New CMP steps are required to define the structures for new integration schemes for high-k metal gate and FinFET. The performance and yield of these new devices directly depend on CMP control of film thickness variation. As a consequence, CMP require

Through-silicon via (TSV), an emerging technology for 3D IC manufacturing, involves fabrication of vertical vias through the wafers. The two methods commonly used involve "via-first" and "via-last" process flows. While the via-last approach appears t

In this paper, we discuss CMP technology for Cu interconnects with a Co seed enhancement liner (SEL) and Cu with a Ru barrier. Typical forms of galvanic corrosion for each type of barrier are also reviewed. To meet CMP performance requirements, speci

Because the gate height is critical to transistor performance, controlling gate height precisely and uniformly is the primary challenge for the replacement metal gate aluminum CMP process. A real-time profile control (RTPC) method was combined with a

Since the CMP process depends on chemical and mechanical effects, the interaction with the physical and chemical properties of the GST alloy play very important roles during the CMP process. In this paper, the impact of the CMP process on a soft GST

The requirements for copper post-CMP cleaning include slurry particle removal, organic residue removal, metal contamination reduction, water mark elimination, copper corrosion prevention, and low-k surface change minimization. The difficulty in meeti

For the gate last approach of a high K metal gate scheme used in advanced CMOS technology, various materials were tested as wetting layers to allow Aluminum (Al) gap fill at gate widths of10 to 45 nanometers. In this study, Titanium (Ti) and Cobalt (

The extension of Moore's Law at the 45/32nm nodes is made possible by the introduction of high-k metal gate. In the gate-last scheme to integrate high-k metal gate, planarization and surface topography control have been reported as some of the bigges

Metal clearing in chemical mechanical polishing was conducted using a fixed polishing recipe, with polish pressures tuned based upon blanket metal film’s bulk removal uniformity. A fixed recipe cannot count for incoming film’s non-uniformity, pat
