초록

The rise throughput and the stability in the device fabrication can be obtained by applying chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process in 0.18 ${\mu}m$ semiconductor device. However it does have various problems due to the CMP equipment. Especially, among the CMP components, process variables are very important parameters in determining removal rate and non-uniformity. In this paper, We studied the DOE(design of experiment) method for the optimized CMP process. Various process variations, such as table and head speed, slurry flow rate and down force, have investigated in the viewpoint of removal rate and non-uniformity. Through the above DOE results, we could set-up the optimal process parameters.
