Abstract
Chemical mechanical polishing of copper was performed using as oxidizer and alumina particles as abrasives. Electrochemical techniques were used to investigate the dissolution/passivation behavior of high-purity Cu disk under static and dynamic conditions at pH 4 with varying concentrations. Changes in the surface chemistry of the statically etched Cu disk were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Cu removal rate reached a maximum at 1% concentration and decreased with a further increase in concentration. The static etch rate showed the same trend. The etched surface morphology indicates that the removal of copper is primarily the result of electrochemical dissolution of copper at low concentrations. However, at increased concentrations, the copper oxidation rate increases, resulting in a change in the Cu removal mechanism to mechanical abrasion of the oxidized surface. © 2004 The Electrochemical Society.
