Title: Abrasive articles including conformable coatings and polishing system therefrom

Description:
BACKGROUND 
     Abrasive articles having a coating have been described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,921,856; 6,368,198 and 8,905,823 and U.S. Pat. Publ. Nos. 2011/0053479 and 2017/0008143. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to abrasive articles having conformable coatings, for example pad conditioners having conformable coatings, and polishing systems therefrom. 
     SUMMARY 
     Abrasive articles are typically used to abrade various substrates, in order to remove a portion of the abraded substrate surface from the substrate itself. The material removed from the substrate surface is typically called swarf. One problem with abrasive articles is that swarf can build up on the abrading surface of the abrasive article, reducing the abrasive article&#39;s ability to abrade. Removing the swarf from the abrasive article is often difficult, as it can readily adhere to the abrading surface of the abrasive article. 
     In chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) applications, a polishing system may include a polishing pad, often a polymeric based material, e.g. polyurethane; an abrasive article designed to abrade the pad, e.g. a pad conditioner; a substrate being polished, e.g. a semiconductor wafer; and a working liquid, e.g. a polishing slurry containing abrasive particles, designed to polish/abrade the substrate being polished. During polishing of the wafer with the polishing slurry and the polishing pad, the polishing pad can become glazed over with slurry particles from the slurry, which reduces the polishing pads ability to polish the wafer in a consistent manner. Pad conditioners, which may contain a diamond particle abrading layer, a ceramic abrading layer or a diamond coated ceramic abrading layer, are often used to abrade the polishing pad in order to remove the glaze and/or expose new polishing pad surface, thereby maintaining consistent polishing performance of the pad over long periods of polishing time. However, during use, the pad conditioner is prone to swarf build-up, e.g. polishing pad material abraded from the polishing pad and/or abrasive particles from the slurry may adhere to the abrading surface of the pad conditioner. This phenomena reduces the pad conditioner&#39;s ability to remove the glaze from the polishing pad and/or expose new polishing pad surface and ultimately leads to reduced polishing performance of the polishing pad itself. To improve this situation, a pad conditioner is needed that has an abrading surface that reduces swarf build-up and/or can be easily cleaned of swarf. 
     The present disclosure relates to abrasive articles having a unique hydrophilic surface. The hydrophilic surface improves wettability of the abrasive article&#39;s surface and may lead to enhanced anti-fouling capabilities and/or enhanced cleaning capabilities due to the hydrophilic surface of the abrasive article. This contrasts with prior art, e.g. U.S. Pat. Appl. Publ. 2011/0053479 (Kim et al.), which suggests that hydrophobic cutting surfaces are required to prevent contamination of a cutting tool surface, e.g. a pad conditioner surface. The present disclosure also provides polishing systems that incorporate the abrasive articles of the present disclosure. 
     In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides and abrasive article comprising: 
     a ceramic body having an abrading surface and an opposed second surface, wherein the abrading surface of the ceramic body includes a plurality of engineered features each having a base and a distal end opposite the base and the ceramic body has a Mohs hardness of at least 7.5 and/or a Vickers hardness of at least 1300 kg/mm 2 ; 
     a conformable metal oxide coating adjacent to and conforming to the plurality of engineered features, wherein the conformable metal oxide coating includes a first surface; and 
     a conformable polar organic-metallic coating in contact with the first surface of the conformable metal oxide coating. In some embodiments, the conformable polar organic-metallic coating includes a chemical compound having at least one metal and an organic moiety having at least one polar functional group. Optionally, the at least one metal of the conformable polar organic-metallic coating may be at least one of Si, Ti, Zr and Al. The ceramic body may have a thickness between from 4 mm to 25 mm. In some embodiments, the projected surface area of the abrading surface is between from 500 mm 2  to 500000 mm 2 . 
     In yet another embodiment the present disclosure provides a polishing system comprising: 
     a polishing pad including a material; 
     a pad conditioner having an abrading surface, wherein the pad conditioner includes at least one abrasive article according to any one of the abrasive articles of the present disclosure, wherein the abrading surface of the pad conditioner includes the conformable polar organic-metallic coating of the at least one abrasive article.

