Method for chemical mechanical polishing a semiconductor device using slurry

Conductive plugs (28) are formed in a semiconductor device (10) using a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. A blanket conductive layer (26), for example of tungsten, is deposited in a plug opening (24). The conductive layer is polished back by CMP using a slurry comprised of either copper s...

Zusammenfassung:Conductive plugs (28) are formed in a semiconductor device (10) using a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. A blanket conductive layer (26), for example of tungsten, is deposited in a plug opening (24). The conductive layer is polished back by CMP using a slurry comprised of either copper sulfate (CuSO4) or copper perchlorate [Cu(ClO4)2] and an abrasive, such as alumina or silica, and water. In another embodiment, a CMP process using such slurries may be used to form conductive interconnects (50) in a semiconductor device (40).
