Description

研磨墊及其製造方法 Polishing pad and method of manufacturing same

本發明是有關於研磨墊及其製造方法,且特別是有關於一種能有效收集(collect)與施予(supply)研磨液(polishing slurry)的研磨墊及此研磨墊的製造方法。 The present invention relates to a polishing pad and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a polishing pad that can efficiently collect and supply a polishing slurry, and a method of manufacturing the polishing pad.

化學機械平坦化/研磨(chemical mechanical planarization/polishing,CMP)製程已廣泛地用於半導體元件的平坦化,且隨著晶圓直徑的增加、高積集度(integration density)、微線寬以及多層線路結構的趨勢,CMP製程變得更加重要。 The chemical mechanical planarization/polishing (CMP) process has been widely used for planarization of semiconductor devices, and with increasing wafer diameter, high integration density, micro-line width, and multilayers. The trend of the line structure, the CMP process has become more important.

在CMP製程中,研磨速度和晶圓的平整度(flatness)是重要的,且這種CMP製程的表現取決於CMP設備的條件,也取決於屬於耗材(consumable member)的研磨液與研磨墊的表現。具體地說,研磨墊允許在研磨墊與晶圓表面接觸的狀態下施予研磨液,且研磨液均勻地散布(disperse)至晶圓上,研磨液所含的研磨粒子和研磨墊的突起(protrusion)引發物理性磨損。 In the CMP process, the polishing speed and the flatness of the wafer are important, and the performance of the CMP process depends on the conditions of the CMP equipment and also on the polishing liquid and the polishing pad belonging to the consumable member. which performed. Specifically, the polishing pad allows the polishing liquid to be applied while the polishing pad is in contact with the surface of the wafer, and the polishing liquid is evenly dispersed onto the wafer, and the abrasive particles and the protrusions of the polishing pad are contained in the polishing liquid ( Prominence) causes physical wear.

在這種案例中,為了使研磨液順暢地流動,研磨液必須佈滿(saturate)研磨墊直接接觸晶圓的表面。針對這點,在研磨墊的表面 形成微孔(micro hole)(例如孔洞(pore))的技術揭露於美國專利第5,578,362號及類似文件中。 In this case, in order for the slurry to flow smoothly, the slurry must saturate the polishing pad to directly contact the surface of the wafer. For this, on the surface of the polishing pad A technique for forming a micro-hole (e.g., a pore) is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,578,362 and the like.

就這方面來說,將研磨墊的表面維持於佈滿研磨液的狀態以增加研磨墊在CMP製程中的作用並促進其表現是非常重要的。因此,在研磨墊中形成各種形狀的溝槽,以形成大量液流(slurry flow),並且藉由對微孔材料(microporous material)進行開孔以在研磨墊的表面形成微孔洞(如上所述)。 In this regard, it is very important to maintain the surface of the polishing pad in a state of being filled with the slurry to increase the role of the polishing pad in the CMP process and to promote its performance. Therefore, grooves of various shapes are formed in the polishing pad to form a large amount of slurry flow, and micropores are formed on the surface of the polishing pad by opening a microporous material (as above) Said).

其中,將溝槽形成為各種圖案的技術已經發展出來;然而,與用來形成微孔洞的多個孔洞有關的技術仍然有所限制,侷限於使用形成預定孔洞的方法。 Among them, a technique of forming grooves into various patterns has been developed; however, the technique related to a plurality of holes for forming micropores is still limited, and is limited to the use of a method of forming predetermined holes.

也就是說,根據相關技術,形成多個孔洞的方法既有優點也有缺點。現實上,考慮到這些優點與缺點,CMP製程使用時有所調整。 That is to say, according to the related art, a method of forming a plurality of holes has both advantages and disadvantages. In reality, considering these advantages and disadvantages, the CMP process is adjusted when it is used.

然而,由於半導體製程必須更加小型化且更加複雜,為了滿足這種需求,CMP製程也需要一種用於形成多個孔洞的改良技術。 However, as semiconductor processes must be more miniaturized and more complex, to meet this need, CMP processes also require an improved technique for forming multiple holes.

