    摘要: Embodiments of a conditioning head for in-situ conditioning and/or cleaning a processing pad of a CMP, ECMP, or other processing system are provided. In one embodiment, the conditioning head includes a brush disposed in a central cavity. A cleaning fluid is provided through the central cavity of the conditioning head to a processing pad. The brush spins and moves laterally across the surface of the processing pad. The cleaning solution dispensed through the conditioning head dissolves by-products of the processing operation while the brush gently wipes the processing pad. A lip of the conditioning head retains the cleaning fluid and cleaning waste, thereby minimizing contamination of the area outside of the conditioning head. The cleaning waste is removed from the processing pad via passages formed near the outer periphery of the conditioning head.

    摘要: Polishing compositions and methods for removing conductive materials from a substrate surface are provided. In one aspect, a composition is provided for removing at least a conductive material from a substrate surface including sulfuric acid or derivative, phosphoric acid or derivative, a first chelating agent including an organic salt, a pH adjusting agent to provide a pH between about 2 and about 10 and a solvent. The composition may further include a second chelating agent. The composition may be used in a single step or two step electrochemical mechanical planarization process. The polishing compositions and methods described herein improve the effective removal rate of materials from the substrate surface, such as tungsten, with a reduction in planarization type defects.
