[0003] 一般に CMPで使用する研磨液は、酸化剤および固体粒子力 なっており、必要に 応じて保護膜形成剤、酸化金属用溶解剤等が添加されている。固体粒子としては、 特許文献 1などに記載されているように数十 nm程度のシリカ、アルミナ、ジルコユア、 セリア等の微粒子が知られている。また酸化剤としては、特許文献 2などに記載され ているように、過酸化水素、硝酸鉄、フェリシアン化カリウム、過硫酸アンモ-ゥム等が 知られている。  [0003] In general, the polishing liquid used in CMP has an oxidizing agent and solid particle force, and a protective film forming agent, a metal oxide dissolving agent, and the like are added as necessary. As solid particles, fine particles such as silica, alumina, zirconium, and ceria of about several tens of nm are known as described in Patent Document 1 and the like. As the oxidizing agent, as described in Patent Document 2, hydrogen peroxide, iron nitrate, potassium ferricyanide, ammonium persulfate, and the like are known.

[0004] 生産性の向上の観点力 CMPによる銅の研磨速度の向上が求められており、従 来研磨速度を向上させる方法としては、酸化金属溶解剤を添加することが有効とされ る。固体砲粒によって削り取られた金属酸ィ匕物の粒を研磨液に溶解させることにより 固体砲粒による削り取りの効果が増加するためと考えられる。それ以外に添加されて V、る酸化剤の濃度を増加させることも知られて 、る。  [0004] Perspective of productivity improvement Improvement of the polishing rate of copper by CMP is required. Conventionally, as a method of improving the polishing rate, it is effective to add a metal oxide dissolving agent. This is thought to be due to the fact that the effect of scraping with solid barrels is increased by dissolving the particles of metal oxides scraped with solid barrels in the polishing liquid. It is also known to increase the concentration of other oxidizing agents by adding V.

[0005] また特許文献 3には、水に不溶な銅化合物と可溶な銅化合物を銅配線上に形成さ せること、特許文献 4にはアミノ酸を添加すること、特許文献 5には鉄 (III)化合物を含 ませることが記載されている。特許文献 6にはアルミニウム、チタン、クロム、鉄、コバ ルト、ニッケル、銅、亜鉛、ゲルマニウム、ジルコニウムなどの多価金属を含有させるこ とにより研磨速度を上げることができると記載されている。 [0005] In Patent Document 3, a water-insoluble copper compound and a soluble copper compound are formed on a copper wiring, Patent Document 4 adds an amino acid, and Patent Document 5 describes iron ( III) It describes that it contains compounds. Patent Document 6 describes aluminum, titanium, chromium, iron, edge It is described that the polishing rate can be increased by containing a polyvalent metal such as copper, nickel, copper, zinc, germanium and zirconium.

[0006] 一方、研磨速度を向上させてしまうと金属配線部の中央が皿のように窪むディッシ ング現象が生じ、平坦性を悪ィ匕させてしまうという問題点が生じている。それを防止す るために、通常は表面保護の作用を示すィ匕合物が添加される。これは、銅表面に緻 密な保護膜を形成することにより、酸化剤による銅のイオンィ匕を抑制し銅の研磨液中 への過剰な溶解を防止するためである。一般的にこの作用を示すィ匕合物としては、 ベンゾトリアゾール(BTA)をはじめとするキレート剤が知られている。これに関しては 、特許文献 7などに記載されている。  [0006] On the other hand, if the polishing rate is improved, a dishing phenomenon occurs in which the center of the metal wiring portion is depressed like a dish, resulting in a problem of poor flatness. In order to prevent this, compounds containing a surface protecting action are usually added. This is because a dense protective film is formed on the copper surface to suppress copper ionization caused by the oxidizing agent and prevent excessive dissolution of the copper in the polishing liquid. In general, chelating agents such as benzotriazole (BTA) are known as compounds that exhibit this action. This is described in Patent Document 7 and the like.

