    摘要: Methods of and systems for polishing an edge of a substrate are provided. The invention includes rotating a substrate against a polishing film so as to remove material from the edge of the substrate; and detecting an amount of one of energy and torque exerted in rotating the substrate against the polishing film. The invention may further include determining an amount of material removed from the edge of the substrate based on the detected energy or torque exerted in rotating the substrate against the polishing film; ascertaining a difference between the determined amount of material removed and a preset polish level; and determining an amount of energy or torque to be exerted in rotating the substrate adapted to attain the preset polish level based on the difference between the determined amount of material removed and the preset polish level. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要: A substrate polishing apparatus and method are described. A base includes at least one movable platen to engage a polishing pad. At least one carrier head assembly presses a substrate against the polishing pad substantially within a polishing area during a polishing operation. A polishing solution dispenser applies a polishing solution to the polishing pad substantially within the polishing area during the polishing operation. A polishing solution retaining mechanism is attached to one of the base or the carrier head assembly. The retaining mechanism engages a top surface of the polishing pad and retains the polishing solution substantially within the polishing area during the polishing operation. Some implementations may reduce polishing solution consumption and allow for increased angular velocity.
