    摘要: A method of polishing a thin film formed on a semiconductor substrate. In a method of the present invention a polishing pad is rotated. A substrate is pressed against the rotating polishing pad so that the thin film to be polished is placed in direct contact with the polishing pad. During polishing, the polishing pad is continually conditioned by forming a plurality of grooves into the polishing pad. The grooves are formed by a conditioning block having a substantially planar bottom surface with a plurality of groove generating points extending from the substantially planar surface of the conditioning block. The grooves are generated by sweeping and rotating the conditioning block between an outer radius and an inner radius of the polishing pad.

    摘要: An apparatus to generate an endpoint signal to control the polishing of thin films on a semiconductor wafer surface includes a through-hole in a polish pad, a light source, a fiber optic cable, a light sensor, and a computer. A pad assembly includes the polish pad, a pad backer, and a pad backing plate. The pad backer includes a pinhole and a canal that holds the fiber optic cable. The pad backer holds the polish pad so that the through-hole is coincident with the pinhole opening. A wafer chuck holds a semiconductor wafer so that the surface to be polished is against the polish pad. The light source provides light within a predetermined bandwidth. The fiber optic cable propagates the light through the through-hole opening to illuminate the surface as the pad assembly orbits and the chuck rotates. The light sensor receives reflected light from the surface through the fiber optic cable and generates reflected spectral data. The computer receives the reflected spectral data and calculates an endpoint signal. For metal film polishing, the endpoint signal is based upon the intensities of two individual wavelength bands. For dielectric film polishing, the endpoint signal is based upon fitting of the reflected spectrum to an optical reflectance model to determine remaining film thickness. The computer compares the endpoint signal to predetermined criteria and stops the polishing process when the endpoint signal meets the predetermined criteria.

    摘要: A novel method and apparatus for uniformly polishing thin films formed on a semiconductor substrate. A substrate is placed face down on a moving polishing pad so that the thin film to be polished is placed in direct contact with the moving polishing pad. The substrate is forcibly pressed against the polishing pad with pneumatic or hydraulic pressure applied to the backside of the substrate during polishing. Additionally, a wear ring is placed on the polishing pad around and adjacent to the substrate and forcibly pressed onto the polishing pad with a downward pressure from a second source so that the wear ring is coplanar with the substrate in order to eliminate edge rounding effects.

    摘要: A high acceleration umbilical cable deployment system for enabling electrical communication between a ballistic projectile forebody and an afterbody. A cable coiled on a spool is housed within a ballistic casing having a drag funnel at the rear end. The cable is sandwiched between a foam plug and the drag funnel before it leaves the forebody and is secured in a strain relief at the apex of a funnel in the afterbody. On deployment, when the bodies are separated, energies that would tend to rupture the cable are expended by the funnels, plug and strain relief.