[0007] 一般的に、デイツシングの低減を目的に BTAをはじめとするキレート剤を添加する と研磨すべき部分にも保護皮膜が形成されるために研磨速度が極端に低下する。こ れを解決するために種々の添加剤が検討されている。たとえば、特許文献 8に記載さ れて 、るへテロポリ酸および有機高分子を含むものがある。このへテロポリ酸は溶解 速度が速いため、有機高分子化合物を入れて溶解速度を抑制し、デイツシングの発 生を防止している。この有機高分子としてポリビュルアルコール、ポリアクリルアミド、 ポリアクリル酸をはじめとするアタリレート、ポリビニルアセテート等のポリビュルエステ ル類、ポリアリルァミンなどが含まれている。  [0007] Generally, when a chelating agent such as BTA is added for the purpose of reducing dating, a protective film is also formed on a portion to be polished, so that the polishing rate is extremely reduced. In order to solve this, various additives have been studied. For example, as described in Patent Document 8, there is a substance containing a heteropolyacid and an organic polymer. Since this heteropoly acid has a high dissolution rate, an organic polymer compound is added to suppress the dissolution rate and prevent the occurrence of dating. Examples of the organic polymer include polybulal alcohol, polyacrylamide, polyacrylic acid such as polyacrylic acid, acrylate, polybutyl ester such as polyvinyl acetate, and polyallylamine.

[0008] また特許文献 4には、抑制剤とアミノ酸を併用する手法、特許文献 9には、アミノ酢 酸またはアミド硫酸と BTA等保護膜形成剤を使用するもの、特許文献 10には、カル ボキシル基を 1つ有する a ォキシ酸と保護膜形成剤のノ ンスをとる方法が記載さ れている。また、特許文献 11には、銅と水不溶性錯体を形成するへテロ環化合物( 第 1錯化剤)と銅と水難溶性ないし可溶性錯体を形成し、錯形成後 1個以上の配位 子を余らすヘテロ環化合物 (第 2錯化剤)を含むものが記載されて ヽる。  [0008] Patent Document 4 uses a method in which an inhibitor and an amino acid are used in combination. Patent Document 9 uses an aminoacetic acid or amidosulfuric acid and a protective film forming agent such as BTA. It describes a method for taking a non-oxy acid having a boxyl group and a protective film forming agent. In Patent Document 11, a heterocyclic compound (first complexing agent) that forms a water-insoluble complex with copper and copper forms a poorly water-soluble or soluble complex with copper, and one or more ligands are formed after complex formation. Those containing extra heterocyclic compounds (second complexing agents) are described.

発明が解決しょうとする課題  Problems to be solved by the invention

[0010] CMPにおいては、生産性向上のためには高速化が求められている。また、配線の 微細化および多層化のためには配線の平坦ィ匕が求められている。しかし、この両者 は上述したようにトレードオフの関係にあり、両立させることは極めて困難である。前 述したように、一般的にデイツシングの低減を目的に BTAをはじめとするキレート剤を 添加すると研磨すべき部分にも保護皮膜が形成されるために研磨速度が極端に低 下する。これを緩和するために溶解剤とキレート剤の量を調整して適正化を図ること も検討されているが、満足させる条件を見出すことは困難である。保護膜を取り除くた めに、研磨圧力を高めることも考えられるが、今後はポーラス型低誘電率絶縁膜が主 流となることを考慮すると、この方法は適切ではない。前述したような高速化と平坦ィ匕 を両立させるための添加剤、手法も種々検討されている力 性能、コスト、使い勝手 の良さ等、全ての条件を満足するものはまだ開発されていない。  [0010] In CMP, high speed is required to improve productivity. In addition, flatness of wiring is required for miniaturization and multilayering of wiring. However, both are in a trade-off relationship as described above, and it is extremely difficult to achieve both. As described above, generally, when a chelating agent such as BTA is added for the purpose of reducing dating, a protective film is also formed on the portion to be polished, so that the polishing rate is extremely reduced. In order to alleviate this, it has been studied to adjust the amount of the solubilizing agent and the chelating agent to optimize, but it is difficult to find a satisfactory condition. Although it may be possible to increase the polishing pressure to remove the protective film, this method is not appropriate in view of the fact that porous low dielectric constant insulating films will become the mainstream in the future. Various additives and methods for achieving both high speed and flatness as described above have been studied. Nothing has yet been developed that satisfies all conditions such as power performance, cost, and ease of use.

