Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and system for sludge-free treatment of waste liquid slurries containing at least one dissolved metal. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and system for the sludge-free treatment of dissolved metal-containing slurries employed in chemical- mechanical polishing (CMP) such as performed during "back-end" metallization processing of semiconductor integrated circuit devices.
- CMP chemical- mechanical polishing
- This invention relates to treatment and disposal of waste liquid slurries containing a dissolved metal and is of particular utility in "back-end" metallization processing of integrated circuit semiconductor devices having copper-based contacts, vias, interlevel metallization, and device interconnection routing.
- Metal films are utilized in semiconductor manufacturing technology to form electrically conductive contacts to active as well as passive device regions or components formed in or on a semiconductor substrate, as well as for filling via holes, interlevel metallization, and interconnection routing patterns for wiring together the components and/or regions.
- Metals employed for such purposes include titanium, tantalum, aluminum, nickel, cobalt, silver, gold, copper, and their alloys.
- copper and copper-based alloys are particularly attractive for use in VLSI and ULSI multilevel metallization systems employed for "back-end" processing of semiconductor wafers. Copper has a very low resistivity, i.e., even lower than that of aluminum, and a significantly higher electromigration resistance.
- copper and its alloys enjoy a considerable cost advantage over silver and gold and their alloys.
- substrate 1 comprises a semiconductor wafer, typically of monocrystalline silicon, comprising at least one active device region formed therein or thereon.
- the desired conductor pattern is defined as a plurality of recesses 2 such as grooves, trenches, holes, etc. in a dielectric layer 3 formed over the semiconductor substrate.
- a subsequent step comprises deposition of a suitably conductive metal layer 5 (e.g., copper or a copper alloy) filling the recesses 2.
- a suitably conductive metal layer 5 e.g., copper or a copper alloy
- the metal layer 5 is deposited as a blanket layer of excess thickness t so as to overfill the recesses and cover the upper surface 4 of the dielectric layer 3.
- the upper surface 6 is shown in the figure as planar for illustrative simplicity, in practice it is highly non-planar as a result of the uneven substrate topography and the characteristics of its method of deposition.
- the entire thickness t of the metal layer 5 over the surface of the dielectric layer 3 is removed by a planarization process, typically chemical- mechanical polishing ("CMP"), leaving metal portions 5' in the recesses 2 with their exposed surfaces 7 substantially coplanar with the surface 4 of the dielectric layer 3.
- CMP chemical- mechanical polishing
- the semiconductor wafer 1 is rotated against a rotating polishing pad while an abrasive and chemically reactive solution/slurry is supplied to the rotating pad.
- Other CMP apparatus may utilize an oscillating or continuous belt pad.
- Slurries used for CMP of silicon semiconductor wafers can be divided into three categories, depending upon their intended use: silicon polish slurries, oxide polish slurries, and metal polish slurries.
- the silicon polish slurries are formulated for polishing and planarizing bare silicon wafers, whereas the oxide polish slurries are designed for polishing and planarizing a dielectric layer on a wafer, typically a layer of a silicon oxide.
- the metal polish slurries which are utilized in and form the subject of the process according to the present invention, are employed for polishing and planarizing a conductive metal -containing layer on a semiconductor wafer.
- the conductive metal-containing layer is typically deposited on a dielectric layer and can comprise tungsten, titanium, aluminum, nickel, cobalt, copper, silver, gold, and alloys thereof.
- Commonly employed CMP metal polishes include very small particles of an abrasive, such as silica, alumina, or ceria, having a diameter of about 50-1,000 nm, suspended in a water-based liquid vehicle. The proportion of the particles in the slurry depends upon the particular slurry used and typically are in the range of about 1-5% by weight.
- the pH of a metals polish slurry may vary from slightly acidic (e.g., about 5.0) to approximately neutral (e.g., about 7.5), depending upon the particular formulation used.
- the pH is optionally controlled by the addition of an organic acid such as acetic or citric acid.
- the slurry may contain one or more oxidizing agents for solubilizing the conductive metal-containing material and, thus, assist in its removal.
- Typical oxidizers include hydrogen peroxide, potassium ferricyanide, ferric nitrate, and/or mixtures thereof. Additional details concerning compositions of metals polishing slurries for CMP processing of semiconductor wafers, as well as process parameters, are described in U.S. Pat. 5,340,370, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the abrasive action of the slurry particles on the metallization layer(s) and pattern(s) on the wafer surface results in the removal of very small particles of metal (i.e., on the order of about 0.2 um), which particles are rapidly solubilized (i.e., dissolved) by the oxidizing and other proprietary agents contained in the CMP slurry.
- very small particles of metal i.e., on the order of about 0.2 um
- used or spent CMP even when diluted with rinse water, contains a significant concentration of dissolved metal.
- spent slurry and rinse water are not segregated, with both being directed down a waste drain.
- the volume of rinse water used is typically more than thirty times and as much as one hundred times the volume of spent slurry.
