Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing polishing articles used in polishing processes are provided. In one implementation, a method of forming a polishing pad is provided. The method comprises depositing an uncured first layer of a pad forming photopolymer on a substrate. The method further comprises positioning a first optical mask over the first layer of the uncured pad forming photopolymer. The first optical mask includes a patterned sheet of material having at least one aperture. The method further comprises exposing the uncured first layer of the pad forming photopolymer to electromagnetic radiation to selectively polymerize exposed portions of the uncured first layer of the pad forming photopolymer to form pad-supporting structures within the first layer of pad forming photopolymer.

Abstract: Polishing articles and methods of manufacturing polishing articles used in polishing processes and cleaning processes are provided. More particularly, implementations disclosed herein relate to composite polishing articles having tunable properties such as hydrophilicity and zeta potential. 3D printed chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) pads composed of UV curable acrylic chemistry are generally hydrophobic in nature. Such hydrophobic behavior affects the wetting properties with abrasive-based polishing slurries such as ceria-base slurries. However, in order to increase the planarization and removal rate while decreasing defects, hydrophilic pads are preferred. In addition, it is desirable that the zeta potential (Zp) of the pads be tunable over a wide range of conditions at different pH values. Implementations of the present disclosure include methods for increasing the hydrophilicity and tuning the Zp of the pads with anionic additives and pads produced using these methods.

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, addition polymer precursor compounds, catalysts, 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 polymer 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. Embodiments of the disclosure further provide a polishing pad with polymeric layers that may be interpenetrating polymer networks.
