Abstract

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) allows the planarization of wafers with two or more materials at their surfaces. Especially, polishing pad is considered as one of the most important consumables because of its properties. Subject of this investigation is to apply CMP for planarization of shallow trench isolation structure using microstructure pad. Microstructure pad is designed to have uniform structure on its surface and fabricated by micro-molding technology. And then STI CMP performances such as oxide dishing and nitride corner rounding are evaluated.
