摘要
In order to reduce corrosion on the Cu surface in post-chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) cleaning, controlling the state of inhibitor layers is indispensable. In this study, to investigate the behavior of inhibitor layers in the cleaning process, Cu-benzotriazole (BTA) layers on CuOX were analyzed by electrochemical measurements and surface analysis. Electrochemical measurements revealed that Cu(I)-BTA can prevent corrosion more efficiently than Cu(II)-BTA, and surface analysis revealed that the Cu(I)-BTA layer is thin, whereas the Cu(II)-BTA layer is bulky. The Cu(I)BTA layer is effective in preventing corrosion of the Cu surface. (C) 2011 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
