Problems solved by technology

Specifically, the measurement method of the slurry solution used in the field of the semiconductor industry so far has only used a single ultrasonic principle to measure the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the slurry solution.
However, when the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the slurry solution is measured only by the principle of ultrasonic waves, the concentration of the slurry affects the concentration measurement of hydrogen peroxide.
In other words, even if the concentration of hydrogen peroxide remains constant, if the concentration of the slurry changes, an error will occur in the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
In addition, the measurement method of the slurry solution used in the field of the semiconductor industry so far has not measured the concentration of the slurry in the slurry solution

no. 1 approach

[0036] The slurry solution mainly used in the semiconductor CMP process contains two kinds of hydrogen peroxide and slurry. Hydrogen peroxide is primarily chemically reactive and cleansing. The slurry acts as a physical (mechanical) abrasive. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the slurry solution and the concentration of the slurry vary corresponding to the film on which the CMP process is performed. Especially in the case of slurry, not only the concentration of the slurry but also the kind of the slurry varies according to the CMP process. In this way, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the slurry solution used in CMP, the concentration of the slurry, and the type of the slurry vary.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for measuring and adjusting the concentration of slurry solution. Background technique [0002] With the miniaturization, high density, and multilayer structure of semiconductor devices, finer patterning techniques are used, and the surface structure of semiconductor devices becomes complicated, and the steps of each interlayer insulating film become larger. Therefore, as a planarization technique for removing steps on a specific film formed on a semiconductor substrate, there is typically a technique utilizing a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. [0003] The CMP process refers to a method of flattening the surface of a wafer using a polishing pad and a slurry, and more specifically, is a method of bringing the polishing pad into contact with the wafer and implementing an orbital motion that mixes rotation and linear motion to the polishing pad and the wafer and A grinding process using a slurry containing ...
