Abstract

The present invention relates to a CMP slurry composition, for an organic film, for polishing an organic film and an organic film polishing method using same, the CMP slurry composition comprising: a polar solvent and/or a non-polar solvent; metal oxide abrasives; an oxidant; and a heterocyclic compound, wherein the heterocyclic compound, as a heteroatom, comprises one or two of oxygen (O) atom, sulfur (S) atom and nitrogen (N) atom and has carbon content of 50-95 atom %.

Claims (20)

1. A CMP slurry composition for organic films comprising:

at least one of a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent;

a metal oxide abrasive;

an oxidant; and

a heterocyclic compound, the heterocyclic compound having at least one and at most two heteroatoms selected from among oxygen (O), sulfur (S), and nitrogen (N), and being present in an amount of 0.001 wt % to 1 wt % in the CMP slurry composition,

wherein the heterocyclic compound does not include histidine,

wherein the oxidant and the heterocyclic compound are present in a weight ratio of 1:0.01 to 1:1, and

wherein the oxidant comprises at least one of a metal salt in a polyvalent oxidation state and a transition metal chelate.

2. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 , wherein the CMP slurry composition is capable of polishing an organic film having a carbon content of 50 atom % to 95 atom %, a film density of 0.5 g/cm 3 to 2.5 g/cm 3 and a hardness of 0.4 GPa or more.

3. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 2 , wherein the organic film has a film density of 1.0 g/cm 3 to 2.0 g/cm 3 and a hardness of 1.0 GPa or more.

4. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide abrasive comprises at least one of silica, alumina, ceria, titania, and zirconia.

5. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide abrasive is present in an amount of 0.01 wt % to 5 wt % in the CMP slurry composition.

6. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 , wherein the heterocyclic compound has a 5-membered ring structure or a 6-membered ring structure.

7. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidant is present in an amount of 0.001 wt % to 5 wt % in the CMP slurry composition.

8. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidant comprises the metal salt in a polyvalent oxidation state, and the metal salt in the polyvalent oxidation state comprises at least one of a eerie ammonium salt, a ferric nitrate, and a ferric chloride.

9. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 , wherein the organic film has an acid value of 0 mgKOH/g.

10. A method, comprising:

forming an organic film such that the organic film has a carbon content of 50 atm % to 95 atm %, a film density of 0.5 g/cm 3 to 2.5 g/cm 3 , and a hardness of 0.4 GPa or more; and

polishing the organic film using the CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 .

11. The CMP slurry composition for organic films according to claim 1 , wherein the heterocyclic compound is present in an amount of 0.001 wt % to 0.2 wt % in the CMP slurry composition.
