Description
- This application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/455,448, filed Apr. 25, 2012, which application is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- The disclosure relates to conditioner disks used in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and the methods of manufacturing the same.
- Chemical mechanical polishing/planarization (CMP) is a key process of smoothing surface of semiconductor wafers through both chemical etching and physical abrasion. A semiconductor wafer is mounted onto a polishing head, which rotates during a CMP process. The rotating polishing head presses the semiconductor wafer against a rotating polishing pad. Slurry containing chemical etchants and colloid particles is applied onto the polishing pad. Irregularities on the surface are removed to result in planarization of the semiconductor wafer.
- In a CMP process, conditioner disks are used to prepare and maintain the surface of polishing pad. A conditioner disk removes the debris on the polishing pad surface and revives the polish pad surface to ensure a stable CMP process. A conditioner disk generally comprises abrasive particles fixed on a substrate. Non-uniformity of the surface of the conditioner disk can result in non-uniformity in smoothness of the resulting wafer. In addition, some abrasive particles might be dislodged and pulled out from the surface. Such dislodgement and pull-out cause further deterioration of the wafer surface uniformity.
- Meanwhile, the size of semiconductor wafers has increased to improve throughput and reduce cost per die. For example, in the transition from 300 mm to 450 mm wafer size, the wafer area increases by 125%. The uniformity in smoothness of the whole wafer becomes more difficult to maintain in the more-than-doubled-sized wafer.
- The present disclosure is best understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is emphasized that, according to common practice, the various features of the drawings are not necessarily to scale. On the contrary, the dimensions of the various features are arbitrarily expanded or reduced for clarity. Like numerals denote like features throughout specification and drawing.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart diagram illustrating an exemplary method for making a conditioner disk used in a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, in accordance with some embodiments. -
FIG. 2 is a cross section view of an exemplary substrate, in accordance with some embodiments. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a first layer of at least one first binder disposed over the exemplary substrate ofFIG. 2 , in accordance with some embodiments. -
FIG. 4 is a cross section view of an exemplary resulting restructure after a plurality of diamond particles are disposed at a plurality of locations on the first layer of binder ofFIG. 3 , in accordance with some embodiments. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary resulting structure after a second layer of at least one second binder is disposed over the resulting structure ofFIG. 4 , in accordance with some embodiments. - This description of the exemplary embodiments is intended to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings, which are to be considered part of the entire written description. In the description, relative terms such as “lower,” “upper,” “horizontal,” “vertical,”, “above,” “below,” “up,” “down,” “top” and “bottom” as well as derivative thereof (e.g., “horizontally,” “downwardly,” “upwardly,” etc.) should be construed to refer to the orientation as then described or as shown in the drawing under discussion. These relative terms are for convenience of description and do not require that the apparatus be constructed or operated in a particular orientation. Terms concerning attachments, coupling and the like, such as “connected” and “interconnected,” refer to a relationship wherein structures are secured or attached to one another either directly or indirectly through intervening structures, as well as both movable or rigid attachments or relationships, unless expressly described otherwise.
- In the conventional conditioner pads or disks used in a CMP process, the abrasive particles are generally fixed onto a substrate using an electroplated metal or a brazing alloy. Dislodgement and pull-out of the abrasive particles occur due to insufficient interfacial bonding between the abrasive particles and the substrate. More particularly, not all the abrasive particles on the conditioner disk surface are available as the working abrasive particles for contacting the surface of the polishing disk. A conditioner disk having strong bonding and high ratio of the working abrasive particles are desired.
- This disclosure provides a method for making a conditioner disk comprising diamond particles and the resulting conditioner disk, which is configured to provide a high working diamond ratio with good interfacial bonding during its use in a CMP process.
- In some embodiments, the method comprises applying a first layer of at least one binder over a substrate; disposing a plurality of diamond particles on the first layer of the at least one first binder at a plurality of locations; and fixing the plurality of diamond particles to the substrate by heating the substrate to a raised temperature and then cooling the substrate. In some embodiments, the method further comprises disposing a second layer of at least one second binder over the substrate after disposing and fixing the plurality of the particles on the substrate.
- This disclosure also provides a conditioner disk used in a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. The conditioner disk comprises a substrate; a first binder layer comprising at least one binder disposed over the substrate; and a plurality of diamond particles disposed on the first binder layer at a plurality of locations. In such a conditioner disk, the plurality of diamond particles are uniformly distributed over the substrate, and the conditioner disk is configured to provide a working diamond ratio higher than 50%. In some embodiments, the working diamond ratio is higher than 75%. In some embodiments, the working diamond ration is higher than 90%.
- For brevity, references to “diamond” in this disclosure will be understood to encompass any form of carbon selected from: conventional diamond as an allotrope of carbon, where the carbon atoms are arranged in a tetrahedron configuration as a variation of the face-centered cubic crystal structure; polycrystalline diamond (PCD), diamond-like carbon (DLC) having amorphous structure; and any combination or any variation of traditional diamond, polycrystalline diamond and DLC. References to “diamond particles” will be understood to encompass any diamond or DLC in any shape of a regular or irregular form, or combination thereof.
- References to “working diamond” in this disclosure will be understood to encompass the diamond particles fixed to the substrate and capable of contacting a working surface such as a polishing pad. Reference to the “working diamond ratio” in this disclosure will be understood as the ratio of the working diamond particles among all the diamond particles disposed over a substrate. In some embodiments, the working diamond ratio can be measured by determining the number of all the diamond particles disposed over the substrate, and determining the number of the available working diamond particles when the conditioner disk is pressed against a working surface or a flat surface as the control. The number of the available working diamond particles divided by the number of all the diamond particles is the working diamond ratio.

The patterned layer of thefirst binder 202 can be formed through masking the substrate followed by coating a binder, or through screen printing or direct printing a binder over the substrate. In some embodiments, thefirst binder layer 202 of a certain pattern is formed through a process of lithography such as photolithography. - The patterned
