The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for improving and speeding up substrate loading process. One embodiment provides a method for vacuum chucking a substrate. The method comprises venting a center chamber of a flexible membrane configured for mounting the substrate, moving the substrate such that a backside of the substrate is in full contact with the flexible membrane, and vacuuming the center chamber to vacuum chuck the backside of the substrate to the flexible membrane.
摘要:
A retainer is used with an apparatus for polishing a substrate. The substrate has upper and lower surfaces and a lateral, substantially circular, perimeter. The apparatus has a polishing pad with an upper polishing surface for contacting and polishing the lower face of the substrate. The retainer has an inward facing retaining face for engaging and retaining the substrate against lateral movement during polishing of the substrate. The retaining face engages a substrate perimeter at more than substantially a single discrete circumferential location along the perimeter.

A method and apparatus for retaining electrolyte on a rotating platen using directional air flow is provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus for processing a substrate is provided. The apparatus includes a platen assembly having a surface for supporting a processing pad and disposed on a stationary base so that the platen assembly may rotate relative to the base; and an air knife coupled to the base and extended over a portion of the surface, the air knife operable to deliver a stream of air toward the pad to divert at least a portion of a fluid disposed on the pad toward a center of the pad.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a load cup configured to speed up substrate transferring to and from a carrier head and to reduce corrosion during the transferring. One embodiment of the present invention provides a non-contact substrate holder comprising a pedestal having a top surface configured to support a substrate, and at least one injection port configured to eject a high velocity liquid stream on the top surface of the pedestal, wherein the liquid stream in configured to secure the substrate on the pedestal without the substrate contacting the top surface of the pedestal.
摘要:
A carrier head for chemical mechanical polishing, includes a base, a support structure attached to the base having a surface for contacting a substrate, and a retaining structure attached to the base to prevent the substrate from moving along the surface. The retaining structure and the surface define a cavity for receiving the substrate. A polishing station includes a platen, a vibration damper mounted on the platen and a substrate polishing pad mounted on the vibration damper. The vibration damper includes a material that does not rebound to its original shape when subjected to a deformation.
