    摘要: A chemical mechanical polishing apparatus and method can use an in-situ monitoring system. A measurement of a position of a carrier head and a sinusoidal first function can be used to define a second function that associates measurements from the series with positions on the substrate. For each measurement in a series from the in-situ monitoring system, the second function can be used to determine a position on the substrate where the measurement was taken. In addition, a measurement of the position of the carrier head, a time when the measurement of the substrate property is made, and a phase correction representing lag resulting from a processing delay in generating the measurement of the position of the carrier head can be used in determining a position on the substrate where a measurement of a substrate property was taken.

    摘要: A chemical mechanical polishing apparatus has a polishing pad, a carrier to hold a substrate against a first side of the polishing surface, and a motor coupled to at least one of the polishing pad and carrier head for generating relative motion therebetween. An eddy current monitoring system is positioned to generate an alternating magnetic field in proximity to the substrate, an optical monitoring system generates a light beam and detects reflections of the light beam from the substrate, and a controller receives signals from the eddy current monitoring system and the optical monitoring system.

    摘要: A polishing system can have a rotatable platen, a polishing pad secured to the platen, a carrier head to hold a substrate against the polishing pad, and an eddy current monitoring system including a coil or ferromagnetic body that extends at least partially through the polishing pad. A polishing pad can have a polishing layer and a coil or ferromagnetic body secured to the polishing layer. Recesses can be formed in a transparent window in the polishing pad.