Contains a polymer having a carboxyl group, a polymer having a sulfone group, and nitrogen as a compound that inhibits the dissolution rate of copper in the / ヽ part (under no-load rotation), that is, where the copper is not in direct contact with the pad It has been found that it is at least one water-soluble polymer selected from polymers.

[0036] 上記水溶性高分子としてはいずれも使用することができるが、とくにイオン性の高分 子が好ましい。これらの濃度は、 0. 05〜10重量%が好ましぐ特に 0. 1〜1重量% が特に好ましぐ濃度の上限は後述のように共存させる銅の防鲭剤濃度によって左 右される。  [0036] Any water-soluble polymer can be used, but an ionic polymer is particularly preferable. These concentrations are preferably 0.05 to 10% by weight, particularly 0.1 to 1% by weight. The upper limit of the concentration is particularly preferred depending on the concentration of the copper antifungal agent as described below. .

[0037] 本発明において、重要な点は、(3 :銅防鲭剤)と (4 :水溶性高分子)の濃度バラン スである。これらの銅防鲭剤および水溶性高分子の作用は、無荷重回転下において はどちらも銅の溶解を抑制させるものである。しかし銅防鲭剤は荷重回転下において も溶解を抑制するのに対し (抑制効果は、荷重をかけることにより小さくなる)、水溶性 高分子は、荷重回転下においては銅の溶解を促進させる作用と、銅の溶解を抑制さ せる作用を持っために、それぞれの上記濃度範囲に調整されていること以外に、 (3) と (4)濃度比が制御されて 、ることが低デイツシングを達成させるための必要事項とな る。本発明においては(3)の化合物の濃度 (重量%)が、(4)の化合物濃度 (重量%) よりも大きいことが必要であることを見出した。(3)および (4)の濃度が上記濃度範囲 に入っていても、この関係内に濃度が制御されていなければ、低デイツシングを達成 することはできない。 [0037] In the present invention, an important point is the concentration balance between (3: copper antifungal agent) and (4: water-soluble polymer). The action of these copper antifungal agents and water-soluble polymers both suppress the dissolution of copper under no-load rotation. However, copper antifungal agents suppress dissolution even under load rotation (inhibition effect is reduced by applying a load), but water-soluble In addition to being adjusted to the above-mentioned concentration ranges in order to promote the dissolution of copper and to suppress the dissolution of copper under the rotation of the load, the polymer (3) and ( 4) Controlling the concentration ratio is necessary to achieve low date. In the present invention, it has been found that the concentration (wt%) of the compound (3) needs to be larger than the compound concentration (wt%) of (4). Even if the concentrations of (3) and (4) are within the above-mentioned concentration range, if the concentration is not controlled within this relationship, low dicing cannot be achieved.

Nothing is good. The reason for this is to avoid obstacles such as erosion caused by the barrel. In addition, in the polishing liquid 5 of the present invention, various additives can be added as necessary in addition to the four main components. For example, there are surfactants such as water-soluble monomers such as methanol and ethanol and potassium dodecylbenzenesulfonate.

[0039] 以下に、本発明の原理について説明する。前述したように平坦性を向上させるため には、荷重が力かっている部分 (荷重回転下)、すなわち銅がパッドと接触している部 分における銅の溶解速度を向上させるとともに、荷重がかかって!/、な 、部分 (無荷重 回転下)、すなわち銅がパッドと直接接触していない部分における銅の溶解速度を抑 制することが重要である。また、低荷重領域において、荷重の変動により溶解速度が 極端に変化しないことも重要な要因となる。  [0039] The principle of the present invention will be described below. As described above, in order to improve the flatness, the copper dissolution rate is improved at the portion where the load is applied (under load rotation), that is, the portion where the copper is in contact with the pad, and the load is applied. It is important to suppress the dissolution rate of copper in the part (under no-load rotation), ie where the copper is not in direct contact with the pad. Another important factor is that the dissolution rate does not change drastically due to load fluctuations in the low load region.

