电压和电极间距对BDD电极电化学氧化效率的影响

掺硼金刚石(BDD)薄膜电极具有很宽的电势窗口、很小的背景电流、很高的电化学稳定性、其电化学响应在很长时间内保持稳定以及耐腐蚀等优点。采用热丝化学气相沉积(HFCVD)方法制备掺硼金刚石薄膜,并用金相显微镜、原子力显微镜(AFM)、X射线衍射(XRD)这三种测试方式进行表征。BDD薄膜电极在电解过程中消耗很多能量。从提高氧化效率来降低能耗的角度出发,研究了电压及电极间距对BDD薄膜电极电化学氧化效率的影响。通过实验得出电压在5~13 V时电化学氧化效率会随着电压的升高而升高;电极间距在0.5~4 cm时电化学氧化效率随着电极间距的增大而降低。

化学机械抛光(CMP)过程中苯并三氮唑(BTA)与金属铜反应生成表面难溶、难以去除的Cu-BTA钝化膜,是抛光后清洗过程中主要去除的对象。采用自主研发的FA/OⅡ型碱性螯合剂作为清洗液的主要成分,并对清洗过程中有效去除Cu-BTA的螯合剂体积分数进行了研究。通过Cu-BTA膜厚生长实验,确定Cu-BTA的生长方式。根据BTA在不同FA/O型螯合剂中溶解度对比实验,确定FA/OⅡ型螯合剂为清洗液的主要成分。通过大量实验得到,FA/OⅡ型螯合剂体积分数为0.007 5%~0.015%时,能有效去除Cu-BTA钝化膜及表面其他残留物,接触角下降到29°,表面粗糙度得到改善约为3.91 nm。此外,静态腐蚀速率实验进一步验证接触角的测试结果,确定有效去除Cu-BTA的螯合剂体积分数。

基于SiO2溶胶的稳定性的Cu/SiO2催化体系在化学机械抛光中的应用研究

There is a lot ofhydroxyl on the surface ofnano SiO2 sol used as an abrasive in the chemical mechanical planarization （CMP） process, and the chemical reaction activity of the hydroxyl is very strong due to the nano effect. In addition to providing a mechanical polishing effect, SiO2 sol is also directly involved in the chemical reaction. The stability of SiO2 sol was characterized through particle size distribution, zeta potential, viscosity, surface charge and other parameters in order to ensure that the chemical reaction rate in the CMP process, and the surface state of the copper film after CMP was not affected by the SiO2 sol. Polarization curves and corrosion potential of different concentrations of SiO2 sol showed that trace SiO2 sol can effectively weaken the passivation film thickness. In other words, SiO2 sol accelerated the decomposition rate of passive film. It was confirmed that the SiO2 sol as reactant had been involved in the CMP process of copper film as reactant by the effect of trace SiO2 sol on the removal rate of copper film in the CMP process under different conditions. In the CMP process, a small amount of SiO2 sol can drastically alter the chemical reaction rate of the copper film, therefore, the possibility that Cu/SiO2 as a catalytic system catalytically accelerated the chemical reaction in the CMP process was proposed. According to the van＇t Hoff isotherm formula and the characteristics of a catalyst which only changes the chemical reaction rate without changing the total reaction standard Gibbs free energy, factors affecting the Cu/SiO2 catalytic reaction were derived from the decomposition rate of Cu （OH）2 and the pH value of the system, and then it was concluded that the CuSiO3 as intermediates of Cu/SiO2 catalytic reaction accelerated the chemical reaction rate in the CMP process. It was confirmed that the Cu/SiO2 catalytic system generated the intermediate of the catalytic reaction （CuSiO3） in the CMP process through the removal rate of copper film, infrared spectrum and AFM diagrams in different pH conditions. FinalLy it is concluded that the SiO2 sol used in the experiment possesses stable performance; in the CMP process it is directly involved in the chemical reaction by creating the intermediate of the catalytic reaction （CuSiO3） whose yield is proportional to the pH value, which accelerates the removal of copper film.
