Abstract

This study explored the effect of different cerium oxide abrasive particle sizes in chemical mechanical planarization of 200 mm blanket plasma-enhanced tetraethylorthosilicate wafers. All polishing experiments were done with a polisher and tribometer capable of measuring shear force and down force in real-time. Coefficient of friction and removal rate were found to correlate well with the slurry median particle size distribution. Removal rate modeling based on particle size was explored to support the interpretation of the experimental results.