[0040] 図 1 (a)に示すように、基板表面に形成された溝を有する絶縁膜 1上に電気銅メツキ 2を施した場合、通常配線部に対応する部分が窪んだ形状 3を示す。研磨に際して 研磨液 5 (研磨液)をノズル 6から、パッド 4と銅膜 2の間に供給する。 CMPを実施して いる状態(図 1 (b) )においては、窪んでいる配線部分では銅 2とパッド 4は接触してお らず、配線部以外の部分においてはパッド 4と銅 2とが接触している。銅と接触してい る部分の研磨速度と接触していない部分における研磨速度が同じであれば、研磨後 の形状は研磨前の形状がそのまま保たれることになる。その一方、接触している部分 の研磨速度が、接触していない研磨速度よりも遅い場合は、図 1の(c)に示すように 配線部分の窪みの深さが研磨の進行と共に浅くなる。従って、このような特性を示す 研磨液が高速研磨と低デイツシングを両立させることが可能となる。ノ^ドと接触して V、な 、部分の銅の研磨速度が小さくても、パッドと接触して 、る部分の研磨速度が遅 い場合、銅の研磨残りを少なくするために研磨に時間を要し、その間にパッドと接触 して ヽな 、部分の銅の溶出が進行してしま ヽ低デイツシングを達成することができなく なる。 [0040] As shown in Fig. 1 (a), when the copper electroplating 2 is applied on the insulating film 1 having a groove formed on the substrate surface, a shape 3 in which a portion corresponding to the normal wiring portion is depressed is shown. . During polishing, a polishing liquid 5 (polishing liquid) is supplied from the nozzle 6 between the pad 4 and the copper film 2. In the state where CMP is performed (Fig. 1 (b)), the copper 2 and the pad 4 are not in contact with each other in the recessed wiring part, and the pad 4 and the copper 2 are not in the part other than the wiring part. In contact. If the polishing rate at the portion that is in contact with copper is the same as the polishing rate at the portion that is not in contact with the copper, the shape after polishing is maintained as it is before polishing. On the other hand, when the polishing rate at the contacted part is slower than the polishing rate at which the contacted part is not, the depth of the recess in the wiring part becomes shallow as the polishing progresses, as shown in FIG. Therefore, it shows such characteristics The polishing liquid can achieve both high-speed polishing and low dateing. Even if the polishing rate of the copper in the part V is low when it contacts the node, if the polishing rate of the part that is in contact with the pad is slow, it takes time to polish to reduce the copper polishing residue. In the meantime, contact with the pad will cause the copper elution of the part to proceed, and low dating cannot be achieved.

[0041] また、少しの荷重が力かった場合、溶解速度が急激に増加するような場合にぉ 、て は、すなわち、低荷重領域において銅の溶解速度の荷重依存性が大きい場合、研 磨終了近くのノリャが表面に出始めた段階において、荷重が少しでも力かると溶解 速度が急激に増加してしまうと、ノリャ金属はそのままで銅の溶解が急激に増加して しまう。そのために (荷重が力かって 、るところと荷重が力かって 、な 、部分の溶解度 の差が大きくても)、平坦性を出すことは困難となる。  [0041] Further, when a slight load is applied, or when the dissolution rate increases rapidly, in other words, when the load dependency of the dissolution rate of copper is large in the low load region, polishing is performed. At the stage where the near nora near the end begins to appear on the surface, if the load is applied even a little, if the dissolution rate increases rapidly, the dissolution of copper will increase rapidly while maintaining the nora metal. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve flatness (even if the load is strong and the load is strong, even if the difference in solubility between the parts is large).

[0042] そこで各種研磨液において、銅の溶解速度の荷重依存性を調べるために図 2 (a)、  [0042] In order to investigate the load dependence of the dissolution rate of copper in various polishing liquids, Fig. 2 (a),

(b)に示す装置を考案した。図において、(a)は装置の全体構成を示し、(b)は (a)の A部の拡大図である。銅の溶解速度は、交換電流密度として求めた。回転速度制御 機構 11を有するモータ 10に、銅電極 13を有する回転電極 19の回転軸 20を取り付 け、パッドに押し付ける。パッドに押し付ける荷重は秤 14を用いて測定し、銅電極 13 にかける荷重は秤の下に設置しているスタンド 17に固定したリンク機構 16を使用して 調整する。  The device shown in (b) was devised. In the figure, (a) shows the overall configuration of the apparatus, and (b) is an enlarged view of part A of (a). The dissolution rate of copper was determined as the exchange current density. The rotating shaft 20 of the rotating electrode 19 having the copper electrode 13 is attached to the motor 10 having the rotating speed control mechanism 11 and pressed against the pad. The load applied to the pad is measured using a scale 14, and the load applied to the copper electrode 13 is adjusted using a link mechanism 16 fixed to a stand 17 installed under the scale.