     Repeated use of reference characters in the specification and drawings is intended to represent the same or analogous features or elements of the disclosure. The drawings may not be drawn to scale. As used herein, the word “between”, as applied to numerical ranges, includes the endpoints of the ranges, unless otherwise specified. The recitation of numerical ranges by endpoints includes all numbers within that range (e.g. 1 to 5 includes 1, 1.5, 2, 2.75, 3, 3.80, 4, and 5) and any range within that range. 
     It should be understood that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art, which fall within the scope and spirit of the principles of the disclosure. All scientific and technical terms used herein have meanings commonly used in the art unless otherwise specified. The definitions provided herein are to facilitate understanding of certain terms used frequently herein and are not meant to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The present disclosure relates to abrasive articles useful in a variety of abrading applications. The abrasive articles of the present disclosure show particular utility as pad conditioners or elements of segmented pad conditioners and may be used in a variety of CMP applications. The abrasive articles of the present disclosure show unique anti-fouling and/or cleaning characteristics associated with a hydrophilic surface located adjacent an abrading surface of the abrasive article&#39;s body. The hydrophilic surface is the result of one or more conformable coatings applied to the abrading surface of the abrasive article&#39;s body. The hydrophilic surface may be associated with a polar organic-metallic coating applied adjacent to the abrading surface of the abrasive article. The abrasive articles of the present disclosure include a ceramic body, having an abrading surface, i.e. a surface designed for abrading a substrate, and a polar organic-metallic coating adjacent to the abrading surface. The ceramic body may have a Mohs hardness of at least 7.5 and/or a Vickers hardness of at least 1300 kg/mm 2 . The polar organic-metallic coating may be a conformable coating, conforming to any engineered features on the abrading surface or any coated engineered features on the abrading surface. The polar organic-metallic coating may include a chemical compound having at least one metal and an organic moiety having at least one polar functional group. The at least one metal may be at least one of Si, Ti, Zr and Al. The polar organic-metallic coating may include an organometallic compound. The abrasive article may further include a metal oxide coating disposed between the abrading surface of the ceramic body and the polar organic-metallic coating. The metal oxide coating may facilitate bonding of the polar organic-metallic coating to the abrasive article&#39;s ceramic body. The metal oxide coating may also be hydrophilic and contribute to the hydrophilic nature of the final abrading surface (the abrading surface after coating) of the abrasive article. The metal oxide coating may also increase the durability and shelf life of the hydrophilic coating, as compared to a plasma coating for example, enabling the abrasive article to maintain its anti-fouling characteristics over longer periods of time. The metal oxide may be a conformable coating, conforming to any engineered features on the abrading surface or any coated engineered features on the abrading surface. The abrasive article may include an optional diamond coating disposed between the abrading surface of the ceramic body and the polar organic-metallic coating.

The diamond coating may be a conformable coating, conforming to engineered features on the abrading surface (e.g. a plurality of engineered features) or coated engineered features on the abrading surface. The surface of the diamond coating may be oxidized to facilitate bonding to the polar organic-metallic coating or the metal oxide coating. If the surface of the diamond coating is oxidize, the oxidized surface may be considered a metal oxide coating, herein, even though, conventionally, an oxidized carbon would not be considered a metal oxide coating. With the exception of the inclusion of an oxidized diamond surface, the term “metal oxide” has its conventional meaning in the art, herein.

