Abstract
Description
酸化剤は研磨対象物の表面を酸化する作用を有し、研磨用組成物中に酸化剤を加えた場合には、研磨用組成物による研磨速度が向上する有利がある。
水溶液中において酸化剤との共存下でpHを低下させるpH低下物質は、界面活性剤、水溶性高分子、アミン化合物、金属防食剤および有機溶剤のうち、以下の条件を満たす物質である。すなわち、0.05重量%の界面活性剤または水溶性高分子、あるいは5mmol/Lのアミン化合物、金属防食剤または有機溶剤を含有した水溶液を用意し、水酸化カリウムまたは硫酸をpH調節剤として添加して水溶液のpHを約7.5に調整する。そして、この水溶液100gに対して31重量%過酸化水素水を10.32g、すなわち過酸化水素3.2gを添加した直後の水溶液のpHと、過酸化水素を添加してから常温(23℃~27℃)で8日間静置保管した後の水溶液のpHとを比較する。このときのpHの差が絶対値で0.5以上であるというのがその条件である。
pH緩衝剤は、研磨用組成物100gに対して31重量%過酸化水素水を5.16g、すなわち過酸化水素1.6gを添加した直後の研磨用組成物のpHと、過酸化水素水を添加してから8日後の研磨用組成物のpHとの差を絶対値で0.5以下とするべく研磨用組成物中に配合されている。このpHの差が絶対値で0.5以下であれば、研磨用組成物の研磨性能の経時的な低下を実用的に問題ない程度にまで抑えることができ、安定性に優れた研磨用組成物を提供できる。
研磨用組成物のpHは、3以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは5以上であり、さらに好ましくは6以上である。pHが大きくなるにつれて、研磨用組成物による研磨対象物表面の過剰なエッチングが起こりにくくなる有利がある。
研磨用組成物は、酸化剤、pH低下物質、およびpH緩衝剤に加えて、それらに分類されない研磨促進剤をさらに含有してもよい。研磨促進剤は、研磨対象物の表面を化学的にエッチングする作用を有し、研磨用組成物による研磨速度を向上させる働きをする。
研磨用組成物は、酸化剤、pH低下物質、およびpH緩衝剤に加えて、それらに分類されない界面活性剤をさらに含有してもよい。研磨用組成物中に界面活性剤を加えた場合には、研磨用組成物を用いた研磨により形成される配線の脇に凹みが生じにくくなるのに加え、研磨用組成物を用いて研磨した後の研磨対象物の表面にディッシングが生じにくくなる有利がある。
研磨用組成物は、酸化剤、pH低下物質、およびpH緩衝剤に加えて、それらに分類されない金属防食剤をさらに含有してもよい。研磨用組成物中に金属防食剤を加えた場合には、界面活性剤を加えた場合と同様、研磨用組成物を用いた研磨により形成される配線の脇に凹みが生じにくくなるのに加え、研磨用組成物を用いて研磨した後の研磨対象物の表面にディッシングが生じにくくなる有利がある。また、金属防食剤は、研磨用組成物中に酸化剤が含まれている場合には、酸化剤による研磨対象物表面の酸化を緩和するとともに、酸化剤による研磨対象物表面の金属の酸化により生じる金属イオンと反応して不溶性の錯体を生成する働きをする。この金属防食剤の働きは、研磨用組成物を用いて研磨した後の研磨対象物の表面の平坦性を向上させる。
研磨用組成物は、酸化剤、pH低下物質、およびpH緩衝剤に加えて、それらに分類されない水溶性高分子をさらに含有してもよい。研磨用組成物中に水溶性高分子を加えた場合には、砥粒の表面または研磨対象物の表面に水溶性高分子が吸着することにより研磨用組成物による研磨速度をコントロールすることが可能であることに加え、研磨中に生じる不溶性の成分を研磨用組成物中で安定化することができる有利がある。
砥粒は研磨対象物を機械的に研磨する作用を有し、研磨用組成物中に砥粒を加えた場合には、研磨用組成物による研磨速度が向上する有利がある。
pH制御剤は、水溶液中において酸化剤との共存下で塩基性物質を発生する化合物として定義される。第2の実施形態の研磨用組成物によれば、pH低下物質とpH制御剤とを含有することにより、研磨用組成物のpHが経時的に変化するのを抑制することができる。そのため、研磨用組成物の研磨性能の経時的な低下を実用的に問題ない程度にまで抑えることができ、安定性に優れた研磨用組成物を提供できる。