本發明將參照隨附圖式而作更完整的描述,其中,隨附圖式呈現的是發明的示範性實施例。 The invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

圖1是根據本發明的一種實施例的研磨墊100的剖面圖,圖2是圖1所示的研磨墊100的研磨層120的剖面的掃描式電子顯微鏡(SEM)放大照片,而圖3是採用圖1的研磨墊100的研磨設備1的示意圖。 1 is a cross-sectional view of a polishing pad 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) enlarged photograph of a cross section of the polishing layer 120 of the polishing pad 100 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is A schematic view of a polishing apparatus 1 employing the polishing pad 100 of FIG.

參照圖1,根據本發明的本實施例,研磨墊100包括支持層110以及研磨層120。支持層110是用來將研磨墊100固定至平台3,如圖3所示。為了對應於對矽晶圓7(即待研磨的物件,其裝載於面對平台3的研磨頭(head)5)施加的力,支持層110由具有穩定度(stability)的材料製成,使得支持層110得以以相對於矽晶圓7而言均勻的彈性(elasticity)支持形成在支持層110上的研磨層120。因此,支持層110主要是由非孔性、固體且均勻的彈性(elastic)材料製成,且相對於形成在支持層110上的研磨層120具有較低的硬度(hardness)。 Referring to FIG. 1, in accordance with the present embodiment of the present invention, a polishing pad 100 includes a support layer 110 and an abrasive layer 120. The support layer 110 is used to secure the polishing pad 100 to the platform 3, as shown in FIG. In order to correspond to the force applied to the wafer 7 (i.e., the object to be polished, which is loaded on the head 5 facing the platform 3), the support layer 110 is made of a material having a stability such that The support layer 110 is capable of supporting the polishing layer 120 formed on the support layer 110 with uniform elasticity with respect to the germanium wafer 7. Therefore, the support layer 110 is mainly made of a non-porous, solid, and uniform elastic material, and has a lower hardness with respect to the abrasive layer 120 formed on the support layer 110.

此外,支持層110至少有一部分是透明的或半透明的,因此用來偵測待研磨物件的表面平整度的光束170可以穿過支持層110。圖3中,待研磨物件是矽晶圓7,且矽晶圓7的待研磨層是金屬層或絕緣層。然而,各種形式的基板都可以作為待研磨物件,例如在其上會形成薄膜電晶體液晶顯示器(TFT-LCD)的基板、玻璃基板、陶瓷基板 以及高分子塑膠基板。此外,研磨墊100可以在沒有支持層110的條件下製造。 In addition, at least a portion of the support layer 110 is transparent or translucent, and thus the light beam 170 for detecting the surface flatness of the object to be polished may pass through the support layer 110. In FIG. 3, the object to be polished is the silicon wafer 7, and the layer to be polished of the silicon wafer 7 is a metal layer or an insulating layer. However, various forms of the substrate can be used as the object to be polished, for example, a substrate on which a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) is formed, a glass substrate, a ceramic substrate. And polymer plastic substrate. Further, the polishing pad 100 can be fabricated without the support layer 110.

再者,雖然圖3呈現的研磨墊100是圓形(因此適用於旋轉型研磨設備1),但也可以根據研磨設備1的形狀,將研磨墊100修改成各種形狀,例如矩形、方形等。 Furthermore, although the polishing pad 100 presented in FIG. 3 is circular (and thus suitable for the rotary type grinding apparatus 1), the polishing pad 100 may be modified into various shapes such as a rectangle, a square, or the like according to the shape of the polishing apparatus 1.

如圖3所示,研磨層120直接接觸作為待研磨物件的矽晶圓7。研磨層120可以藉由混合或化學性結合用來形成研磨層的預定材料而形成。亦即,構成研磨層120的高分子主體130由多種習知成份構成,而對這些習知材料以及成型材料的描述將省略。 As shown in FIG. 3, the polishing layer 120 directly contacts the tantalum wafer 7 as an object to be polished. The abrasive layer 120 can be formed by mixing or chemically bonding a predetermined material used to form the abrasive layer. That is, the polymer body 130 constituting the polishing layer 120 is composed of various conventional components, and the description of these conventional materials and molding materials will be omitted.

