本発明によれば、半導体装置の製造に当って、特にダマシン法により配線を形成する際に、表面平滑性に優れ、銅層に対する高い研磨選択性を有し、銅層の除去に好ましく使用できるCMP用研磨組成物が提供される。   According to the present invention, in manufacturing a semiconductor device, particularly when a wiring is formed by a damascene method, it has excellent surface smoothness, high polishing selectivity for a copper layer, and can be preferably used for removing a copper layer. A polishing composition for CMP is provided.

次に好ましい実施形態を挙げて本発明をさらに詳しく説明する。
本発明のCMP用研磨組成物に含有される研磨砥粒としては、基本的にCMP研磨材として用いられる、二酸化ケイ素、酸化アルミニウム、酸化セリウム、窒化ケイ素、酸化ジルコニウム、炭化ケイ素および二酸化マンガンなどを全て用いることができるが、一般には安定性などの面から、二酸化ケイ素を用いることが望ましく、その中でもコロイダルシリカが最も好ましい。
Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred embodiments.
As polishing abrasive grains contained in the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, cerium oxide, silicon nitride, zirconium oxide, silicon carbide, manganese dioxide, etc., which are basically used as CMP abrasives. Although all can be used, it is generally desirable to use silicon dioxide from the viewpoint of stability and the like, and among these, colloidal silica is most preferable.

コロイダルシリカには種々の粒径を持つ多くの種類があるが、本発明のCMP用研磨組成物においてはその粒径が1〜300nmの範囲が好ましく、5〜100nmの範囲がさらに好ましい。本発明のCMP用研磨組成物における研磨砥粒の含有量は、研磨面の平坦性を向上させるうえから0.1〜10質量%である。研磨砥粒の含有量が上記下限より少ないと研磨速度が遅くなり、一方、研磨砥粒の含有量が上記上限より多いとエロージョンの抑制が難しくなるという難点がある。研磨砥粒の含有量は0.2〜5質量%の範囲がさらに好ましい。   There are many types of colloidal silica having various particle diameters. In the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention, the particle diameter is preferably in the range of 1 to 300 nm, and more preferably in the range of 5 to 100 nm. In order to improve the flatness of the polished surface, the content of the abrasive grains in the CMP polishing composition of the present invention is 0.1 to 10% by mass. When the content of the abrasive grains is less than the above lower limit, the polishing rate becomes slow. On the other hand, when the content of the abrasive grains is more than the above upper limit, it is difficult to suppress erosion. The content of the abrasive grains is more preferably in the range of 0.2 to 5% by mass.

本発明のCMP用研磨組成物に含有される酸化剤は、過硫酸アンモニウムである。過硫酸アンモニウムは、他の酸化剤と比較して銅に対する酸化力が強いという利点を有する。例えば、同量の過酸化水素を用いた場合と比較すると3倍以上である。本発明のCMP研磨用組成物における過硫酸アンモニウムの含有量は、研磨速度や研磨面の平坦性を向上させるうえから0.01〜10質量%である。過硫酸アンモニウムの含有量が上記下限より少ないと研磨速度が遅くなり、一方、過硫酸アンモニウムの含有量が上記上限より多いとエッチングやディッシングの抑制が困難になり、また、取扱いの点でも危険となる。従って過硫酸アンモニウムの含有量は、0.01〜10質量%であり、0.05〜5質量%の範囲が好ましい。   The oxidizing agent contained in the CMP polishing composition of the present invention is ammonium persulfate. Ammonium persulfate has the advantage that it has a strong oxidizing power for copper compared to other oxidizing agents. For example, it is 3 times or more compared with the case where the same amount of hydrogen peroxide is used. The content of ammonium persulfate in the CMP polishing composition of the present invention is 0.01 to 10% by mass for improving the polishing rate and the flatness of the polished surface. If the ammonium persulfate content is less than the above lower limit, the polishing rate becomes slow. On the other hand, if the ammonium persulfate content is higher than the upper limit, it becomes difficult to suppress etching and dishing, and it is also dangerous in terms of handling. Therefore, the content of ammonium persulfate is 0.01 to 10% by mass, preferably 0.05 to 5% by mass.

Oxalic acid has the advantage that the polishing rate of the copper layer is large compared to other organic acids. The content of oxalic acid in the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention is 0.01 to 5% by mass for improving the flatness of the polished surface. When the content of oxalic acid is less than the above lower limit, the polishing rate is slowed. On the other hand, when the content of oxalic acid is larger than the above upper limit, it is difficult to suppress dishing and erosion. The content of oxalic acid is preferably in the range of 0.05 to 3% by mass.

本発明のCMP用研磨組成物に含有される防食剤は、ベンゾトリアゾールである。ベンゾトリアゾールは、他の防食剤と比較して防食効果が大きいという利点を有する。本発明のCMP用研磨組成物におけるベンゾトリアゾールの含有量は、研磨面の平坦性を向上させるうえから0.0001〜5質量%である。ベンゾトリアゾールの含有量が上記下限より少ないとディッシングやエロージョンの抑制が難しくなり、一方、ベンゾトリアゾールの含有量が上記上限より多いと研磨速度が遅くなるという難点がある。ベンゾトリアゾールの含有量は0.0005〜1質量%の範囲が好ましい。   The anticorrosive contained in the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention is benzotriazole. Benzotriazole has the advantage that it has a greater anticorrosive effect than other anticorrosive agents. The content of benzotriazole in the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention is 0.0001 to 5% by mass for improving the flatness of the polished surface. When the content of benzotriazole is less than the above lower limit, it is difficult to suppress dishing and erosion. On the other hand, when the content of benzotriazole is more than the above upper limit, there is a problem that the polishing rate becomes slow. The content of benzotriazole is preferably in the range of 0.0005 to 1% by mass.

