在半導體製程中,化學機械研磨(Chemical mechanical Polishing,簡稱CMP)對於提高晶圓表面的平坦度是一項很重要的程序。為了有效的控制材料移除率,本論文將使用其可減少電腦記憶體的資源運用且在短時間內求解軸對稱問題;邊界元素法,來建立化學機械研磨之二維軸對稱準靜態模型。並且分析化學機械研磨的過程中,晶圓與研磨墊之間的von Mises 應力分佈與材料移除率的關係,探討引起晶圓表面不均勻度(Non-Uniformity)的原因。藉由改變研磨墊的厚度和彈性模數與施加在晶圓背面之壓力,觀察其對於表面應力與不均勻度所受到的影響,並討論晶圓表面各方向的應力變化。
Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is important in improving planarization and materials remove ratio of wafer in semiconductor manufacturing. We used a method, boundary element method (BEM), can reduce computer memory and computing time to simulate the CMP process. This study will build a 2-D axisymmetric quasi-static model for chemical mechanical polishing process. The analysis of von Mises stress on the wafer-pad interface was solved by BEM. The effects of thickness, elastic modulus, down force on the non-uniformity of wafer were investigated. The variation of various stress distribution on the wafer were also discussed.
