摘要

As every manufacturing step is driven by the desire to achieve he lowest cost and the removal of non-value-added operations, direct polishing therefore becomes one of the attractive options for shallow trench isolation (STI) chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). Nitride thickness becomes more critical for gapfill in STI process due to high aspect ratio result from narrow and deep trench as features sizes become smaller and denser. In this paper it is reported the excellent planarization performance of direct STI-CMP process with ceria based high selectivity slurry (HSS) for 90 nm devices. It has achieved much better performance in nitride and trench oxide within wafer, within die uniformity, dishing in wide and narrow trench, isolated structure protection, over-polishing resistance and process control capability, compared to reverse mask process with conventional silica based slurry. The improved performance in STI elevation variation and E-test results is presented in this paper as well. To save the cost of ceria based slurry it is developed a dual slurry process, which uses low cost silica based slurry for first step bulk polishing and expensive ceria based slurry for second step. Compared to ceria based HSS only process, the cost of consumables can be reduced by 30% and the similar good performance can be achieved.