[0043] 銅の溶解速度は、回転させた状態で荷重有無の条件下 (無荷重回転下および荷 重回転下)で参照電極 15を用いて電気化学測定システム 12により測定した。測定は 、ターフェル測定により交換電流密度として求めた。ターフェルの関係式を用い、す なわち電位域を過電圧(浸漬電位からの電位差)が 70mV〜135mVの間で電流の 対数と電位が直線になるとして、その直線を外挿し浸漬電位と交わる点の電流値を 交換電流密度とした。  [0043] The dissolution rate of copper was measured by the electrochemical measurement system 12 using the reference electrode 15 under the condition of presence or absence of load (under no load rotation and under load rotation) in the rotated state. The measurement was obtained as an exchange current density by Tafel measurement. Using Tafel's relational expression, that is, the potential range is overvoltage (potential difference from immersion potential) between 70 mV and 135 mV, the logarithm of the current and the potential become a straight line. The current value was defined as the exchange current density.

[0044] 交換電流密度の測定は、市販の回転リングディスク電極のリング白金電極上に銅を 10〜20 mの厚さに電気メツキしたものを使用した(ディスクも同様に銅メツキを施し ているが、測定はリング電極のみを使用)。交換電流密度を測定する前に、一定時間 150gZcm2の荷重回転下で研磨を行った後、無荷重回転下および任意の荷重下を 付与した荷重回転下の条件でそれぞれ分極測定を実施した。回転速度は、実研磨 時の周速度とほぼ同じになるように、 2000rpmとした。電位の走査速度は 30mVZ minとし、浸漬電位よりアノード側に電位を走査させた。 [0044] For the measurement of the exchange current density, a commercially available rotating ring disc electrode with a ring platinum electrode on which copper was electroplated to a thickness of 10 to 20 m was used (the disc was similarly subjected to copper plating). However, only the ring electrode is used for measurement). Before measuring the exchange current density, after polishing with a load rotation of 150 gZcm 2 for a certain period of time, under no load rotation and under any load Polarization measurements were carried out under the applied load rotation conditions. The rotation speed was 2000 rpm so that it was almost the same as the peripheral speed during actual polishing. The scanning speed of the potential was 30 mVZ min, and the potential was scanned from the immersion potential to the anode side.

[0045] 本装置を用いて評価した結果、有機酸または無機酸、酸化剤が添加されて!ヽる場 合においては、銅防鲭剤を添加することにより、無荷重回転下および荷重回転下い ずれの場合においても、銅の溶解速度は低下することを見出した。しかし銅防鲭剤 の抑制効果は、荷重回転下では荷重の増加とともに低下する。これは、 BTAが銅上 に吸着しているために、機械的な力で剥ぎ取られているためと考えられる。  [0045] As a result of evaluation using this apparatus, when an organic acid or inorganic acid, and an oxidizing agent are added, a copper antifungal agent is added, so that no load rotation and no load rotation occur. In either case, the copper dissolution rate was found to decrease. However, the inhibitory effect of copper antifungal agents decreases with increasing load under load rotation. This is thought to be because BTA is adsorbed on copper and is peeled off by mechanical force.

