Abstract

Abrasive-free Cu CMP solutions have been developed to reduce micro-scratches and obtain minimized dishing and erosion properties. During the development of the solutions, some electrochemical examinations were performed. One of the most instructive knowledge was obtained through the Tafel plot. Other attractive data were obtained through Cu complex film analysis. On the basis of these studies were developed and released newly formulated abrasive-free Cu CMP solutions with a high Cu removal rate and excellent topography performance. Mechanism of polishing by applying abrasive-free Cu CMP solutions is also discussed in this paper.
