Cabot Microelectronics Corporation Announces Major Breakthrough in CMP Technology with Novus(TM) A7000 Series Aluminum CMP Slurr
January 24 2011 - 8:15PM
Cabot Microelectronics Corporation (Nasdaq:CCMP), the world's
leading supplier of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP)
polishing slurries and a growing CMP pad supplier to the
semiconductor industry, today announced the launch of its NovusTM
A7000 series Aluminum CMP slurry intended to enable its customers'
advanced High-K and Metal Gate device integration schemes.
The Novus A7000 series Aluminum CMP slurry builds on Cabot
Microelectronics’ industry-leading CMP technology and is the result
of extensive research and development. The Novus A7000 series
contains alumina particles that provide the ability to remove
aluminum and the complex stack of metals within the transistor
gates of advanced semiconductor devices. This slurry is
formulated with unique chemistries that optimize removal rate,
while meeting low defectivity requirements. Additionally, the
Novus A7000 series was designed to stop polishing on oxide and
limit aluminum dishing, both of which minimize gate height,
improving transistor performance and device reliability.
Donald Wiseman, Cabot Microelectronics' Global Business Director
for Metals Slurry, stated, "The Novus A7000 series Aluminum CMP
slurry provides advanced node customers with a solution for a
critical process step in enabling High-K and Metal Gate device
integration. We believe this new slurry is applicable across a wide
range of feature sizes and densities and offers customers unmatched
quality, performance and optimal cost of ownership."
