摘要


在半導體VLSI(Very Large Scale Integration)製程技術中,隨著晶圓尺寸及金屬層數目的增加,加上電晶體及金屬導線不斷地朝向細微化的發展,去除晶圓片表面凹凸之平坦化技術便呈現出其必要性。化學機械研磨(Chemical Mechanical Polishing)技術是現今各半導體廠所仰賴之全面性平坦化製程。化學機械研磨的原理主要是利用機械式研磨配合化學研磨液(Slurry),先行把晶片表面上沉積層突出部分氧化,形成軟化的氧化層後再加以平坦化,以提供下一層電路一個平坦的表面。其中需要相當多的因素相互搭配,也因此如何增進平坦化能力的各項製程因素成為達成全面性平坦化製程的重要課題。也更進一步的與良率的提升、產能的增加以及生產成本的降低息息相關。 由於淺溝絕緣層製程主要目的在於元件與元件間的隔絕,其平坦化的效果將決定後續製程的品質與產品的可靠度。本篇論文特別著重在探討提升改善淺溝絕緣層(STI,Shallow Trench Isolation)平坦化效果,並提出兩個影響淺溝絕緣層平坦化製程方法加以探討:一、增加洗邊製程以提升淺溝絕緣層平坦化製程對晶圓全面平坦化效果;二、改變淺溝絕緣層平坦化製程之化學機械研磨頭(Carrier)轉速對晶圓全面平坦化效果。最後比較所提出之兩種改善淺溝絕緣層平坦化製程方式對半導體廠的產能增進與良率提升的關係。

Along with the increment of the wafer size and the numbers of the metal layers, plus the transistors and the metal lines constantly diminished. The technology of semi-conductor VLSI manufacturing process, which does away with the rough and uneven body, presents its necessity. The CMP is a technique of the global planarization, and each factory of semi-conductor has depended on. It’s making use of the slurry for oxidizing the outstanding part of the dipping layer of the wafer surface first and then polishing the gate oxide by the carrier, thus it can provide a flat surface for the next layer. The CMP also needs a nice bit of factors to match mutually. Thus the factors of how to increase the flatness have become the top lesson to the global planarization. Further it has something to do with the raise of good rate, the increment of productivity and the cost down of production. The results will decide the quality of the follow-up process and the reliability of products since the STI‘s main purpose is to isolate from the cells. The objective of this thesis emphasizes at promoting and improving the global planarization of shallow trench isolation (STI) process and putting forward two methods takes into study: 1. Addition extreme edge HDP etch process to promote the global planarization. 2. Change the STI-CMP carrier speed without extreme edge HDP etch process and discuss the effects of the global planarization. Finally we compare the relation of these two methods with the produce and good rate of the factory of semi-conductor.