[0046] また、本発明にお 、て、 CMP研磨液の構成成分の一つである水溶性高分子を添 加することにより、格段にデイツシング量を低減することが可能となる。この水溶性高 分子の働きとしては、荷重を印加して 、な 、無荷重回転下の場合は (銅がノ^ドと接 触していない場合に相当)、防鲭剤と同様に、添カ卩により銅の溶解を抑制する。しか し荷重回転下 (銅がノッドと接触している場合に相当)においては、銅がパッドと接触 している部分における銅の溶解速度を向上させることが明らかになった。このような働 きを有する水溶性高分子としてカルボキシル基を有する重合体、スルホン基を有する 重合体および窒素を含有する重合体から選ばれる少なくとも 1種の水溶性高分子が 有効であることを見出した。このような水溶性高分子のもう一つの特徴としては、荷重 無しの場合では、銅の溶解を抑制するものの、銅防鲭剤が共存している場合では、 銅防鲭剤による銅の溶解抑制効果を低下させてしまう働きも有することも明らかにな つた。このような特性が、なぜ水溶性高分子、とくにイオン性の高分子に現れるのか は明確ではない。  [0046] Further, in the present invention, the addition of a water-soluble polymer that is one of the components of the CMP polishing liquid makes it possible to significantly reduce the amount of dishing. The function of this water-soluble polymer is that when a load is applied and under no-load rotation (corresponding to the case where copper is not in contact with the node), as with the antifungal agent, The dissolution of copper is suppressed by the key. However, under load rotation (corresponding to the case where copper is in contact with the node), it has been found that the copper dissolution rate is improved at the part where copper is in contact with the pad. As a water-soluble polymer having such a function, it has been found that at least one water-soluble polymer selected from a polymer having a carboxyl group, a polymer having a sulfone group, and a polymer containing nitrogen is effective. It was. Another feature of such a water-soluble polymer is that it suppresses the dissolution of copper when there is no load, but suppresses the dissolution of copper by the copper antifungal agent when coexisting with the copper antifungal agent. It has also become clear that it has the effect of reducing the effect. It is not clear why such characteristics appear in water-soluble polymers, especially ionic polymers.

[0047] これらの特性から、水溶性高分子の濃度を上げ過ぎると、銅の溶解抑制剤の効果 を殺してしまい、結果的には銅の溶解量が低減できず、デイツシングを増大させること になる。その一方で、これらの特性が複雑に絡み合うために、水溶性高分子と銅の溶 解抑制剤の濃度バランスを適切に制御できると、デイツシングを抑制することが可能 であることがわかる。  [0047] From these characteristics, if the concentration of the water-soluble polymer is increased too much, the effect of the copper dissolution inhibitor is killed, and as a result, the amount of dissolved copper cannot be reduced, and the dating is increased. Become. On the other hand, since these characteristics are intertwined in a complicated manner, it can be seen that dating can be suppressed if the concentration balance between the water-soluble polymer and the copper dissolution inhibitor is appropriately controlled.

[0048] 本発明の CMP用研磨液は、高い CMP研磨速度とデイツシング抑制を両立させる ことが可能となり、信頼性の高い配線を形成させることが可能となる。 [0049] 以下、実施例により本発明を詳細に説明する。実施例 1〜14および比較例 1〜6に 関しては、以下の評価を実施した。 [0048] The CMP polishing liquid of the present invention makes it possible to achieve both a high CMP polishing rate and suppression of dicing, and to form a highly reliable wiring. [0049] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples. The following evaluations were performed for Examples 1 to 14 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6.

A polyurethane resin having closed cells was used as a polishing pad. The relative speed between the substrate and the polishing surface plate was set to 36 mZmin. Load, it was 300gZcm 2. The polishing rate during CMP was determined by converting the difference in film thickness of copper foil before and after CMP from the electrical resistance value. For the amount of dipping, a groove with a depth of 0.5 m is formed on the insulating film, and copper is embedded by a known sputtering method and electroplating method (Fig. La). The amount of reduction of the wiring metal part relative to the insulating part was calculated from the surface shape of the stripe pattern part in which the wiring metal part width of 100 m and the insulating part width of 100 m were alternately arranged using a step gauge.

Under no-load rotation, VTA suppresses copper dissolution, so the exchange current density of copper is small! /, Under load rotation with a kana load (lgZcm 2 ) applied, BTA easily desorbs from the copper force, so the exchange current density of copper increases rapidly as the applied load increases.

[0070] 本研磨液では、表 2に示すように研磨速度は良好であった力 デイツシングが大きく 規定値を満足しなカゝつた。  [0070] With this polishing liquid, as shown in Table 2, the polishing rate was good. The force dating was large and the specified value was not satisfied.

