Abstract
Abstract In this study, the molecular interactions occurring during Chemical Mechanical planarization of Copper in Ferric nitrate – Alumina – Benzotriazole system is investigated. This system is characterized by sudden and dramatic transitions in removal rates when experimental parameters such as downforce and concentrations of the slurry components (Benzotriazole, abrasive, oxidizer) are varied. This behavior is interpreted in terms of the three surface kinetic processes viz. Cu dissolution, film formation and film removal by abrasion, that determine the overall removal rate. A phenomenological model incorporating Frumkin isotherm for the adsorption of Benzotriazole molecules and Langmuir isotherm for the adsorption of surfactants/ions is proposed. Mathematical equations relating the rates of film formation, film removal and metal dissolution to the over all removal rates are derived. The Model is validated by comparing the model predictions with experimental data. The non-linear equations describing the sudden transitions are shown to exhibit a cusp catastrophe when the interaction parameter exceeds a certain value.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
