摘要:
A method for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) wafers having high aspect ratio surface topography. A wafer is positioned on a plate. A polishing pad is coupled to a platen. A polishing solution (e.g., slurry) is added between the polishing pad and the wafer. CMP is performed on the wafer by creating a relative movement between the polishing pad and the wafer. The polishing pad removes substantially all residual material from the channels. To accomplish this, the polishing pad has a compressibility of at least 5% at a polishing pressure of about 4 psi.

Systems and methods for aligning wafers. A first method provides for placing a wafer carrier comprising a mis-aligned wafer into an acceptance port. A wafer alignment fixture is moved relative to the wafer carrier and perpendicular to the plane of the mis-aligned wafer. The wafer alignment fixture comprises a spring action member. A force from said spring action member is exerted upon the mis-aligned wafer to achieve a desirable alignment of the mis-aligned wafer within the wafer carrier.

A method of manufacture of magnetic heads which include CoFe elements using CMP is presented. The method includes providing a slurry of Al2O3, adjusting the concentration of H2O2 in said slurry to within a range of 6-12% by volume and balancing mechanical polishing action. The balancing is done by adjusting the table speed of a mechanical polisher to within a range of 55-90 rpm, and adjusting polishing pressure to within a range of 5-7 psi. Also a magnetic head having elements made of CoFe material made by this method is disclosed.

摘要:
A Chemical Mechanical Polish (CMP) process and slurry therefore slurry that is capable of removing NiFe, SiO2, Photoresist, Ta, alumina and Cu at substantially the same rate. The slurry is useful for obtaining a substantially planar surface of several materials while avoiding corrosion of Cu coil and NiFe structure.
摘要:
A solution of ammonium citrate and benzotriazole (BTA) is used to clean thin film magnetic head wafers. When used with brushing, the solution is a highly efficient process for removing particles, such as those generated during chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP), without causing corrosion and roughness. This process may be used on all CMP layers in thin film magnetic head wafer fabrication.