研磨層120可包括兩種或更多種的多個孔洞。兩種或更多種的多個孔洞的尺寸是透過由惰性氣體、膠囊型發泡劑、化學發泡劑以及液態微量單元所組成的族群中選出的至少兩者來控制。 The abrasive layer 120 may include a plurality of holes of two or more. The size of the two or more plurality of holes is controlled by at least two selected from the group consisting of an inert gas, a capsule type blowing agent, a chemical blowing agent, and a liquid micro unit.

也就是說,孔洞的種類可以藉由形成孔洞的方法彼此區分開來。根據本發明,研磨層120包括由以下孔洞組成的族群中選出的至少兩種孔洞:由惰性氣體形成之孔洞、由膠囊型發泡劑形成之孔洞、由化學發泡劑形成之孔洞以及由液態微量單元形成之孔洞。 That is to say, the types of holes can be distinguished from each other by the method of forming the holes. According to the present invention, the polishing layer 120 includes at least two types of pores selected from the group consisting of pores formed of an inert gas, pores formed by a capsule type foaming agent, pores formed by a chemical foaming agent, and liquid A hole formed by a trace unit.

在此,孔洞可以形成,且其尺寸可以依據其種類彼此區分開來;然而,本發明的態樣不限於此。 Here, the holes may be formed, and the sizes thereof may be distinguished from each other depending on the kind thereof; however, the aspect of the invention is not limited thereto.

以下,作為本發明的一種實例,假設研磨層120中形成有兩種多個孔洞(亦即多個第一孔洞以及多個第二孔洞),且具體地說,其間多個第一孔洞是由液態微量單元形成,而多個第二孔洞是由惰性氣體形成。 Hereinafter, as an example of the present invention, it is assumed that two kinds of holes (ie, a plurality of first holes and a plurality of second holes) are formed in the polishing layer 120, and specifically, a plurality of first holes are caused by A liquid microcell is formed, and a plurality of second pores are formed by an inert gas.

就此方面而言,當研磨層120包括由液態微量單元形成的多個第一孔洞時,藉由混合用於形成研磨層的材料(如前所述)所形成 的材料可對應於含有聚烯烴二醇(polyalkylene glycol)的親水性(hydrophilic)高分子主體(以下稱之為「含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體」)130。 In this regard, when the polishing layer 120 includes a plurality of first holes formed of liquid micro-cells, it is formed by mixing materials for forming the polishing layer (as described above). The material may correspond to a hydrophilic polymer host (hereinafter referred to as "polyolefin polymer-containing hydrophilic polymer host") 130 containing a polyolefin diol (polyalkylene glycol).

也就是說,研磨層120可包括由內嵌(embedded)的液態微量單元形成的多個第一孔洞141以及屬於氣孔(包括內嵌的惰性氣體)的多個第二孔洞142,兩者均勻地分布在含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體130的預定區域中。 That is, the polishing layer 120 may include a plurality of first holes 141 formed of an embedded liquid micro-cell and a plurality of second holes 142 belonging to the pores (including the embedded inert gas), both of which are evenly It is distributed in a predetermined region of the hydrophilic polymer main body 130 containing the polyolefin diol.

以此方式,研磨層120包含的多個第一孔洞(液態微量單元孔(liquid microelement pores))141以及多個第二孔洞(氣孔)142的實際例子如圖2所示。 In this manner, a practical example of a plurality of first holes (liquid microelement pores) 141 and a plurality of second holes (pores) 142 included in the polishing layer 120 is as shown in FIG.

具有開孔微結構的多個微孔洞141’與多個微孔洞142’是由多個第一孔洞141以及多個第二孔洞142所定義,且均勻地安置在與矽晶圓7直接接觸的研磨層表面160中。 The plurality of micro holes 141' and the plurality of micro holes 142' having the open-cell microstructure are defined by the plurality of first holes 141 and the plurality of second holes 142, and are uniformly disposed directly on the wafer 7 Contacted in the abrasive layer surface 160.

在此,具有開孔微結構且由多個第一孔洞141以及多個第二孔洞142定義的多個微孔洞141’與多個微孔洞142’表示,當內嵌於研磨層120的液態微量單元或惰性氣體漏至外部時,包括液態微量單元或惰性氣體的區域仍然保留於微孔洞141’以及微孔洞142’中,因此來自外部的預定材料可以在所述區域中收集。 Here, a plurality of micro holes 141 ′ having an open-cell microstructure and defined by a plurality of first holes 141 and a plurality of second holes 142 and a plurality of micro holes 142 ′ are indicated when embedded in the polishing layer 120 . When the liquid trace unit or the inert gas leaks to the outside, the region including the liquid trace unit or the inert gas remains in the micropores 141' and the micropores 142', so that predetermined materials from the outside can be collected in the regions.

