METHODS AND APPARATUS USING ENERGIZED FLUIDS TO CLEAN CHEMICAL MECHANICAL PLANARIZATION POLISHING PADS
Abstract:
Methods adapted to clean a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) pad are disclosed. The methods include positioning an energized fluid delivery assembly over a CMP polishing pad; rotating the polishing pad on a platen; energizing a fluid within the energized fluid delivery assembly; applying the energized fluid to the polishing pad to dislodge slurry residue and debris; and removing the dislodged slurry residue and debris using a vacuum suction unit. Systems and apparatus for carrying out the methods are provided, as are numerous additional aspects.
