    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention generally provide an improved conditioning module and conditioning disks for improved pressure distribution during the process of conditioning a polishing pad of a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) system. In one embodiment, a conditioning module comprising multiple, small conditioning disks is provided. In one embodiment, a conditioning disk having a compliant backing member is provided. In one embodiment, the compliant backing member comprises a semi-rigid backing member cut into a spiral shape to provide compliancy. In another embodiment, the compliant backing member comprises a fluid-pressurized, flexible membrane. Each embodiment of the present invention provides an improved pressure distribution across the face of each conditioning disk, resulting in increased disk life as well as increased conditioning rate and uniformity.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided relating to polishing a substrate using a polishing device, such as a polishing tape. The polishing device may be formed to include a base, a resin layer adhering to the base, and a plurality of embossed abrasive particles and/or abrasive beads affixed to the base by the resin layer. The plurality of abrasive particles and/or beads may be embossed in the resin layer. The plurality of abrasive beads may include a plurality of abrasive particles suspended in binder material. The plurality of abrasive particles and/or beads and the resin layer combine to form an abrasive side of the polishing device adapted to contact the substrate. Polishing of the substrate preferably includes polishing an edge of the substrate while the substrate is rotated by a holding device such that no apparatus other than the polishing tape contacts the edge while the substrate is rotating.

    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.
