Control of the Micro-Defects on the Surface of Silicon Wafer in Chemical Mechanical Polishing

Qun Zhao et al.

Summary: This study investigates the synergistic effect of surfactants and water-soluble polymers to improve the wettability and reduce micro-flocculation of abrasive particles on the silicon surface. The results show that the adsorption of cationic polyacrylamide and fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether can reduce the number of residual particles, while water-soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone can coat the abrasives and further reduce the residual particles. Contact angle analysis and particle counting were used to evaluate the changes.

An experimental investigation of silicon wafer thinning by sequentially using constant-pressure diamond grinding and fixed-abrasive chemical mechanical polishing

Gengzhuo Li et al.

Summary: A novel thinning method using constant-pressure diamond grinding and fixed-abrasive CMP was proposed to achieve high-efficiency thinning and low-damage removal of silicon. This method showed superior application prospects in the preparation of ultra-thin silicon wafers, providing an ultra-smooth surface with low processing stress.

Modeling the microscale contact status in chemical mechanical polishing process

Lin Wang et al.

Summary: The micro-scale contact status between the pad and the workpiece surface is crucial in determining the material removal rate during the CMP process. This paper introduces the concept of effective contact spots to evaluate the contribution of random contact status to the material removal process. Mechanical removal capacity and chemical reaction capacity parameters are defined to mathematically model the material removal process from a micro-scale chemical-mechanical synergistic perspective. Experimental observations and theoretical analysis confirm the importance of the micro-scale contact status and the dominant roles of the real contact ratio, radius, and spacing in determining the material removal rate for different materials.

Effect and Mechanism of Dual-Official Group of Ethanolamines on the Chemical Mechanical Polishing of Monocrystalline Silicon

Xinying Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper studies the effect of different pH values and three ethanolamines on the removal rate of silicon. The results show that the concentration of ethanolamine and the pH value have a certain influence on the removal rate of silicon, and the concentration of ethanolamine has a more significant effect on the change of the removal rate.

Atomic-Level Material Removal Mechanisms of Si(110) Chemical Mechanical Polishing: Insights from ReaxFF Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Ming Wang et al.

Summary: Reactive molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the atomistic mechanism of chemical mechanical polishing on a Si(110) surface polished with an a-SiO2 particle. The results show that oxidation of the Si surface, insertion of O atoms into the surface, and formation of interfacial Si-O-Si bonds all play important roles in surface wear during the CMP process, with multiple atomic-level wear mechanisms contributing to material removal. The oxide layer of the Si surface mainly provides O atoms for insertion into the surface, rather than additional reaction pathways for bond formation.

Improving Junction Quality via Modifying the Si Surface to Enhance the Performance of PEDOT:PSS/Si Hybrid Solar Cells

Ting Gao et al.

Summary: In this study, aromatic rubrene was used to modify the Si surface to improve the junction quality of PEDOT:PSS/Si hybrid solar cells. The interaction of rubrene with Si dangling bonds reduced the binding energies and increased the work function of the PEDOT:PSS film, resulting in a stronger inversion layer and higher efficiency for the solar cells. The power conversion efficiency with rubrene was found to be significantly higher compared to cells without this modification.

Micro-scale contact behavior and its effect on the material removal process during chemical mechanical polishing

Lin Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that the material removal rate is related to the fluctuation of the friction force (stick-slip phenomenon) rather than the average coefficient of friction. Additionally, a waviness topography was observed on the polished surface, further confirming its origin from the stick-slip phenomenon.
