摘要

Shallow trench isolation (STI) process has been used widely for deep-0.25μm technologies. Shallow trench isolation chemical mechanical polishing (STI CMP) is a critical part of the process module. Global planarization is an advantage for STI CMP; however, there is a significant challenge in STI CMP - defect reduction. One major type of defect associated with STI CMP is micro-scratching. Several process parameters have been flexed to identify the potential causes of the micro-scratch. A systematic baseline study of the slurry distribution system has been performed. Due to slurry agglomeration, large particles were found in the slurry before reaching the polisher. A thorough study of slurry filtration was conducted. A significant reduction in overall defect counts and number of micro-scratches was observed for the tool with Solaris?point-of-use (POU) filtration installed. Two stages slurry filtration, in the recirculation loop and POU, was online. Process parameter monitoring was used to extend the lifetime of the POU filter. A discussion for improving the lifetime of the POU filter is presented in the paper. As a result, the lifetime of the POU filter was increased 200% ~ 300%.
