PM 2 Surface Polishing
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCMP tools combine chemical etching and mechanical abrasion to planarize wafer surfaces. The wafer is held in a rotating carrier head and pressed against a rotating platen covered with a polishing pad. A slurry containing abrasive particles and chemical reagents flows between the pad and wafer.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCMP is used at multiple stages in semiconductor fabrication. After dielectric deposition, CMP planarizes interlayer dielectrics. After metal deposition, CMP removes excess metal to form damascene interconnects. CMP also creates planar surfaces for shallow trench isolation. The process is typically followed by post-CMP cleaning to remove slurry residues and contamination.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedSurface polishing machines are used to planarize a variety of materials including silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, copper, tungsten, and polysilicon. CMP is essential for advanced node logic and memory devices, enabling multi-layer metallization and critical dimension control.
