摘要: 为得到均一的亚微米级二氧化铈(CeO2)抛光粉,以六水合硝酸铈(Ce(NO3)3·6H2O)为原料,以醇-水混合溶液为溶剂,采用溶剂热法合成CeO2。改变Ce3+浓度和醇-水体积比,利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、激光粒度分布仪、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对CeO2的物相组成和形貌特征进行表征,分析CeO2粒子的形成过程。将合成的CeO2用于6H-SiC晶片Si面的化学机械抛光(chemical mechanical polishing,CMP),利用原子力显微镜(atomic force microscopy, AFM)和电子天平得出CeO2的抛光性能。结果表明:Ce3+浓度为0.10 mol/L,醇-水体积比为3∶1时合成的CeO2的形貌规则、晶粒尺寸适中且粒度分布均匀。采用其抛光后,晶片表面粗糙度Ra为0.243 nm,材料去除速率dMRR为287 nm/h。合成的CeO2适用于化学机械抛光。Abstract: To obtain homogeneous submicron cerium dioxide (CeO2) polishing powder, CeO2 was synthesized by solvothermal reaction using cerium nitrate (Ce(NO3)3·6H2O) as cerium resource and alcohol-water mixed solution as solvent. The phase composition and morphology of CeO2 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser particle size analyzer and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The formation process of CeO2 particles was analyzed by changing the concentration of Ce3+ and alcohol-water ratio. The synthesized CeO2 was used for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) Si-face of 6H-SiC. The polishing characteristics were tracked by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electronic balance. The results indicates that when the Ce3+ concentration is 0.10 mol/L and alcohol/water volume ratio is 3∶1, the as-prepared particles have regular morphology, moderate particle size and uniform particle size distribution. After polished by using the as-prepared CeO2, the Ra of wafer surface reached 0.243 nm and the dMRR 287 nm/h. The as-prepared CeO2 can be used for chemical mechanical polishing.
