Chemical mechanical polishing: Theory and experiment

Abstract: For several decades, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has been the most widely used planarization method in integrated circuits manufacturing. The final polishing results are affected by many factors related to the carrier structure, the polishing pad, the slurry, and the process parameters. As both chemical and mechanical actions affect the effectiveness of CMP, and these actions are themselves affected by many factors, the CMP mechanism is complex and has been a hot research area for many years.

“…A deliberate running-in process with controlled wear at the level of asperities of the mating surfaces is beneficial for all of the following machine operations. In some advanced surface finishing processes, such as lapping and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), a proper wear rate is definitely required for maintaining an acceptable level of productivity [116,117]. In a machinery system, there are a number of contacting interfaces distributed throughout many locations, and different interfaces at the different locations of the machine have different roles and require different desired friction coefficient values.…”

“…As an ultra-precision processing technique, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technique has been widely used in semiconductor fabrication. CMP combines the synergistic effect of chemical etching and mechanical abrasion, and can achieve both local and global planarization of the substrate surface [14][15][16][17]. Recently, the application of CMP technique has been extended to other areas, such as high value-added and precise instruments.…”

“…In general, CMP depends on the synergy between chemical and mechanical interactions near the interface between workpiece and polishing pad. Although CMP process is intuitively quite simple, achieving a more detailed understanding has been limited primarily by the large number of input variables in the polishing process [2]. The input variables including the polishing slurry parameters, polishing pad parameters and polishing process parameters that determine the performance of CMP.…”