內嵌於研磨墊100的多個第一孔洞141與多個第二孔洞142在研磨製程期間遭受磨損,持續地曝露至研磨層表面160,並形成微孔洞141’和微孔洞142’,而微孔洞141’與微孔洞142’由研磨液13填充(substitute)。因此,既然研磨層表面160中只存在高分子主體130,研磨墊100的不均勻磨損不會發生,而作為待研磨物件的矽晶圓7可以受到均勻的研磨。 The plurality of first holes 141 and the plurality of second holes 142 embedded in the polishing pad 100 are subjected to wear during the polishing process, continuously exposed to the surface of the polishing layer 160, and the micro holes 141' and the micro holes 142' are formed. The micropores 141' and the micropores 142' are substituted by the slurry 13. Therefore, since only the polymer body 130 is present in the surface 160 of the polishing layer, uneven wear of the polishing pad 100 does not occur, and the silicon wafer 7 as the object to be polished can be uniformly polished.

含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體130可以由不溶於研磨液13(平坦化使用的化學溶液)的材料所形成。舉例來說,如圖3所示,含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體130是由一種研磨液13(透過研磨設備1的噴嘴11來施予)無法滲透(infiltrate)的材料所形成。 The polyolefin polymer-containing hydrophilic polymer host 130 may be formed of a material that is insoluble in the polishing liquid 13 (chemical solution used for planarization). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the polyolefin polymer-containing hydrophilic polymer body 130 is formed of a material that is infiltrated by a polishing liquid 13 (performed through the nozzle 11 of the polishing apparatus 1).

含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體130是藉由將親水材料與聚烯烴二醇化合物與高分子主體130化學性結合或物理性混合而形成。 The polyolefin polymer-containing hydrophilic polymer host 130 is formed by chemically or physically mixing a hydrophilic material with a polyolefin diol compound and a polymer host 130.

用於形成研磨層120的前述材料可以包括各種與前述材料不同的材料。 The foregoing materials for forming the abrasive layer 120 may include various materials different from the foregoing materials.

形成第一孔洞141的內嵌液態微量單元是由與含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體130不相容的液態材料形成,亦即,由脂肪族礦物油(aliphatic mineral oil)、芳香族礦物油(aromatic mineral oil)、分子端不具有羥基的矽油(silicon oil)、大豆油(soybean oil)、椰子油(coconut oil)、棕櫚油(palm oil)、棉子油(cotton seed oil)、山茶花油(camellia oil)、硬化油(hardened oil)及其組合所組成的族群中選出的材料。 The embedded liquid micro-unit forming the first hole 141 is formed of a liquid material which is incompatible with the hydrophilic polymer main body 130 containing the polyolefin diol, that is, an aliphatic mineral oil or an aromatic An aromatic mineral oil, a silicon oil having no hydroxyl group at the molecular end, soybean oil, coconut oil, palm oil, cotton seed oil, A material selected from the group consisting of camellia oil, hardened oil, and combinations thereof.

由內嵌的液態微量單元形成的第一孔洞141可以以微型球體形狀散布於含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體130內。球體的平均直徑可以介於1 μm至30 μm之間,例如介於2 μm至10 μm之間。在前述範圍內的球體直徑對於收集和施予研磨液13來說是最佳的。然而,球體的直徑可以根據研磨液13的種類而改變,且內嵌的液態微量單元141的尺寸也可以改變。 The first pores 141 formed of the embedded liquid micro-cells may be dispersed in the polyolefin polymer-containing hydrophilic polymer body 130 in a microspherical shape. The average diameter of the spheres can be between 1 μm and 30 μm, for example between 2 μm and 10 μm. The diameter of the sphere within the foregoing range is optimal for collecting and applying the slurry 13. However, the diameter of the sphere may vary depending on the kind of the polishing liquid 13, and the size of the embedded liquid micro-unit 141 may also vary.

