Process for flattening surface metal after filling holes in glass through hole process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal planarization and polishing, in particular to a process for flattening surface metal after filling holes in a glass through hole process.
Background
After the product is filled with holes through electroplating, an uneven metal layer can be remained on the surface of a wafer, and a planarization polishing process is needed to be carried out by chemical mechanical polishing, and the existing chemical mechanical planarization polishing process has two problems:
1. in order to improve the polishing efficiency of metal, a corresponding corrosive chemical agent is generally added into the polishing solution, so that pits on the surface of a wafer can also react with the polishing solution, and cannot be polished, as shown in fig. 1;
2. After the surface metal is thrown away, two different materials are required to be polished simultaneously, and the difference of processing speed exists, so that the height difference exists between the two materials;
In summary, the height difference between the two materials in the prior art can only be controlled to 50-100 nm, as shown in fig. 2.
With the gradual increase of product requirements, the conventional metal chemical mechanical polishing planarization process cannot meet the product requirements, and based on the above problems, a new process for planarizing the surface metal after filling holes by a glass through hole process needs to be developed, so that the height difference between two materials is reduced, and the product requirements are met.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the technical problems, the invention designs a process for flattening the surface metal after filling holes by a glass through hole process. The height difference between two materials in the surface metal chemical mechanical polishing process after the hole filling of the existing glass through hole process is reduced, the product performance is improved, and the industry competitiveness is maintained.
The invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a process for flattening metal on the surface of a glass through hole after filling holes by the process comprises the following steps:
S1, mechanically grinding and rough polishing, namely mechanically grinding and rough polishing the metal on the surface of a product for a certain time by using a diamond grinding pad and matching with 2 mu m alumina powder, and thinning the thickness of the metal on the surface of the product to ensure that the height difference of the surface of the product after polishing is less than 5nm;
S2, chemical mechanical polishing, namely, polishing the surface metal residual part by using 100nm silicon oxide polishing solution and matching with a polyurethane polishing pad, removing and improving roughness, and adding corresponding proportion of corrosive chemical agents to perform chemical reaction on the metal according to the selection ratio of two processing materials in the product, so that the removal rate of the two materials is kept at a similar level, and the height difference between the two materials on the surface of the polished product is less than 10nm.
Preferably, in the step S1, the time of the mechanical grinding and rough polishing is 15 to 30 minutes.
Preferably, in the step S1, the thickness of the metal on the surface of the thinned product is 10-20 μm.
Preferably, in the step S2, the time of the chemical mechanical polishing is 10 to 20 minutes.
Preferably, in the step S2, the removal amount of the product surface thickness is 5-10 μm.
Preferably, the metal on the surface of the product is copper, and the substrate material of the product is glass.
Preferably, in the step S2, the chemical agent added is hydrogen peroxide.
Preferably, the ratio of the polishing solution to the hydrogen peroxide is 100:7.5.
The polishing pad has the advantages that before the existing chemical mechanical planarization polishing, mechanical polishing is added, the hardness of the masonry polishing pad is high, deformation is avoided, corrosive chemical agents are not contained in the polishing liquid, chemical reaction is not generated on metal, only the protruding part of the polishing surface can be guaranteed to be polished in the polishing process, almost no height difference exists between two materials after polishing is finished, meanwhile, the surface is in a relatively flat state when the fine polishing is carried out, the consistency of the removal rates of the two materials is kept, the height difference between two materials of a final finished product can be guaranteed to be very small, the chemical mechanical polishing time is shortened, and the cost is effectively reduced.
