed, diluting the concentration of the abrasive on the polishing pad, reducing the concentration of abrasive particles at this point, making the grinding removal rate slower. Finally, the polished wafer surface is brought to a desired standard.

The distance between the two supply systems is very close. First of all, depending on the quality of the unpolished wafer surface, it is necessary to determine which point the polishing removal rate needs to be faster and which point needs to be slower.

The abrasive sheet of the description of the invention (15) 1 is attached to the polishing platform i 0 one by one.

This mobile abrasive supply machine can be moved by the sn ', grind clam ^ 不 苒 d 1 1 as the polishing table. The width L, the abrasive output end is located in the same direction. It is located above the grinding table and it is used to provide chemical solvent movement. It is used for the dilution. The good chemical polishing crystal is slower and the concentration of the slower grinding agent is slower. The two abrasives used in these two supply systems and the element conversion solvent are used in the abrasive reaction of its pH value. The grinding shift of the two surface quality points requires a faster removal rate, which reduces the amount of grinding abrasive 31 in the final movement, which is approximately one dose, and the supply system determines the removal rate of the grinding shift. The crystal supply after adding this point is another supply that contains less mandrels, which will not be separated from the system, which requires a slower removal rate plus a chemical abrasive particle round surface system. One supply should be 35 rods. The crystals that can be transferred to the abrasive used by the carrier for a certain distance. Grinding removal is performed by applying a grinding solvent at the point of chemical transformation to dilute the concentration of the ions so that a desired system 37 can be provided to move or axially. ‘Function The round surface must first learn the mechanical abrasives and polishing pads.

Description of the invention (16) The abrasive is added to the surface of the wafer after polishing without adding a chemical solvent, and the shape is produced. The curve formed by the "" symbol in the figure is the situation where the surface of the wafer after polishing is obtained by using an abrasive containing a chemical solvent in chemical mechanical polishing. From the figure we can know that 'when performing chemical mechanical polishing and adding a chemical solvent to the abrasive, the surface curve of the wafer measured after polishing is relatively flat, which represents that the polished wafer has a better surface flatness. . In addition, when chemical mechanical polishing is performed without adding a chemical solvent in the abrasive, the wafer surface measured by grinding 彳 1 is a tooth shape ', indicating that the flatness of the wafer surface after polishing is relatively poor. · It can be proved that the chemical solvent is added to the polishing agent, so that the polishing agent is unevenly distributed on the polishing pad, and the surface of the wafer after polishing can have better surface flatness. 'In today's highly competitive society, production capacity and quality have always been the key requirements of various factories. If the previous chemical mechanical polishing equipment and methods continue to be used', quality and production capacity cannot be improved, and it will be eliminated. The present invention is to make the polishing agent controllably and unevenly distributed on the polishing pad, so that the object to be polished has different polishing removal rates at various points on the polishing surface during grinding, and the polished wafer has better Surface uniformity, and can overcome the defects of uneven surface of the wafer produced in the previous process, improve the yield of the product, ^ = production cost, and reduce the adjustment of the chemical mechanical polishing machine's two rooms to increase the production speed . In summary, the method provided by the present invention basically can provide an abrasive supply mechanism and add a chemical solvent to the abrasive to make grinding,