[0071] (実施例 13)  [Example 13]

銅溶解剤として実施例 1に使用したリンゴ酸の代わりに、シユウ酸を、酸化剤として 2 . 5Mの過酸化水素、防鲭剤 (保護膜形成剤)として 0. 2wt%のベンゾトリァゾール、 水溶性高分子として 0. 2wt%のポリアクリル酸力 成る研磨液を使用して CMPを実 施した。所定の ρΗ (ρΗ1. 8)になるように銅溶解剤の添加量が調整されている。実 施例 3と異なる点は、水溶性高分子の濃度が、防鲭剤の濃度より高い点である。この ような系にお ヽては表 2に示すように、わずかな荷重(lgZcm2)を印加することによ り、荷重回転下における銅の交換電流密度は急激に増加する。これは、水溶性高分 子が、荷重回転下においては銅の溶解を促進する効果を有するため、水溶性高分 子濃度が防鲭剤の濃度より相対的に高くなると、このようにわず力な荷重の印加で銅 の交換電流密度が増加するようになる。このような場合、研磨速度は良好であるが、 デイツシング量がやや大きくなる。 Instead of malic acid used in Example 1 as a copper solubilizer, oxalic acid, 2.5M hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent, 0.2wt% benzotriazole as an antifungal agent (protective film forming agent), CMP was performed using 0.2 wt% of a polyacrylic acid polishing solution as a water-soluble polymer. The addition amount of the copper solubilizer is adjusted so as to be a predetermined ρΗ (ρΗ1.8). The difference from Example 3 is that the concentration of the water-soluble polymer is higher than the concentration of the antifungal agent. In such a system, as shown in Table 2, when a slight load (lgZcm 2 ) is applied, the exchange current density of copper under load rotation increases rapidly. This is because the water-soluble polymer has the effect of promoting the dissolution of copper under load rotation, so that the concentration of the water-soluble polymer is relatively higher than the concentration of the antifungal agent. The exchange current density of copper increases when a strong load is applied. In such a case, the polishing rate is good, but the amount of dishing is slightly increased.

[0072] (実施例 14)  [Example 14]

銅溶解剤として実施例 1に使用したリンゴ酸の代わりに、リン酸を、酸化剤として 2. 5Mの過酸化水素、防鲭剤 (保護膜形成剤)として 0. 7wt%のベンゾトリァゾール、 水溶性高分子として 0. 7wt%のポリアクリル酸力 成る研磨液を使用して CMPを実 施した。所定の pH (pH2. 0)になるように銅溶解剤の添加量が調整されている。実 施例 4と異なる点は、水溶性高分子の濃度が、防鲭剤の濃度と同じであるという点で ある。このような系においては表 2に示すように、わずかな荷重(lgZcm2)を印加す ることにより、荷重回転下における銅の交換電流密度は急激に増加する。これは、水 溶性高分子が、荷重回転下においては銅の溶解を促進する効果を有するため、水 溶性高分子濃度が防鲭剤の濃度より相対的に高くなると、このようにわず力な荷重の 印加で銅の交換電流密度が増加するようになる。このような場合、研磨速度は良好で あるが、デイツシング量がやや大きくなる。 [0073] 表 1、表 2の実施例および比較例の交換電流密度の荷重依存性、およびそれを図 示した図 3に示されるように、デイツシング量が小さい実施例においては lOgZcm2ま での荷重域にぉ ヽては銅の交換電流密度はほとんど変化しな 、。 lOgZcm2を超え ると、銅の交換電流密度は急激に増加するようになる。それに対し、デイツシング量が 大き 、比較例の場合、荷重が 0にお 、て銅の交換電流密度が小さ!/、場合にぉ ヽても 、 lgZcm2と 、う僅かな荷重を印加すると急激に交換電流密度が上昇する。 Instead of malic acid used in Example 1 as a copper solubilizer, phosphoric acid, 2.5M hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant, 0.7 wt% benzotriazole as an antifungal agent (protective film forming agent), CMP was performed using a 0.7 wt% polyacrylic acid polishing solution as the water-soluble polymer. The amount of copper solubilizer added is adjusted to a predetermined pH (pH 2.0). The difference from Example 4 is that the concentration of the water-soluble polymer is the same as the concentration of the antifungal agent. In such a system, as shown in Table 2, when a slight load (lgZcm 2 ) is applied, the exchange current density of copper under load rotation increases rapidly. This is because the water-soluble polymer has an effect of promoting the dissolution of copper under a load rotation, so that if the water-soluble polymer concentration is relatively higher than the concentration of the antifungal agent, it is not so powerful. Application of load increases the exchange current density of copper. In such a case, the polishing rate is good, but the amount of dishing is slightly increased. [0073] The load dependence of the exchange current density in the examples and the comparative examples in Tables 1 and 2 and, as shown in Fig. 3 in which it is illustrated, in an example with a small amount of dying, up to lOgZcm 2 In the load range, the exchange current density of copper hardly changes. Beyond lOgZcm 2 , the exchange current density of copper increases rapidly. On the other hand, in the case of the comparative example, the amount of dating is large, the load is 0, the exchange current density of copper is small! /, Even in this case, lgZcm 2 is suddenly applied when a slight load is applied. The exchange current density increases.