由內嵌的液態微量單元形成的第一孔洞141的形狀(亦即球體的平均直徑與球體的濃度)可以藉由改變含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體的親水程度,簡單地且多樣式地進行調整。 The shape of the first hole 141 formed by the embedded liquid smear unit (that is, the average diameter of the sphere and the concentration of the sphere) can be simply and more varied by changing the hydrophilicity of the hydrophilic polymer body containing the polyolefin diol. Adjust the style.

此外,由內嵌的液態微量單元形成的第一孔洞141的形狀可 以藉由調整液態材料的重量份(以用於形成高分子主體的材料為100重量份計)來簡單地且多樣式地進行調整。例如,為了藉由內嵌的液態微量單元的理想形狀形成第一孔洞141,以用於形成高分子主體的材料為100重量份計(亦即,以100重量份的聚氨酯計),使用20重量份至50重量份,更佳是30重量份至40重量份。 In addition, the shape of the first hole 141 formed by the embedded liquid micro-unit can be The adjustment is simply and multi-patterned by adjusting the weight fraction of the liquid material (100 parts by weight of the material for forming the polymer body). For example, in order to form the first hole 141 by a desired shape of the embedded liquid micro unit, the material for forming the polymer main body is 100 parts by weight (that is, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyurethane), and 20 weight is used. The portion is 50 parts by weight, more preferably 30 parts by weight to 40 parts by weight.

由內嵌的液態微量單元形成的第一孔洞141的尺寸與濃度以及由第一孔洞141定義的微孔洞141’可以藉由調整含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體的親水性質的程度及/或液態材料的量,簡單地且多樣式地進行調整。因此,根據待研磨物件的種類及/或研磨液13的種類,可以製造出具有各式各樣研磨表現的研磨墊100。 The size and concentration of the first hole 141 formed by the embedded liquid micro-cell and the micro-hole 141' defined by the first hole 141 can be adjusted by adjusting the hydrophilic property of the hydrophilic polymer body containing the polyolefin diol. And/or the amount of liquid material is adjusted simply and in multiple styles. Therefore, depending on the type of the object to be polished and/or the type of the polishing liquid 13, it is possible to manufacture the polishing pad 100 having various polishing performances.

第二孔洞142是由注入惰性氣體、膠囊型發泡劑或化學發泡劑而形成。 The second hole 142 is formed by injecting an inert gas, a capsule type foaming agent or a chemical foaming agent.

在此,惰性氣體可以是價數(valence)為0、化學穩定的氣體,亦即氦(He)、氖(Ne)、氬(Ar)、氪(Kr)、氙(Xe)或氡(Rn)。此外,除了週期表的8族元素以外,惰性氣體還可以是不與高分子主體反應的任意氣體,亦即不參與聚氨酯反應的氣體,例如N2Here, the inert gas may be a chemically stable gas having a valence of 0, that is, helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) or krypton (Rn). ). Further, in addition to the Group 8 element of the periodic table, the inert gas may be any gas that does not react with the polymer host, that is, a gas that does not participate in the polyurethane reaction, such as N 2 .

與預定材料混合並在熱的作用下蒸發或反應從而產生大量氣泡的發泡劑主要可以分類為化學發泡劑以及物理發泡劑。 A blowing agent which is mixed with a predetermined material and evaporated or reacted under the action of heat to produce a large amount of bubbles can be mainly classified into a chemical foaming agent and a physical foaming agent.

在化學發泡劑中,發泡由二氧化碳產生,而二氧化碳是藉由使用異氰酸酯基團(isocyanate group)的活性(vitality)與水反應而產生,因此,水用作發泡劑。在物理發泡劑中,氣泡是透過產生反應熱而形成,而反應熱是透過注入氣體或使用可分解式或蒸發式(evaporative)發泡劑而產生,因此,物理發泡劑並未參與高分子反應。這些發泡劑的種類和特徵已為習知,因此將省略其詳細描述。 In the chemical foaming agent, foaming is produced by carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide is produced by reacting with water using the activity of an isocyanate group, and therefore, water is used as a foaming agent. In a physical blowing agent, bubbles are formed by generating heat of reaction, which is generated by injecting a gas or using a decomposable or evaporative blowing agent, and therefore, the physical blowing agent does not participate in high Molecular reaction. The kind and characteristics of these blowing agents are well known, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

