Popis: In this paper, a silicon CMP process has been developed inside semiconductor fabrication to reclaim bare silicon wafers for cost and time reductions. Firstly, the high level defect after CMP was encountered and mainly particle; after related polishing and cleaning processes were optimized, the defect count was much reduced but still higher than the specification; finally, the defect count was dramatically decreased and met the specification by adding a surfactant (TMAH) in polishing. The effect of surfactant on defect reduction is also discussed in this paper.
