    摘要: A method includes providing at least one wafer having a process layer formed thereon for polishing. The process layer is polished using a first polishing process that is associated with a slurry having a first abrasive particle size. The process layer is polished using a second polishing process that is associated with a slurry having a second abrasive particle size that is different from the first abrasive particle size. A system includes a polishing tool and a process controller. The polishing tool is adapted to receive at least one wafer having a process layer formed thereon for polishing. The polishing tool is adapted to polish the process layer using a first polishing process that is associated with a slurry having a first abrasive particle size. The polishing tool is adapted to polish the process layer using a second polishing process that is associated with a slurry having a second abrasive particle size that is different from the first abrasive particle size. The process controller is coupled to the polishing tool and adapted to communicate with at least one of a slurry controller and the polishing tool.

    摘要: Spin-on coatings are applied by ramping-up the exhaust level in the spin coating chamber to achieve a predetermined minimum exhaustion level prior to accelerating rotation of the coating substrate to a high speed to effect spreading of the coating fluid. The resulting spun-on coatings exhibit reduced defect formation and reduced aerosol particle redeposition thereon.
