Title:
超過研磨時間および/または最終研磨工程の研磨時間を計算することによって、基板の化学機械研磨(CMP)を制御する方法およびシステム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4740540
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A method and a controller for the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of substrates and, in particular, for the chemical mechanical polishing of metallization layers is disclosed. In a linear model of the CMP process, the erosion of the metallization layer to be treated is determined by the overpolish time and possibly by an extra polish time on a separate polishing platen for polishing the dielectric layer, wherein the CMP inherent characteristics are represented by sensitivity parameters derived empirically. Moreover, the control operation is designed so that even with a certain inaccuracy of the sensitivity parameters due to subtle process variations, a reasonable controller response is obtained.