藉由混合惰性氣體或各種發泡劑(膠囊型發泡劑或化學發泡劑),將第二孔洞142形成在研磨層120上。第二孔洞142的半徑可以比第一孔洞141的半徑大。較佳的狀況是形成第二孔洞142,使其體積對應於10倍的第一孔洞141的體積。 The second hole 142 is formed on the polishing layer 120 by mixing an inert gas or various foaming agents (capsule-type foaming agent or chemical foaming agent). The radius of the second hole 142 may be larger than the radius of the first hole 141. Preferably, the second hole 142 is formed such that its volume corresponds to 10 times the volume of the first hole 141.

以下,將參照圖4描述根據本發明的一種實施例的研磨墊100的研磨層120的製造方法。 Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the polishing layer 120 of the polishing pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

首先,混合用於形成研磨層120的材料(S100)。詳細地說,可以將前述用於形成含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體130的材料與用於形成研磨層120的材料混合(S100)。 First, the material for forming the polishing layer 120 is mixed (S100). In detail, the material for forming the polyolefin polymer-containing hydrophilic polymer body 130 described above may be mixed with the material for forming the polishing layer 120 (S100).

在此,用於形成含聚烯烴二醇的親水性高分子主體130的材料是透過使親水材料與聚烯烴二醇化合物和用於形成高分子主體的材料混合或反應而產生。混合或反應可以透過攪拌來執行。 Here, the material for forming the polyolefin polymer-containing hydrophilic polymer main body 130 is produced by mixing or reacting a hydrophilic material with a polyolefin diol compound and a material for forming a polymer main body. Mixing or reaction can be carried out by stirring.

混合過程中,將液態材料(例如礦物油)與用於形成高分子主體的材料一起混合。在這種狀況下,可以注入惰性氣體,例如Ar,或者以預定的發泡劑取而代之。 In the mixing process, a liquid material such as mineral oil is mixed with a material for forming a polymer body. In this case, an inert gas such as Ar may be injected or replaced with a predetermined blowing agent.

混合之後的液態材料以及惰性氣體的量可以根據待形成的孔洞尺寸並根據其種類來調整。 The amount of the liquid material after mixing and the amount of the inert gas can be adjusted depending on the size of the pore to be formed and according to the kind thereof.

接著,執行膠化與硬化(S510)。也就是說,將混合物注入具有預定形狀的鑄模(cast)中,接著透過膠化與硬化使其固化。膠化在80℃至90℃執行5分鐘至30分鐘,而硬化在80℃至120℃執行20小時至24小時。然而,製程溫度與時間可以作各種變化,以提供最佳條件。 Next, gelation and hardening are performed (S510). That is, the mixture is injected into a cast having a predetermined shape, followed by solidification by gelation and hardening. The gelation is carried out at 80 ° C to 90 ° C for 5 minutes to 30 minutes, and the hardening is carried out at 80 ° C to 120 ° C for 20 hours to 24 hours. However, process temperatures and times can be varied to provide optimum conditions.

最後,處理硬化所得的具有預定形狀的結構(S520)。所得結構透過脫模(taking off the cast)、切割(cutting)、表面處理(surface treatment)與清潔(cleaning)而進行處理。首先,將硬化的所得結構從鑄模中取出,並切割成預定厚度和形狀。顯然,研磨層120可以使用任何方法形成為片狀,為了增加產率,例如可使用高分子片製造領域中已知的鑄造(casting)或擠出(extrusion)方法。在研磨層120的表面中可以形成各種形狀的溝槽,使研磨液13可以均勻地施予,遍布研磨層120的工作表面。 Finally, the structure having a predetermined shape obtained by the hardening is processed (S520). The resulting structure is taken off the cast, cutting, surface treatment (surface Treatment) and cleaning. First, the hardened resulting structure is taken out of the mold and cut into a predetermined thickness and shape. It is apparent that the abrasive layer 120 can be formed into a sheet shape by any method, and in order to increase the yield, for example, a casting or extrusion method known in the field of polymer sheet manufacturing can be used. Grooves of various shapes may be formed in the surface of the polishing layer 120 so that the polishing liquid 13 can be uniformly applied throughout the working surface of the polishing layer 120.