     The metal of the conformable metal oxide coating may include at least one of an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, a transition metal and a semiconductor metal. Semiconductor metal include Si, Ga and the like. In some embodiments, the metal of the metal oxide includes at least one of Al, Ti, Cr, Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, W, Zn, Zr, Ga and Si. Combinations may be used. 
     In some embodiments, the abrasive article includes a conformable metal oxide coating adjacent to and conforming to a plurality of three dimensional features, e.g. a plurality of engineered features, wherein the conformable metal oxide coating includes a first surface; and a conformable polar organic-metallic coating in contact with the first surface of the conformable metal oxide coating. The conformable polar organic-metallic coating includes a chemical compound having at least one metal and an organic moiety having at least one polar functional group. The conformable metal oxide coating may be in contact with the plurality of three dimensional features of the ceramic body of the abrasive article. In some embodiments, the contact angle of water on the conformable polar organic-metallic coating of the abrasive article is less than 30 degrees, less than 20 degrees, less than 10 degrees, less than 5 degrees or even less than 2 degrees.

Generally, abrasive articles having a high Mohs (at least about 7.5) and/or Vickers hardness (at least about 1300 kg/mm 2 ) have particular utility, as they are capable of withstanding the abrading action that occurs during an abrading process and/or the often harsh chemical environment found in, for example, CMP applications. 
     The ceramic body may be a carbide ceramic body that includes 99% carbide ceramic by weight, optionally, the carbide ceramic body may include 99% silicon carbide ceramic by weight. The ceramic body may be a monolithic ceramic body. A monolithic ceramic body is a body that consists essentially of the ceramic it is composed of and has a continuous, ceramic structure throughout, e.g. a continuous, ceramic morphology throughout. The ceramic morphology may be a single phase. A monolithic ceramic is generally designed to erode very slowly, preferably not at all, and contains no abrasive particles that may be release from the monolithic ceramic. A monolithic ceramic is not an abrasive composite that is often used in the field of abrasives. An abrasive composite includes a binder, e.g. a polymeric binder, and a plurality of abrasive particles dispersed within the binder. An abrasive composite has at least a two phase morphology, a continuous binder or matrix phase and the discontinuous abrasive particle phase. The binder may be referred to as a “binder matrix” or “matrix”. In contrast to a monolithic ceramic, an abrasive composite, particularly one having a plurality three-dimensional structures, e.g. engineered features, functions by erosion of the binder which results in the exposer of fresh abrasive particles, while worn abrasive particles are released from the composite.

The conformable polar organic-metallic coating  40  may include a chemical compound having at least one metal, e.g. at least one of Si, Ti, Zr and Al, and an organic moiety having at least one polar functional groups. Abrasive article  100  may, optionally, include a conformable, diamond coating  50  disposed between the abrading surface  10   a  of ceramic body  10  and the conformable metal oxide coating  40 .

     Fabrication of the ceramic body may be conducted by machining of a pre-formed ceramic or molding techniques, e.g. micro-replication.

Once in the mold, the ceramic powder precursor is compressed under high pressure, to densify the powder and force the powder into the mold cavities. This first step of the process produces a molded, green body ceramic that can be removed from the mold. The green body ceramic is then sintered at elevated temperature to remove the polymeric binder and further densify the body, thereby forming a ceramic body, i.e. a sintered ceramic body having a plurality of engineered features. In one embodiment, the green body ceramic element is heated during a binder and carbon source (if present) pyrolization step in an oxygen poor atmosphere in a temperature range of between from 300° C. and 900° C., forming a ceramic body having an abrading surface herein the abrading surface of the body includes a plurality of engineered features.

It may be desirable to have the abrading surfaces  220   a  of abrasive elements  220  be substantially planar. Methods of mounting abrading elements to a substrate enabling the planar abrading surfaces of the abrading elements to be substantially planar are disclosed in U.S Pat. Publ.

