Abstract

A slurry injection system (SIS) from Araca Inc. is installed on a single-platen, single-carrier, 300 mm polisher and evaluated for 14 nm deep-trench (DT) CMP process. A 40 % reduction in slurry flow rate with equivalent removal rates and improved within-wafer oxide uniformity are demonstrated. A 400-wafer marathon run with SIS at 40 % reduced slurry flow rate shows stable rates without degradation in within-wafer uniformity and defectivity.