清潔製程執行以後,完成研磨層120。清潔製程期間,曝露於研磨層120的表面的內嵌的液態微量單元141流出,因此,開孔的微孔洞141’分布在研磨層表面160上。在此,可以使用液體清潔劑從研磨層表面160移除內嵌的液態微量單元141。 After the cleaning process is performed, the polishing layer 120 is completed. During the cleaning process, the embedded liquid micro-cells 141 exposed on the surface of the polishing layer 120 flow out, and thus, the micropores 141' of the openings are distributed on the surface 160 of the polishing layer. Here, the embedded liquid micro-unit 141 can be removed from the abrasive layer surface 160 using a liquid detergent.

研磨墊100可以只由研磨層120構成。然而,必要時,可以使用研磨墊100的製造領域中廣為人知的方法製造支持層110,並將其與研磨層120結合,以完成研磨墊100。 The polishing pad 100 may be composed only of the polishing layer 120. However, if necessary, the support layer 110 can be fabricated using a method well known in the art of fabricating the polishing pad 100 and bonded to the polishing layer 120 to complete the polishing pad 100.

透過對特定實驗例(experimental example)的解釋,將描述本發明的更多細節。以下所未描述的細節是因為它們可以為所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者從技術上推斷得知,因此省略。明顯地,本發明的範疇不限於以下實驗例。 Further details of the invention will be described by way of explanation of specific experimental examples. The details not described below are because they can be technically inferred from those having ordinary knowledge in the art, and thus are omitted. Obviously, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following experimental examples.

<實驗例1> <Experimental Example 1>

將50 kg的聚丁二醇(polytetramethylene glycol,分子量1000)、50 kg的聚乙二醇(polyethylene glycol,分子量1000)以及52 kg的二異氰酸甲苯(toluendiisocyanate)置入200 kg的反應器中,在70℃至80℃彼此反應4小時至5小時,使得最終產物的NCO含量為11.0%。製得的異氰酸酯預聚物(isocyanate prepolymer)的黏度 (viscosity)是6,900 cPs(25℃)。 50 kg of polytetramethylene glycol (molecular weight 1000), 50 kg of polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 1000) and 52 kg of toluendiisocyanate (toluendiisocyanate) were placed in a 200 kg reactor.

將硬化的混合物脫模,並切割硬化混合物的表面,以形成研磨墊的研磨層。 The hardened mixture is demolded and the surface of the hardened mixture is cut to form an abrasive layer of the polishing pad.

製得的研磨墊的研磨表現以及平坦化表現呈現於圖7(將根據本實施例的研磨墊稱為「混合孔(hybrid pore)1」)。 The polishing performance and the flattening performance of the obtained polishing pad are shown in Fig. 7 (the polishing pad according to the present embodiment is referred to as "hybrid pore 1").

<實驗例3> <Experimental Example 3>

100 kg的實驗例1製備的異氰酸酯預聚物、46 kg的礦物油(由Seojin Chemical Co.,Ltd.製造,以下稱為KF-70)以及33 kg的MOCA,在經5000 rpm的混合頭混合後,使用鑄造機射出。在此案例中,以20%的體積比率將惰性氣體(亦即Ar氣)置入混合頭中。 100 kg of the isocyanate prepolymer prepared in Experimental Example 1, 46 kg of mineral oil (manufactured by Seojin Chemical Co., Ltd., hereinafter referred to as KF-70), and 33 kg of MOCA were mixed at a mixing head of 5000 rpm. After that, use a casting machine to shoot. In this case, an inert gas (i.e., Ar gas) was placed in the mixing head at a volume ratio of 20%.

之後,立刻將混合物注入矩形模具中。接著執行膠化30分鐘,之後,在100℃的烘箱中執行硬化20小時。 Immediately thereafter, the mixture was poured into a rectangular mold. Gelation was then carried out for 30 minutes, after which hardening was carried out in an oven at 100 ° C for 20 hours.

將硬化的混合物脫模,並切割硬化混合物的表面,以形成研磨墊的研磨層。 The hardened mixture is demolded and the surface of the hardened mixture is cut to form an abrasive layer of the polishing pad.

