Description

Preparation method of semiconductor structure and semiconductor structure Technical Field The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technologies, and in particular, to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure and a semiconductor structure. Background In the semiconductor manufacturing process, the planarization process is a key link for realizing the preparation of the multilayer interconnection structure, wherein the planarization process for the metal interconnection layer is used as a key link of the preparation flow of the metal interconnection structure, and the electrical performance and the long-term reliability of the semiconductor interconnection structure are directly determined by the planarization precision. In the practical process implementation process, as the material characteristics of the metal interconnection layer and the substrate or the barrier layer and other structures are different, and the physical and chemical characteristics of the functional medium used in the process at the process interface are influenced, local concave defects are easily formed in the interface area between the metal interconnection layer and the adjacent structure, the defects are easy to cause slurry residues, and the defects can also cause poor filling of the subsequent medium layer to influence the integrity of the interconnection structure. The research shows that the metal material (such as copper) adopted for forming the metal layer of the metal interconnection structure generally has higher ductility, lower hardness and good chemical activity, and in the grinding process, on one hand, the metal material is easy to be extruded by mechanical grinding force to generate plastic deformation, and on the other hand, the metal material can generate more severe chemical corrosion reaction with functional media used for grinding to cause relatively higher removal rate of the metal material on the surface of the metal interconnection structure, while the barrier layer material is used as an isolation layer for blocking the diffusion function of metal atoms, and is generally made of a material with higher hardness and stronger chemical stability, the ductility of the barrier layer material is far lower than that of the metal material, and the chemical reaction activity of the barrier layer material with the functional media is weaker, so that the removal rate of the barrier layer material is obviously lower than that of the metal material on the surface of the metal interconnection structure under the same grinding process parameters. This uneven polishing removal rate may cause excessive metal material on the surface of the metal interconnection structure to be removed rapidly and simultaneously, the material on the surface of the barrier layer to be removed slowly during the polishing process, so that a step-like drop is formed in the interface area between the two, and the drop gradually evolves into a local notch recess (as shown by the structure in the red circle in fig. 1 and 2) along with the continuous progress of the polishing process. The invention patent CN108682650a discloses a surface planarization method and a semiconductor multilayer interconnection structure, which repair dishing generated in copper process by adopting polishing-deposition-polishing process. However, the technical scheme can only realize the post-repair of the defects, and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of notch recession of the junction area caused by the difference of the grinding rates between the metal layer and the barrier layer.
