Abstract:
A method for optimizing polishing includes, for each respective retaining ring of a plurality of retaining rings mounted on a particular carrier head, performing measurements for a bottom surface of the respective retaining ring mounted on the particular carrier head using a coordinate measurement machine and collecting a respective removal profile of a substrate polished using the respective retaining ring. A machine learning model is trained based on the measurements of the bottom surface of the retaining ring and the respective removal profiles.
