CHEMICAL MECHANICAL POLISHING METHODS AND SYSTEMS INCLUDING PRE-TREATMENT PHASE AND PRE-TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS

摘要

In one aspect, a substrate chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) method for copper-layered substrates is disclosed. The CMP method includes providing a substrate having a surface of copper, and pre-treating the surface containing copper with a first composition containing a carrier liquid, a corrosion inhibitor, and an oxidizer in a pre-treatment phase, and thereafter, polishing the surface with a slurry composition in a main polishing phase. CMP systems and compositions for CMP are provided, as are numerous other aspects.
