Abstract: A manufacturing method for a shallow trench isolation. First, a substrate is provided, a hard mask layer and a patterned photoresist layer are sequentially formed on the substrate, at least one trench is then formed in the substrate through an etching process, the hard mask layer is removed. Afterwards, a filler is formed at least in the trench and a planarization process is then performed on the filler. Since the planarization process is performed only on the filler, so the dishing phenomenon can effectively be avoided.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing TSVs, wherein the method comprises several steps as follows: A stack structure having a substrate and an ILD layer (inter layer dielectric layer) is provided, in which an opening penetrating through the ILD layer and further extending into the substrate is formed. After an insulator layer and a metal barrier layer are formed on the stack structure and the sidewalls of the opening, a top metal layer is then formed on the stack structure to fulfill the opening. A first planarization process stopping on the barrier layer is conducted to remove a portion of the top metal layer. A second planarization process stopping on the ILD layer is subsequently conducted to remove a portion of the metal barrier layer, a portion of the insulator layer and a portion of the top metal layer, wherein the second planarization process has a polishing endpoint determined by a light interferometry or a motor current.

Abstract: A planarization method of manufacturing a semiconductor component is provided. A dielectric layer is formed above a substrate and defines a trench therein. A barrier layer and a metal layer are formed in sequence in the trench. A first planarization process is applied to the metal layer by using a first reactant so that a portion of the metal layer is removed. An etching rate of the first reactant to the metal layer is greater than that of the first reactant to the barrier layer. A second planarization process is applied to the barrier layer and the metal layer by using a second reactant so that a portion of the barrier layer and the metal layer are removed to expose the dielectric layer. An etching rate of the second reactant to the barrier layer is greater than that of the second reactant to the metal layer.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing TSVs comprises following steps: A stack structure having a substrate, an ILD layer and a dielectric stop layer is provided, in which an opening penetrating through the ILD layer and the dialectic stop layer and further extending into the substrate is formed. After an insulator layer and a metal barrier are formed on the stack structure, a top metal layer is formed on the stack structure to fulfill the opening. A first planarization process stopping on the metal barrier is conducted, wherein the first planarization process has a polishing rate for removing the metal barrier less than that for removing the top metal layer. A second planarization process stopping on the dielectric stop layer is conducted, wherein the second planarization process has a polishing rate for removing the insulator layer greater than that for removing the dielectric stop layer. The dielectric stop layer is than removed.