本発明のCMP用研磨組成物に含有される活性剤は、ドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸および/またはドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸の塩である。ドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸の塩としては、例えば、ドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸リチウム、ドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸ナトリウム、ドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸カリウムおよびドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸アンモニウムが挙げられる。該活性剤は他の活性剤と比較して研磨面の平坦性に優れ、CPM用研磨組成物に優れた保存安定性を与える利点を有する。例えば、ポリエチレングリコールモノノニルフェニルエーテルと比較すると研磨面が大きく改善される。本発明のCMP用研磨組成物における該活性剤の含有量は、研磨面の平坦性を向上させるうえから0.001〜10質量%である。上記活性剤の含有量が上記下限より少ないとディッシングの抑制が困難となり、一方、上記活性剤の含有量が上記上限より多いと研磨速度が遅くなるという難点がある。ドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸および/またはドデシルベンゼンスルホン酸の塩の含有量は0.0005〜5質量%の範囲が好ましい。   The activator contained in the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention is dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid and / or a salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. Examples of the salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid include lithium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, potassium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and ammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate. The activator is excellent in flatness of the polished surface as compared with other activators, and has an advantage of giving excellent storage stability to the CPM polishing composition. For example, the polishing surface is greatly improved as compared with polyethylene glycol monononyl phenyl ether. The content of the activator in the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention is 0.001 to 10% by mass for improving the flatness of the polished surface. If the content of the activator is less than the lower limit, it is difficult to suppress dishing. On the other hand, if the content of the activator is greater than the upper limit, the polishing rate becomes slow. The content of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid and / or salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid is preferably in the range of 0.0005 to 5 mass%.

本発明のCMP用研磨組成物に含有される水溶性ポリマーは、ポリビニルピロリドンである。ポリビニルピロリドンは、他の水溶性ポリマーと比較してバリア層研磨の抑制の効果が大きく銅の選択研磨性を向上させる利点を有する。また、砥粒の分散安定性を向上させる効果も大きい。本発明のCMP用研磨組成物におけるポリビニルピロリドンの含有量は、バリア層の研磨抑制に効果が発現する0.001〜10質量%である。ポリビニルピロリドンの含有量が上記下限より少ないと使用効果が得られなくなり、一方、ポリビニルピロリドンの含有量が上記上限より多くても使用効果の増加は得られないばかりか、銅層のエッチングがおこり、研磨後の表面状態が悪化する。ポリビニルピロリドンの含有量は0.05〜5質量%の範囲が好ましい。また、ポリビニルピロリドンは数平均分子量が5,000〜100,000であることが好ましい。上記数平均分子量が5,000より小さいと砥粒の分散安定性が不充分となる場合があり、一方、数平均分子量が100,000を超えると充分な研磨速度が得られえない場合がある。   The water-soluble polymer contained in the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention is polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone has an advantage of suppressing the barrier layer polishing as compared with other water-soluble polymers, and has an advantage of improving the selective polishing property of copper. Also, the effect of improving the dispersion stability of the abrasive grains is great. The content of polyvinyl pyrrolidone in the polishing composition for CMP of the present invention is 0.001 to 10% by mass, which is effective for suppressing polishing of the barrier layer. If the content of polyvinyl pyrrolidone is less than the above lower limit, the use effect can not be obtained, on the other hand, even if the content of polyvinyl pyrrolidone is more than the above upper limit, an increase in the use effect can not be obtained, etching of the copper layer occurs, The surface condition after polishing deteriorates. The content of polyvinyl pyrrolidone is preferably in the range of 0.05 to 5% by mass. The polyvinyl pyrrolidone preferably has a number average molecular weight of 5,000 to 100,000. If the number average molecular weight is less than 5,000, the dispersion stability of the abrasive grains may be insufficient. On the other hand, if the number average molecular weight exceeds 100,000, a sufficient polishing rate may not be obtained. .

上記表2より、本発明のCMP用研磨組成物の酸化剤を過酸化水素に代えた比較例4は銅層の研磨速度が不充分であった。また、有機酸をリンゴ酸に代えた比較例5は銅層の研磨速度がやや劣り、表面状態が不良であった。また、活性剤をポリエチレングリコールモノノニルフェニルエーテルに代えた比較例6は表面状態が不良であった。また、水溶性ポリマーをポリエチレングリコールに代えた比較例7は、Ta研磨の抑制が不充分で、平坦性が不良であった。これらの結果および上記表1の実施例2から、本発明のCMP用研磨組成物は、研磨選択性および表面平滑性、表面状態において優れた特性を示す配合であることが確認できた。   From Table 2 above, Comparative Example 4 in which the oxidizing agent of the CMP polishing composition of the present invention was replaced with hydrogen peroxide had an insufficient polishing rate for the copper layer. Moreover, the comparative example 5 which replaced the organic acid with malic acid had a slightly inferior polishing rate of the copper layer, and the surface state was poor. Further, Comparative Example 6 in which the activator was replaced with polyethylene glycol monononyl phenyl ether had a poor surface condition. In Comparative Example 7 in which the water-soluble polymer was replaced with polyethylene glycol, the Ta polishing was not sufficiently suppressed and the flatness was poor. From these results and Example 2 in Table 1 above, it was confirmed that the CMP polishing composition of the present invention was a compound showing excellent polishing selectivity, surface smoothness, and surface properties.
