Description

Dispersion and use thereof
Technical Field
The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of planarization, in particular to a dispersion liquid and application thereof.
Background
At present, cerium oxide is widely reported as an abrasive for planarization process of semiconductor manufacturing. It is of great interest mainly due to the high abrasive removal activity of cerium oxide on silica and it achieves high abrasive removal at lower solids content. Therefore, the planarization composition using cerium oxide as an abrasive has a wider application prospect and market advantage in terms of performance and cost than the traditional silicon oxide or aluminum oxide materials.
In polishing liquids in which cerium oxide is used as an abrasive, the particle characteristics of cerium oxide are important for the effect of polishing. For example, in dielectric layer planarization applications, cerium oxide particle size, morphology, etc., have important effects on both defect generation and polishing removal rate selection during planarization. In planarization applications, surface scratch defects are mainly caused by large particles in the slurry, however, if small particle size abrasives are used, this will result in loss of the removal rate. In the prior art, surface scratch and polishing removal rate are very important measures of polishing effect. Therefore, how to increase the polishing removal rate without increasing the particle size is a difficult problem in the synthesis of the cerium oxide abrasive.

The embodiment of the present application can improve the polishing removal rate without increasing the particle diameter of cerium oxide particles by controlling the signal peak position of electron spin resonance of cerium oxide particles in a dispersion to a value of 2.05 or less. Among them, electron spin resonance (electron spin resonance, ESR) is a method for examining a substance containing unpaired electrons, and the detection target includes radicals, transition metal ions, multi-state molecules, crystal defects, and the like. Electron spin resonance can identify the information of valence state of single electron substances, nature of adjacent atoms, symmetry of surface parts, total number of unpaired spin electrons in the unit catalyst and the like in the catalyst. The electron spin resonance signal peak is the g factor, and the g factor can represent the information of unpaired electron environment and is an important index for representing crystal defects.
