Abstract

A CMP slurry for metallic film is provided, which includes water, 0.01 to 0.3 wt %, based on a total quantity of the slurry, of polyvinylpyrrolidone having a weight average molecular weight of not less than 20,000, an oxidizing agent, a protective film-forming agent containing a first complexing agent for forming a water-insoluble complex and a second complexing agent for forming a water-soluble complex, and colloidal silica having a primary particle diameter ranging from 5 to 50 nm.

Claims (27)

1. A polishing method comprising:

contacting a semiconductor substrate having a metallic film with a polishing pad attached to a turntable; and

supplying a metallic film-CMP slurry having a viscosity of less than 2 mPa·sec onto the polishing pad to polish the metallic film, the metallic film-CMP slurry comprising:

water;

0.01 to 0.3 wt %, based on a total quantity of the slurry, of polyvinylpyrrolidone having a weight average molecular weight of not less than 40,000;

an oxidizing agent;

a protective film-forming agent containing a first complexing agent for forming a water-insoluble complex and a second complexing agent for forming a water-soluble complex, the first complexing agent containing quinaldinic acid, quinolinic acid, and alkylbenzene sulfonate; and

colloidal silica having a primary particle diameter ranging from 5 to 50 nm.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic film is formed with a wiring metal and the polyvinylpyrrolidone is incorporated in the slurry at a range of 0.03 to 0.3 wt % based on a total quantity of the CMP slurry.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic film is formed with a barrier metal and the polyvinylpyrrolidone is incorporated in the slurry at a range of 0.01 to 0.1 wt % based on a total quantity of the CMP slurry.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the alkylbenzene sulfonate is selected from a group consisting of potassium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and ammonium dodecylbenzene sulfonate.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metallic film is a Cu film.

6. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:

forming an insulating film above a semiconductor substrate;

forming a recess in the insulating film;

depositing a metal inside the recess as well as above the insulating film to form a metallic film; and

removing at least part of the metal which is deposited above the insulating film by CMP using a metallic film-CMP slurry having a viscosity of less than 2 mPa·sec, the metallic film-CMP slurry comprising:

water;

0.01 to 0.3 wt %, based on a total quantity of the slurry, of polyvinylpyrrolidone having a weight average molecular weight of not less than 40,000;

an oxidizing agent;

a protective film-forming agent containing a first complexing agent for forming a water-insoluble complex and a second complexing agent for forming a water-soluble complex, the first complexing agent containing quinaldinic acid, quinolinic acid, and alkylbenzene sulfonate; and

colloidal silica having a primary particle diameter ranging from 5 to 50 nm.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the forming the metallic film is performed by forming a barrier metal above the insulating film and forming a wiring metal on the barrier metal.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the metal to be removed by the CMP is the wiring metal, and the polyvinylpyrrolidone is incorporated in the slurry at a range of 0.03 to 0.3 wt % based on a total quantity of the CMP slurry.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the metal to be removed by the CMP is the barrier metal, and the polyvinylpyrrolidone is incorporated in the slurry at a range of 0.01 to 0.1 wt % based on a total quantity of the CMP slurry.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the alkylbenzene sulfonate is selected from a group consisting of potassium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and ammonium dodecylbenzene sulfonate.

11. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the metallic film is a Cu film.