圖6呈現研磨層的表面上形成的孔洞的掃描式電子顯微鏡(SEM)照片。 Figure 6 presents a scanning electron microscope (SEM) photograph of a hole formed on the surface of the abrasive layer.

圖7呈現製得的研磨墊的研磨表現以及平坦化表現(將根據本實施例的研磨墊稱為「混合孔2」)。圖7中的「固態膠囊孔洞」表示未如本發明一般使用不同種類的複合孔洞(亦即第一孔洞和第二孔洞),而是僅使用單一固態膠囊孔洞(此處,固態膠囊可以代表中空微粉末)的研磨墊,而圖7中的「液態微量單元孔洞」也表示未如本發明一般使用不同種類的複合孔洞(亦即第一孔洞和第二孔洞),而是僅包括單一液態微量單元的研磨墊。 Fig. 7 shows the polishing performance and the flattening performance of the obtained polishing pad (the polishing pad according to the present embodiment is referred to as "mixing hole 2"). The "solid-state capsule hole" in Fig. 7 indicates that different types of composite holes (i.e., the first hole and the second hole) are not generally used as in the present invention, but only a single solid capsule hole is used (here, the solid capsule may represent a hollow The polishing pad of the micropowder, and the "liquid microcell hole" in Fig. 7 also means that different types of composite holes (i.e., the first hole and the second hole) are not generally used as in the present invention, but only a single liquid trace is included. The polishing pad of the unit.

使用尺寸不同的複合孔洞時,尺寸較小的第一孔洞收集少量的研磨液粒子,從而得以執行精確的研磨,而尺寸較大的第二孔洞一次收集大量的研磨液粒子,從而得以以高研磨速度進行處理。 When using composite holes of different sizes, the smaller first hole collects a small amount of the grinding liquid particles, thereby performing precise grinding, while the larger second hole collects a large amount of the polishing liquid particles at a time, thereby enabling high grinding. Speed is processed.

就此方面而言,研磨墊的研磨層同時包含了不同種類的孔洞,因此可以執行更複雜的研磨工作。 In this respect, the abrasive layer of the polishing pad contains different kinds of holes at the same time, so that more complicated grinding work can be performed.

在前述實施例中形成兩種孔洞。然而,本發明的態樣如上所述不限於此。 Two holes are formed in the foregoing embodiment. However, the aspect of the invention is not limited to this as described above.

也就是說,根據本發明的研磨墊可包括由液態微量單元形成的孔洞、由固態膠囊形成的孔洞、由注入惰性氣體形成的孔洞以及由化學發泡劑形成的孔洞中的三種或更多種孔洞。孔洞的尺寸取決於其種類,且可如前所述,或可根據用以形成孔洞的材料的種類而改變,或可為了增加研磨效率而改變。 That is, the polishing pad according to the present invention may include three or more of a hole formed of a liquid micro cell, a hole formed of a solid capsule, a hole formed by injecting an inert gas, and a hole formed of a chemical foaming agent. Hole. The size of the holes depends on the kind thereof, and may be changed as described above, depending on the kind of material used to form the holes, or may be changed in order to increase the grinding efficiency.

具體地說,在形成孔洞的方法中,孔洞的尺寸可以由混合材 料的濃度或反應溫度來控制,且不同種類的孔洞不一定具有不同的尺寸。 Specifically, in the method of forming a hole, the size of the hole may be made of a mixed material The concentration of the material or the reaction temperature is controlled, and different types of pores do not necessarily have different sizes.

如前所述,根據本發明,控制多種(兩種)孔洞(而不是單一種孔洞),使得研磨液的收集和施予可以有效地執行,且可以達到更加出色的CMP研磨表現。這使得小型化半導體製程所需的更複雜的CMP製程得以實現。 As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of (two types) of holes (rather than a single type of holes) are controlled, so that the collection and application of the slurry can be efficiently performed, and a more excellent CMP polishing performance can be achieved. This enables a more complex CMP process required for miniaturized semiconductor processes.

雖然已經參考本發明的示範性實施例來具體呈現與描述本發明,所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者將理解,在不悖離如以下請求項所定義的本發明的範疇與精神的前提下,可以作出各種形式上或細節的變化。 While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art Various forms or details can be changed.