       FIG. 3  schematically illustrates an example of a polishing system  300  for utilizing abrasive articles in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown, polishing system  300  may include a polishing pad  350 , having polishing surface  350   a  , and a pad conditioner  310  having an abrading surface. The pad conditioner includes at least one abrasive article according to any one of the abrasive articles of the present disclosure, wherein the abrading surface of the pad conditioner includes the conformable polar organic-metallic coating of the at least one abrasive article. The system may further include one or more of the following: a working liquid  360 , a platen  340  and a pad conditioner carrier assembly  330 , a cleaning liquid (not shown). An adhesive layer  370  may be used to attach the polishing pad  350  to platen  340  and may be part of the polishing system. A substrate being polished (not shown) on polishing pad  350  may also be part of polishing system  300 . Working liquid  360  may be a layer of solution disposed on polishing surface  350   a  of polishing pad  350 . Polishing pad  350  may be any polishing pad known in the art. Polishing pad  350  includes a material, i.e. it is fabricated from a material. The material of the polishing pad may include a polymer, e.g. at least one of a thermoset polymer and a thermoplastic polymer. The thermoset polymer and the thermoplastic polymer may be a polyurethane, i.e. the material of the polishing pad may be a polyurethane. The working liquid is typically disposed on the surface of the polishing pad. The working liquid may also be at the interface between pad conditioner  310  and polishing pad  350 . During operation of polishing system  300 , a drive assembly  345  may rotate (arrow A) the platen  340  to move the polishing pad  350  to carry out a polishing operation. The polishing pad  350  and the polishing solution  360  may separately, or in combination, define a polishing environment that mechanically and/or chemically removes material from or polishes a major surface of a substrate to be polished. To abrade, i.e. condition, polishing surface  350   a  with pad conditioner  310 , the carrier assembly  330  may urge pad conditioner  310  against polishing surface  350   a  of polishing pad  350  in the presence of polishing solution  360 . The platen  340  (and thus the polishing pad  350 ) and/or the pad conditioner carrier assembly  330  then move relative to one another to translate pad conditioner  310  across polishing surface  350   a  of polishing pad  350 .

