Abstract:
A polisher head of a polishing apparatus includes a membrane and a first local pressure nodule and a second local pressure nodule physically contacting the membrane. The first local pressure nodule is configured to apply a first local force to the membrane and the second local pressure nodule is configured to apply a second local force to the membrane. The first local pressure nodule and the second local pressure nodule are independently controllable.