- from about 10 to about 100 gpm of fabrication polishing wastes i.e., spent slurry + waste water
- the large amount of chemical consumption due to passage of such large waste volumes adds considerably to the adverse environmental impact of wafer manufacture.
- An important consideration also is the toxicity of several of the metals which may be dissolved in the spent slurry as a result of CMP of particular metallization systems, which toxicity may impose severe environmental constraints on discharge of CMP wastes.
- a significant economic consideration of such CMP waste disposal is the loss of expensive metals, e.g., silver and gold, dissolved in the CMP waste stream.
- spent CMP slurries are treated, as by filtering, to separate the solids (polishing aggregates) therefrom prior to discharge of the liquid filtrate into a drain.
- the separated solids are then supplied to a filter press for compressing the solids into a filter cake ("sludge") for off-site disposal.
- sludge filter cake
- the filtrate obtained from the solids separation is subjected to processing, typically ion exchange, for removal of of the dissolved metal prior to discharge to the waste drain.
- the dissolved metal may be recovered from the filtrate in a solid form for re-use.
- An advantage of the present invention is a sludge-free method of treating a waste liquid slurry containing dissolved metal(s), such as is produced by CMP of semiconductor wafers during "back- end" metallization processing.
- Another advantage of the present invention is a sludge-free method of treating a waste liquid slurry containing dissolved metal(s), wherein the slurry solids are separated from the liquid containing the dissolved metal(s), treated to further reduce the concentration of dissolved metal(s) therein to an environmentally acceptable low level, and then discharged in a sludge-free manner into a waste drain.
- Still another advantage of the present invention is a sludge-free method of treating a waste liquid slurry containing dissolved metal(s), wherein the liquid containing the dissolved metal(s) is separated from the slurry solids, the dissolved metal(s) is (are) removed from the separated liquid, a portion of the metal(s)-free liquid is used to wash the separated slurry solids, and another portion of the metal(s)-free liquid is discharged to a waste drain in an environmentally acceptable state or recycled for use in CMP processing.
- a further advantage of the present invention is a sludge-free method of treating a waste liquid slurry containing dissolved metal(s), wherein the liquid containing the dissolved metal(s) is separated from the slurry solids, the metal(s) is (are) removed from the liquid, the metal(s) is (are) recovered in solid form for re-use, and the slurry solids are directly discharged in an environmentally acceptable state.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a system for performing sludge-free treatment of a waste liquid slurry containing dissolved metal(s).
- a further aspect of the present invention is a system for performing sludge-free treatment of a waste liquid slurry containing dissolved metal(s) and recovering the metal(s) in solid form for re-use.
- a sludge-free method of treating a waste liquid slurry containing dissolved metal(s) comprises the steps of:
- waste treatment system including a solids filter and an ion exchanger
- a second portion of the substantially metal(s)-free liquid effluent from the ion exchanger is discharged to a waste drain or re-cycled for use in CMP processing, the metal(s) removed from the filtrate by the ion exchanger are extracted therefrom as a liquid solution, and the extracted liquid solution is treated, as by electrowinning, to obtain solid- metals) therefrom for re-use.

- waste treatment system including a solids filter and an ion exchanger
- a second portion of the substantially copper free effluent from the ion exchanger is discharged into a waste drain or recycled for use in the CMP processing, a liquid regenerating agent is passed through the ion exchanger for extracting the copper therefrom as a liquid solution, and the extracted copper-containing liquid solution is supplied to an electrochemical cell for performing an electrowinning process therein to obtain solid copper for re-use.
- a system for sludge-free treatment of a waste liquid slurry containing dissolved metal(s) comprises:
- a solids filter for separating an input stream of waste liquid slurry into a first, solid-free filtrate portion containing the dissolved metal(s) and a second, concentrated solids-containing waste portion having a substantially reduced dissolved metal(s) concentration;
- an ion exchanger for receiving the first, solids-free liquid filtrate portion containing the dissolved metal(s) and for supplying therefrom a substantially metal-free effluent
- the system further comprises a source of regenerating agent for extracting the metal(s) from the ion exchanger in the form of a metal(s)- containing solution, and an electrolytic cell for receiving the metal(s) containing solution and performing an electrowinning process therein for obtaining solid metal(s) for re-use.
- Figure 1 illustrates, in simplified cross-sectional schematic form, conventional steps for performing a damascene type metallization process utilizing chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP); and
- Figure 2 illustrates, in simplified schematic form, a system for performing sludge-free treatment of a metal-containing waste liquid slurry according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- CMP chemical-mechanical polishing
- a waste liquid slurry 11 is supplied via an inlet conduit 12 to a solids filter 13 for separating the slurry particles from the liquid vehicle.
- Filter 13 comprises a filter element or member 14 which cannot pass the slurry solids but which freely passes the metal(s)- containing liquid vehicle therethrough.
- Filter element or member 14 divides the interior volume of filter 13 into a first space or compartment 15 for containing therein a concentrated solids portion 16 of the waste liquid slurry 11 and a second space or compartment 17 for receiving a solids-free filtrate portion 18 of the waste liquid slurry 11 containing dissolved metal(s) therein.
