    摘要: A method and apparatus for replacing a polishing pad conditioning disk is a chemical mechanical polishing system is provided. The apparatus comprises a disk load/unload station for unloading used conditioning disks from a pad conditioning assembly and loading unused conditioning disks onto the pad conditioning assembly, on or more disk storage stations for storing both used and unused conditioning disks, and a central robot having a range of motion sufficient for transferring both used an unused conditioning disks between the disk load/unload station and the one or more disk storage stations. Embodiments described herein reduce the length of system interruption by eliminating the need to safety lock out the system for the replacement of polishing pad conditioning disks.

    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.

    摘要: A system for chemical mechanical polishing having a carrier head with pressurizeable chambers that can be configured into pressure zones is described. The system includes a carrier head with a membrane for contacting a substrate during polishing. Pressurizeable chambers behind the membrane are in communication with pressure inputs. The pressure inputs can each supply a different pressure to the pressurizeable chambers. Some of the pressurizeable chambers can be in communication with more than one pressure input. Zones of pressure can be arranged, where each zone includes one or more pressurizeable chambers. The zones can be configurable by altering the pressurizeable chambers that make up each zone.

    摘要: A carrier bead for chemical mechanical polishing of a substrate. The carrier head includes a carrier base, a retaining ring, and a junction connecting the carrier base to the retaining ring. The junction is configured such that vertical movement of the retaining ring is substantially restrained relative to the carrier base. The junction is further configured such that the profile of a bottom surface of the retaining ring is substantially decoupled from flexing and/or expansion of carrier base.

    摘要: A carrier head for chemical mechanical polishing of a substrate includes a base and a flexible membrane extending beneath the base to define a chamber. The flexible membrane has a core of a first material and an outer layer of a second material having a lower adhesion to the substrate than the first material. An exposed surface of the outer layer provides a mounting surface for the substrate.
