APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COMPENSATION OF VARIABILITY IN CHEMICAL MECHANICAL POLISHING CONSUMABLES
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for conditioning a polishing pad in a CMP system are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus for polishing a substrate is provided. The apparatus includes a rotatable platen and a conditioner device coupled to a base. The conditioner device includes a shaft rotatably coupled to the base by a first motor. A rotatable conditioner head is coupled to the shaft by an arm. The conditioner head coupled to a second motor controlling rotation of the conditioner head. One or more measurement devices are provided that are operable to sense a rotational force metric of the shaft relative to the base and a rotational force metric of the conditioner head.
