Abstract

The effect of benzotriazole (BTA) on the adhesion force of silica and pad particle on Cu/TEOS wafer surfaces was investigated with and without the addition of BTA. Cu-BTA had the isoelectric point (IEP) at around pH 4$\sim$8. Pad particles were more positive zeta potentials than silica. The adhesion force initially decreased of silica and pad particle on Cu surfaces when BTA was added. However, the more BTA was added, the more adhesion force gradually increased with the increase of BTA concentrations. Then the adhesion force of pad particle was higher than silica. And TEOS didn't resulted increasing adhesion force like Cu when BTA was added in DI water.
