摘要:
Polishing pads having a foundation layer and a window attached to the foundation layer, and methods of fabricating such polishing pads, are described. In an example, a polishing pad for polishing a substrate includes a foundation layer having a first modulus. A polishing layer is attached to the foundation layer and has a second modulus less than the first modulus. A first opening is through the polishing layer and a second opening is through the foundation layer. The first opening exposes at least a portion of the second opening and exposes a portion of the foundation layer. A window is disposed in the first opening and is attached to the exposed portion of the foundation layer.
摘要:
Low density polishing pads and methods of fabricating low density polishing pads are described. In an example, a polishing pad (222) for polishing a substrate includes a polishing body having a density approximately in the range of 0.4 - 0.55 g/cc. The polishing body includes a thermoset polyurethane material and a plurality of closed cell pores (218) dispersed in the thermoset polyurethane material. Each of the plurality of closed cell pores (218) has a shell composed of an acrylic co-polymer.
