A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes (a) depositing an insulating film on a semiconductor substrate; (b) forming a recess in the insulating film; (c) depositing a conductive film on the insulating film while filling the recess with the conductive film; and (d) polishing the conductive film. Step (d) includes a first polishing substep of using a first polisher pad conditioned with a first dresser and a second polishing substep of using a second polisher pad conditioned with a second dresser different from the first dresser.

Method for fabricating semiconductor device

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, including depositing an interconnect material including Cu or Cu alloy over an insulating film, and polishing the interconnect material by CMP with a polishing liquid, wherein the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the polishing liquid is controlled so as to be in the range of 400 mV to 700 mV vs. Ag/AgCl.

Method for manufacturing semiconductor device and polisher used in the method for manufacturing semiconductor device

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes a polishing process of a substrate, wherein the polishing process includes the steps of applying a chemical mechanical polishing process to the substrate on a polishing pad while using slurry, and conditions a surface of the polishing pad, the conditioning step including the step of grinding the surface of said polishing pad by at least first and second conditioning disks of respective, different surface states.

Fabrication process of semiconductor device and polishing method

An electric conductive film is formed on the insulating surface of a substrate, the substrate having a trench formed on the insulating surface, and the conductive film being filled in the trench. Chemical mechanical polishing is executed to expose the insulating surface of the substrate and leave a portion of the conductive film in the trench. The surface of the substrate having the exposed conductive film in the trench and the exposed insulating surface is exposed to first liquid. After being exposed to the first liquid, the surface of the substrate is exposed to second liquid. The first liquid is either solution which contains at least one first substance selected from a first group consisting of benzotriazole, derivative of benzotriazole and interfacial active agent, or water. The second solution is solution which contains the first substance at a density higher than a density of the first liquid.

Semiconductor device manufacture method

A pedestal pad (workpiece supporting table pad) is arranged on the top of a pedestal (workpiece supporting table) for temporarily placing and holding a pre-polished or post-polished wafer (workpiece). This pedestal pad is formed of resin, and at least a surface of the pedestal pad which comes into contact with the wafer is non-absorbable to a fluid. The tissue of the pedestal pad is dense and smooth, and does not have any cavity, such as fine holes, which holds the fluid.
