GLSI多层铜布线CMP后BTA去除研究

本文通过静态腐蚀速率的方法分析确立了碱性清洗剂中FA/OⅡ型螯合剂和FA/OⅠ型表面活性剂对BTA的去除规律。通过单因素实验和复合清洗剂的实验优化，确定了去除BTA的清洗剂配方，并通过接触角实验进一步证实实验结果的有效性。最后，将优化后的清洗剂配方在实际生产线上做试验，结果表明能有效去除BTA、CuO晶粒及磨料SiO2,且基本无界面腐蚀。解决了一直难以解决的多层铜布线CMP后有效去除BTA的难题，且该清洗剂成分简单，成本低而且环保。

Benzotriazole removal on post-Cu CMP cleaning

This work investigates systematically the effect of FA/O II chelating agent and FA/O I surfactant in alkaline cleaning solutions on benzotriazole (BTA) removal during post-Cu CMP cleaning in GLSI under the condition of static etching. The best detergent formulation for BTA removal can be determined by optimization of the experiments of single factor and compound cleaning solution, which has been further confirmed experimentally by contact angle (CA) measurements. The resulting solution with the best formulation has been measured for the actual production line, and the results demonstrate that the obtained cleaning solution can effectively and efficiently remove BTA, CuO and abrasive SiO₂ without basically causing interfacial corrosion. This work demonstrates the possibility of developing a simple, low-cost and environmentally-friendly cleaning solution to effectively solve the issues of BTA removal on post-Cu CMP cleaning in a multi-layered copper wafer.
