Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a pad conditioner for dressing or conditioning a CMP pad and a method of making such a pad conditioner, and more particularly to a pad conditioner for conditioning a CMP pad and a method of making such a pad conditioner wherein abrasive particles are evenly distributed on the pad conditioner and securely fixed on a substrate.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In current semiconductor manufacturing processes, as the manufacturing technology advances, the line width and die size become smaller, and interconnections more concentrated and need to be stacked into more layers. Thus the planarization of the wafer becomes important, and Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is the key technology that provides global planarization.
- In CMP, a silicon wafer is held by a rotating or moving polishing head and pressed on a rotating polishing pad, and slurry is injected onto the polishing pad. Besides the micro abrasive particles, the slurry also contains acid solution or alkaline solution that is chosen based on the material to be polished. For example, since most dielectric materials are oxides, the selected slurry is usually alkaline solution, and if the metal materials such as tungsten or copper are to be polished, the selected slurry is often acid solution. The polishing pads are commonly made from polyurethane resin and the polishing pad has a rough surface with via holes.
- The top of polishing pad holds the abrasive particles, usually by a means such as fibers. It is very important to keep the top as flexible as possible to provide necessary friction for holding particles. Therefore, although the majority of debris coming from the polishing of silicon wafers, slurry particles and conditioning disk is washed away by water during the CMP process, a small amount of debris still accumulates in the via holes of the polishing pad, causing the polishing pad surface to glaze or harden, which makes the pad less able to hold the slurry particles. Thus the removal rate of polishing is decreased, which causes instability in the CMP process and fast wear-out of the polishing pad.
- Hence, a pad conditioner that is capable of removing the debris on the polishing pad surface and reviving the polishing pad is needed so that the process remains stable. Moreover, the pad conditioner must also be capable of distributing the slurry uniformly on the polishing pad so that the process is more stable.
- There are two most common types of conventional pad conditioners: electroplated pad conditioner and alloy-brazed pad conditioner. The abrasive particles of the electroplated pad conditioner are fixed on its substrate by way of electroplating nickel, but the bonding force of such mechanical locking method is poor and the abrasive particles tend to be dislodged easily and may scratch the wafer being polished. Furthermore, the electroplated layer must cover more than half of each abrasive particle in order to engage the abrasive particles to the substrate, therefore the protrusion level of the abrasive particles is limited, and thus the polishing pad cannot be effectively conditioned and the via holes are stuffed with the debris. Therefore, the current CMP process uses less of the electroplated pad conditioner.
- On the other hand, abrasive particles of alloy-brazed pad conditioner are fixed on its substrate by way of alloy brazing, and the bonding force of such chemical locking method is better, and the abrasive particles are harder to dislodge than when the electroplated pad conditioner is used. However, there are some disadvantages, one of them being uneven distribution of particles on the substrate, which may result from the unevenness of spacing between abrasive particles or the unevenness of the level of height where the abrasive particles exist. Both of the unevenness causes the abrasive particles to apply uneven forces to the polishing pad, which in turn will cause the abrasive particles that bear bigger force to be wholly dislodged or partly chipped easily, thereby leading to scratching of the wafers. In addition, if the spacing between the distributed abrasive particles is too close, the debris would accumulate easily, and the work efficiency of the pad conditioner would be reduced. Besides, an excessive amount of accumulated debris will easily scratch the wafer once they fall off. Thus, different kinds of alloy-brazed pad conditioners have been provided to improve the aforementioned problem.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,368,198 discloses a pad dresser and a method of making such a pad dresser. As shown in
FIG. 1 ,abrasive particles 3 are affixed to a substrate 1 via a brazingalloy sheet 2, and the reason that theabrasive particles 3 can be evenly distributed is due to a template with apertures (not shown) that was used to place the abrasive particles on the brazingalloy sheet 2 before brazing. Moreover, an anti-corrosive layer of diamond-like carbon (DLC) 5 can be added thereon by physical vapor deposition. However, the brazing alloy is molten and flows freely in the high temperature vacuum furnace. Therefore, the pre-placed abrasive particles could be displaced by the brazing liquid such that neighboring particles touch each other. The bonding force is decreased due to such clustering of abrasive particles. The dislodging of abrasive particles would still occur at times. - Therefore, a CMP pad conditioner with evenly distributed and firmly fixed abrasive particles on its substrate is urgently needed in semiconductor manufacturing technology.
- An object of the invention is to provide a pad conditioner for evenly conditioning a CMP pad, and a method of making such a pad conditioner.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a pad conditioner for conditioning a CMP pad, wherein abrasive particles are securely fixed on the substrate, and a method for making such a pad conditioner.

- The invention provides a pad conditioner for conditioning a CMP pad, including: a substrate having a plurality of cavities thereon; a bonding agent filling the plurality of cavities; and a plurality of abrasive particles fixed in the plurality of cavities by the bonding agent. Preferably, the cavities are arranged in a regular manner and the size of each cavity is such that only one abrasive particle can be accommodated. The cavities are preferred to be bowl-shaped. The bonding agent affixes the plurality of abrasive particles to the plurality of cavities by way of brazing.
- The aforementioned pad conditioner for conditioning a CMP pad further includes a lubricating layer; the lubricating layer is made of parylene, tungsten carbide/carbon film (WC/C), diamond film, or diamond-like carbon film (DLC). The lubricating layer can enhance the speed of debris removal, reduce the accumulation of debris, and shorten the conditioning time.
- Moreover, the invention provides a method of making a pad conditioning for conditioning a CMP pad, including: providing a substrate; forming a plurality of cavities on the substrate; filling a bonding agent in the plurality of cavities; placing a plurality of abrasive particles in the bonding agent; and securely fixing the plurality of abrasive particles on the substrate by using the bonding agent. The cavities are regularly arranged and each cavity is sized such that preferably it can only accommodate one abrasive particle. The cavities are preferably bowl-shaped.

- The aforementioned method of making such a pad conditioner further includes: forming a lubricating layer on the substrate, the bonding agent and the plurality of abrasive particles. The lubricating layer is made of parylene, WC/C, diamond film, or DLC.
- Through the invention, the efficiency and uniformity of the pad conditioner are improved, and the life of the polishing pad is extended.
