  • Abstract
    We developed a damage-less electro-chemical mechanical planarization (e-CMP) method that does not use any contact electrodes with Cu wafers, but has anode-cells to maintain electric current for electrolysis reaction of H2O. A high removal rate of 1.4 um/min was obtained with an electro-polishing efficiency of 85%. Based on this technology, we propose a hybrid e-CMP/CMP process which combines a high speed e-CMP for removing bulk Cu film and a low-pressure CMP for clearing residual Cu and barrier metal films by using a newly developed hybrid slurry.
