Abstract

The role of oxidants, complexing agents, and inhibitors in copper surface modification during Cu-chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process was studied using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The changes in the Cu surface chemistry in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, glycine, and benzotriazole (BTA) were investigated, with a special attention to the effect of pH, Cu-glycine-, and Cu-BTA-complex formations. The present investigation corroborates the earlier reported results of an increased copper dissolution in solution containing glycine and hydrogen peroxide, and a decreased removal rate of copper in the presence of benzotriazole due to the formation of a Cu-BTA polymeric film.
