摘要: Abstract During the process of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) copper interconnection in ultra large scale integration (ULSI), passivation plays a critical role material removal. The kinetics glycine solutions containing BTA was studied by chronoamperometry technique. results showed that current density transients followed with double-exponential decay, including both non-faradaic double layer charging and faradaic reaction effects. Furthermore, model based on proposed for low-pressure CMP. Combining experimental results, removal mechanism analyzed. effect dominated at pH 4, while it dominant 10.
