Abstract: The progress of integrated circuit can be used as an important indicator to measure the economic strength of a country, so as to reflect the overall strength of the country. Among the many processes of integrated circuit, CMP is one of the key manufacturing technologies, and it is also the only technology that can achieve global and local flattening which is widely used. Chip interconnection is a post-stage process, and the current technologies mainly include copper interconnection and cobalt interconnection. When using these interconnection technologies, the performance of the chip will inevitably be affected, including the metal diffusion problem, the bond strength between the film and the substrate, and so on. We choose to add different barrier layers to solve these problems. Both interconnect metal and barrier layer must undergo CMP process, which directly determines chip yield and reliability. The limitations in the research of CMP interconnection and barrier layer are introduced briefly.In this paper, the materials of various technical joint barrier layers and the substitution of interconnect metals are reviewed.