低荷重域において銅の交換電流密度の変化率を小さくする組成は、(1)銅を溶解 させる作用があり、かつ銅と錯体を形成することが可能である有機酸または無機酸、(The composition that reduces the rate of change of the exchange current density of copper in the low load range is (1) an organic acid or inorganic acid that has the effect of dissolving copper and can form a complex with copper, (

[0076] 比較例 1および 2に示したように、銅の溶解剤が硝酸や塩酸のように銅と錯体を形 成しない酸の場合 (または生成定数の対数が小さい場合)、研磨速度は規定値を満 足しても、デイツシング量が大きくなる。銅イオンと塩酸イオンの生成定数の対数値は 、 0. 08である。比較例では特に示してはいないが、硫酸イオン(j8 1 : 2. 36)も同様 にデイツシングが大きい。また酢酸イオン(j8 1 : 1. 83、 j8 2 : 3. 09)では、デイツシン グがやや大きい△の評価であった。それよりもやや生成定数の対数値が大きい、リン 酸(j8 1 : 3. 2)やマレイン酸( 1 : 3. 90)では、デイツシングが小さくなり、評価は〇と なる。これらを考慮すると、すくなくとも生成定数の対数値が、 3以上は必要であるとい える。また、比較例 3および 4に示すように(1)から(3)の構成成分が入っていても、銅 溶解剤の添加量が少なく pHが 2. 50より大きい場合、研磨速度も規定値より遅ぐデ イツシング量も大きくなる。比較例 6に示すように、銅防鲭剤が添加されていない場合 は、研磨速度は速くなるが、デイツシング量も大きくなる。実施例 13、 14に示すように 、(1)から(3)の構成成分が入っており、かつ pHが 2. 0以上であっても、水溶性高分 子の濃度が、防鲭財の濃度より高い場合、研磨速度は満足しても、デイツシング量は やや大きくなる。これらの関係を図示すると、図 4のようになり、ある比以上の領域にお V、て高平坦性を得ることができる。 [0076] As shown in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, when the copper solubilizer is an acid that does not form a complex with copper, such as nitric acid or hydrochloric acid (or when the logarithm of the formation constant is small), the polishing rate is specified. Even if the value is satisfied, the amount of date increases. The logarithmic value of the formation constant of copper ion and hydrochloric acid ion is 0.08. Although not specifically shown in the comparative example, the sulfate ion (j8 1: 2.36) has a large dating as well. Acetic acid ions (j8 1: 1.83, j8 2: 3.09) were evaluated as △ with slightly large datesing. The phosphoric acid (j8 1: 3. 2) and maleic acid (1: 3.90), which have a slightly larger logarithm of the production constant than that, have less dating and are evaluated as ◯. Considering these, at least the logarithm of the generation constant must be 3 or more. In addition, as shown in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, even if the components (1) to (3) are contained, if the amount of copper solubilizer added is small and the pH is greater than 2.50, the polishing rate is also below the specified value. The amount of slow desiccation increases. As shown in Comparative Example 6, when no copper antifungal agent is added, the polishing rate is increased, but the amount of dishing is also increased. As shown in Examples 13 and 14, even when the components (1) to (3) are contained and the pH is 2.0 or more, the concentration of the water-soluble polymer is If it is higher than the concentration, the amount of dishing will be slightly higher even if the polishing rate is satisfactory. These relationships are illustrated in FIG. 4, and high flatness can be obtained in a region above a certain ratio.