- waste liquid slurry 11 supplied to the system by inlet conduit 12 has a solids content of about 0.1% by weight and the concentrated solids portion 16 in compartment 15 has a solids content of about 5% by weight.
- the solids-free, dissolved metal(s) containing filtrate portion 18 is supplied via conduit 19 to an ion exchanger 20, suitably of conventional type employing an ion exchange resin, where the metal(s) are removed from the solids-free filtrate.
- Substantially metal(s)-free liquid effluent 21 emerges from the ion exchanger 20 via outlet conduit 22, and is divided into two streams.
- a first stream 23 flows through conduit 24 for use as recycled rinse water (after pH adjustment, etc., as necessary) or is discharged from the system to a waste drain.
- a second stream 25 is supplied to the first compartment 15 of filter 13 via conduit 26 to back-wash the concentrated solids portion 16 contained therein.
- the metal(s) content of concentrated solids portion 16 is thereby reduced to a sufficiently low level as to permit environmentally acceptable, direct, sludge-free discharge thereof to a waste drain via outlet conduit 17.
- back-wash liquid 25 containing any metal(s) extracted from the concentrated solids portion 16 freely passes through filter element 14 and is subjected to metal(s) removal therefrom by ion exchanger 20.
- a liquid regenerating agent 28 illustratively a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid, is supplied to ion exchanger 20 via inlet conduit 29 for extracting the metal(s) contained therein as a result of previous removal of same from the solids- free filtrate 18 supplied from the second compartment 17 of filter 13.
- liquid solution 30 of the extracted metal(s) contained in the regenerating agent is then supplied via inlet conduit 31 to electrolysis cell 32, where solid metal(s) is (are) recovered from solution by performing an electrowinning process. The recovered metal(s) may then be further processed for re-use in metallization processing or other type application.
- metal(s) extracted from the ion exchanger 20 are not readily susceptible of electrolytic recovery, other conventional chemical techniques readily determinable by one of ordinary skill in the art, such as precipitation, absorption, etc., may be employed for recovering the metal(s) or derivatives thereof in solid form.
- a spent CMP metals polishing slurry diluted with rinse liquid and containing water, dissolved copper at a concentration of about 2 - 15 ppm, 0.03 - 1% by wt. solid particles of polishing aggregate (alumina), solubilizers, and conditioners was discharged from the CMP station of a semiconductor processing line into an equalization tank.
- the pH and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the slurry in the equalization tank was monitored and adjusted, in conventional fashion, the slurry was pumped through a solids filter having a polypropylene fabric-based filter element (EPOX, available from Kinetico, San Anselmo, CA.) for forming therein a concentrated solids-containing slurry having about 5% by wt. solids content.
- EPOX polypropylene fabric-based filter element
- the solids-free copper-bearing solution passing through the filter element was then passed through an activated carbon filter for removal of organics, etc., and then passed through an ion exchanger (e.g., available from U.S. Filter Co., Billerica, MA.) to substantially remove the copper therefrom.
- the substantially copper-free effluent from the ion exchanger was then divided into two streams.
- a first stream was fed to the filter compartment containing the concentrated solids portion of the waste slurry to back-wash the solid polishing aggregate so as to further extract soluble copper therefrom.
- the back-wash liquid passed through the carbon filter and the ion exchanger, as before.
- the volume of back-wash liquid required to reduce the copper level to an environmentally acceptable level (which varies depending upon the locality) for direct discharge into the waste main depended upon the initial copper concentration in the CMP waste slurry and the volume of the concentrated solids portion in the filter. In some instances, depending upon its pH, the washed concentrated solids slurry was supplied to an acid waste neutralization tank prior to discharge into the waste main.
- the second stream of substantially copper-free effluent from the ion exchanger was either directly discharged to the waste main or preliminarily supplied to an acid waste neutralization tank, depending upon its pH.
- the copper-free effluent was recycled after acid waste neutralization rather than discharged to the waste drain.
- the ion exchanger was periodically treated in conventional manner with a sulfuric acid containing solution for extracting the removed copper therefrom and regenerating the ion exchange resin.
- the copper in the form of a solution of copper sulfate, was then supplied to an electrolytic cell where a conventional electrowinning process was performed to substantially remove the copper therefrom in solid form by cathodic electrodeposition.
- the copper may then be reprocessed, etc., for re-use in semiconductor metallization or other applications, as desired.
- the low-copper level solution remaining in the electrolytic cell after electrowinning may be returned to the ion exchanger for performing further regeneration/extraction or mixed with the incoming CMP waste slurry in the equalization tank.
- a number of advantages are thus provided by the present invention, including but not limited to: sludge-free treatment and discharge of solids from spent CMP slurries in an environmentally acceptable manner; optional recycling and re-use of CMP and rinse water; removal of dissolved metal(s) to levels permitting environmentally acceptable discharge of CMP and rinse water; and recovery of dissolved metal(s) in re-usable solid form.
- the present invention is advantageously fully compatible with all aspects of conventional CMP process technology.