     Fabrication Techniques 
     Silica-like Plasma Deposition Method: 
     Silica-like (conformable metal oxide coating) plasma deposition was conducted by placing a pad conditioner (a B5 or B6-M2990), which includes ceramic abrading elements having a plurality of engineered features, in a plasma chamber. Air was evacuated from the chamber by a mechanical pump and the chamber reached a base pressure lower than 100 mTorr before igniting the plasma. Three steps were used to deposit the silica-like layer on the surface of ceramic elements of the pad conditioner. First, the sample was cleaned by using oxygen gas, 50 sccm with rf power 300 W for 1 min. Next, deposition was conducted by exposing the surface of an element to a mixture of HMDSO/02 50 sccm/25 sccm at rf power 300 W for 1 min. Last, the surface of the silica-like layer was oxidized by using oxygen gas, 50 sccm with rf power 300 W for 30 sec. 
     Plasma Induced Oxidation Method: 
     Plasma induced oxidation was conducted by placing a placing a pad conditioner (a B5 or B6-M2990 pad conditioner), which includes ceramic abrading elements having a plurality of engineered features, in a custom built plasma chamber and evacuating the air to reach a base pressure lower than 100 mTorr. The chamber was exposed to oxygen gas at a flow rate of 50 sccm followed by igniting of the plasma (RF power 300 W for 1 min). 
     Solution Coating Method: 
     Immediately after the plasma process described above, one of the Preparative Solutions (Preparative Solutions A-H) was dripped on the surface of the plasma treated ceramic abrading elements of the pad conditioner until the surface was fully covered by the solution. The sample was dried at room temperature for 24 hours, or heated at 120° C. for a period of 30 minutes (unless noted otherwise). Note that each pad conditioner included five ceramic abrasive elements and each could be coated with a different Preparative Solution, to produce up to five different examples per pad conditioner. 
     Testing Methods 
     Conditioning Test Method: 
     Conditioning was conducted using a CETR-CP4 (available form Bruker Company) having a. 9 inch (23 cm) diameter platen. A 9 inch (23 cm) diameter IC1000 pad (available from Dow Chemical) was mounted on the platen and an Example pad conditioner or Comparative Example pad conditioner was mounted on the rotating spindle of the CETR-CP4. Conditioning was conducted at a platen speed of 93 rpm and a spindle speed of 87 rpm, respectively. The downforce on the conditioner was 6 lbs (27 N) and the IC1000 pad was abraded by the pad conditioner. During the conditioning, de-ionized water flows to platen at a flow rate of 100 mL/min. 
     Post Conditioning Visual Analysis Method: 
     After conditioning for a period of 30 mins (unless specified otherwise), the surfaces of the ceramic abrading elements were examined by optical microscopy to identify pad debris accumulation and scored on a debris rating scale of 1=completely free of debris and 5=heavily soiled with debris, with a gradient of increasing accumulated debris therebetween, designated as values of 2, 3 and 4. 
     Post Conditioning Image Analysis Method: 
     Images of the surfaces of the ceramic abrading elements of the pad conditioner were obtained by taking a digital photo of all the elements under identical lighting. Subsequent image analysis was done using ImageJ software version 1.46r (Rasband, W. S., ImageJ, U.S. National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., USA, http://imagej.nih.gov/ij/, 1997-2012). The following thresholds were set and applied to each image: Hue 0-255; Saturation, 0-255; Bright was a variable range to make the pad debris is clearer. The Histogram function was then utilized to count the number of white pixels on equivalent areas of the elements which was directly related to the amount of debris on the surface. A “White Count %” was then determined, with a higher value correlating to a higher amount of surface debris. A quantitative comparison could then be made between pad conditioner ceramic abrading elements having various surface modification. 
     Contact Angle Analysis Method: 
     The coated substrate samples prepared as described in the following Examples and Comparative Examples were cleaned by compress air to eliminate impurity particles before measuring water (H2O) contact angles (using water as the wetting liquid). Static water contact angle measurements were made using deionized water filtered through a filtration system on a drop shape analyzer (available as product number DSA 100 from Kruss, Hamburg, Germany). Reported values were the averages of measurements of two drops measured on the element. Drop volumes were 3 microliters. 
     Examples 2-3 and Comparative Example 1 
     Examples 2-3 were prepared using a B5 pad conditioner using the Silica-like Plasma Deposition Method and the Solution Coating Method, described above followed by coating using the Preparative Solutions noted in the Table, below. Comparative Example 1 was a B5 pad conditioner used as supplied. Examples 2-3, and Comparative Example 1 were tested with the Conditioning Test Method for the time noted in Table 1. Examples 2-3, and Comparative Example 1 were evaluated using the Post Conditioning Visual Analysis Method and the Contact Angle Analysis Method. Results are shown in Table 1.

     Examples 4-9 and Comparative Example 1 
     For Examples 4-9, a B5 pad conditioner was subjected to the Plasma Induced Oxidation Method, prior to coating with a Preparative Solution. Coating followed the Solution Coating Method and the specific Preparative Solutions used are noted in the Table 2, below. Comparative Example 1 was an as supplied B5 pad conditioner. Examples 4-9 and Comparative Example 1 were tested with the Conditioning Test Method. After 30 min of conditioning, the surfaces of the ceramic abrading elements of the pad conditioner were examined using the Post Conditioning Visual Analysis Method to identify pad debris. Additionally, the optical images were analyzed using the Post Conditioning Image Analysis Method. Results are shown in Table 2.

     Examples 16 and Comparative Example 15 
     Example 16 was prepared by subjecting a B6-2990 pad conditioner to the Silica-like Plasma Deposition Method and the Solution Coating Method using Preparative Solution A. Comparative Example 15 was an as supplied B6-2990 pad conditioner. The samples were tested with the Conditioning Test Method noted above. After the conditioning time noted in Table 4, below, the surfaces of the ceramic abrasive elements of the pad conditioners were examined using the Post Conditioning Visual Analysis Method to identify pad debris. Example 16 was tested for three different conditioning times (1, 2 and 6 hours). The test was run cumulatively on the same pad conditioner. Results are shown in Table 4.
