    Abstract: A carrier head includes a base assembly, a substrate mounting surface connected to the base assembly, and a plurality of segments disposed circumferentially around the substrate mounting surface to provide a retaining ring to surround a substrate mounted on the substrate mounting surface. An inner surface of each of the plurality of segments is configured to engage the substrate, and each segment of the plurality of segments of the retaining ring is pivotally connected to the base assembly such that a lower portion of each segment of the retaining ring is swingable toward and away from the substrate.

    Abstract: A method for optimizing polishing includes, for each respective retaining ring of a plurality of retaining rings mounted on a particular carrier head, performing measurements for a bottom surface of the respective retaining ring mounted on the particular carrier head using a coordinate measurement machine and collecting a respective removal profile of a substrate polished using the respective retaining ring. A machine learning model is trained based on the measurements of the bottom surface of the retaining ring and the respective removal profiles.

    Abstract: A retaining ring comprises a generally annular body. The body comprises a top surface, a bottom surface, an outer surface connected to the top surface at an outer top perimeter and the bottom surface at an outer bottom perimeter, and an inner surface connected to the top surface at an inner top perimeter and the bottom surface at an inner bottom perimeter. The inner surface comprises seven or more planar facets. Adjacent planar facets are connected at corners. The inner bottom perimeter comprises straight edges of the planar facets connected at the corners.
