Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to advanced polishing pads with tunable chemical, material and structural properties, and new methods of manufacturing the same. According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, it has been discovered that a polishing pad with improved properties may be produced by an additive manufacturing process, such as a three-dimensional (3D) printing process. Embodiments of the present disclosure thus may provide an advanced polishing pad that has discrete features and geometries, formed from at least two different materials that include functional polymers, functional oligomers, reactive diluents, and curing agents. For example, the advanced polishing pad may be formed from a plurality of polymeric layers, by the automated sequential deposition of at least one resin precursor composition followed by at least one curing step, wherein each layer may represent at least one polymer composition, and/or regions of different compositions.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a chemical mechanical polishing pad includes introducing polymer precursors containing acrylate functional groups into a mold, providing abrasive particles and a photo-initiator in the polymer precursors to form a mixture, and while the mixture is contained between a bottom plate and a top cover of the mold, exposing the mixture to ultraviolet radiation through a transparent section of the mold to cause the polymer precursors to form radicals, forming a polymer matrix from the polymer precursor by causing the radicals to cross-link with one another. The polishing layer includes the polymer matrix having the abrasive particles dispersed therein.

Abstract: Among other things, a method comprises polishing a surface of a substrate by applying a pressure between the surface of a substrate and a surface of a polishing pad. The surface of the polishing pad defines one or more grooves separated by one or more partition regions. The one or more grooves have an initial depth before the polishing starts and extend from an initial outer surface of the one or more partition regions to an initial bottom of the one or more grooves. The method also comprises removing material below an initial bottom of the one or more grooves such that a distance between an outer surface of the one or more partition regions and a bottom of the one or more grooves remain substantially the same as the initial depth.
