摘要:
A colloidal silica slurry comprising: a low metals ammonium-stabilized silica sol having the following characteristics: SiO₂ present in the range between about 15 to about 50 weight percent; a pH in the range between about 8.5 to about 11.3; a particle diameter in the range between about 4.0 to about 130 nm; aluminum, as Al, present in an amount less than about 100 ppm, based on SiO₂; iron, as Fe, present in an amount less than about 50 ppm, based on SiO₂; potassium, as K, present in an amount less than about 25 ppm, based on SiO₂; and sodium, as Na, present in an amount less than about 500 ppm, based on SiO₂; and a bactericide, a polishing rate accelerator which differs from the bactericide, and/or a sodium chlorite or sodium hypochlorite biocide. Optionally, a fungicide may also be added to the colloidal silica slurry to inhibit fungi growth.
摘要:
A polishing pad material is provided with a cellular polymeric layer containing elongated cells normal to the major surfaces of the material, such that the cell openings on the polishing surface of the material comprise a majority of the surface area, and the cells have a mean diameter of about 50 to 200 microns with the diameter of the surface openings being preferably larger than the cell diameters below the surface. The cells are preferably cone-shaped and have a depth at least 1.5 times the diameter of the surface openings. The pad material is formed from a poromeric material, preferably polyurethane elastomer, with microporous cell walls having pore diameters less than 0.1 times the diameter of the cells. The polishing pad material may be made according to conventional poromeric technology, but instead of removing the usual top poromeric skin, the poromeric layer is inverted and the original bottom poromeric skin and any attached substrate are removed to open and expose the cells at a plane corresponding to their largest diameters.
摘要:
An improved polishing pad material is produced by modifying conventional poromeric materials in which a porous thermoplastic resin matrix, typically polyurethane, is reinforced with a fibrous network such as a felted mat of polyester fibers. The polishing material is modified by coalescing the resin among the fibers, preferably by heat treatment, to increase the porosity and hardness of the material as well increasing the surface activity of the resin. The polishing material may also incorporate polishing aids such as particulate abrasives and may also be used as a lapping or grinding material.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a carrier assembly (10; 110) comprising a drive ring (12; 112; 212) made of a hard material in which at least one aperture (16; 116) is formed for retaining a preferably removeable workpiece holder (18, 20, 22,24,26; 118; 218) made of softer material than the material used to make the drive ring. The workpiece holder contains a cavity which holds and retains the workpiece (28, 30, 32, 34, 36; 128, 130; 228, 230). The softer material of the workpiece holder protects and cushions the workpiece while the drive ring made of hard material withstands the forces generated during polishing, lapping and grinding operations.
