    摘要: A polishing method includes simultaneously polishing two substrates, a first substrate and a second substrate, on the same polishing pad. A default overpolishing time is stored and an in-situ monitoring system monitors the two substrates. The in-situ monitoring system further determines a first polishing endpoint time and a second polishing endpoint time of the first and second substrates, respectively. The polishing method further includes calculating an overpolishing stop time where the overpolishing stop time is between the first polishing endpoint time plus the default overpolishing time and the second polishing endpoint time plus the default overpolishing time. Polishing of the first substrate is continued past the first polishing endpoint time and polishing of the second substrate is continued past the second polishing endpoint time. Polishing of both the first substrate and the second substrate is halted simultaneously at the overpolishing stop time.

    摘要: A system, method, and computer program product for chemical mechanical polishing a substrate in which initially a plurality of predetermined pressures are applied to a plurality of regions of the substrate. A plurality of portions of the substrate are monitored during polishing with an in-situ monitoring system. If the difference in thickness between two portions of the substrate exceeds a predetermined threshold, a plurality of adjusted pressures are calculated in a closed-loop control system, and the plurality of adjusted pressures are applied to the plurality of regions of the substrate. The predetermined threshold includes an initial threshold for the start of the polishing process and a second threshold for a period of polishing after the start of the polishing process.

    摘要: A polishing pad includes a polishing layer having a polishing surface, an adhesive layer on a side of the polishing layer opposite the polishing layer, and a solid light-transmitting window extending through and molded to the polishing layer. The solid light-transmitting window has an upper portion with a first lateral dimension and a lower portion with a second lateral dimension that is smaller than the first lateral dimension. A top surface of the solid light-transmitting window coplanar with the polishing surface and a bottom surface of the solid light-transmitting window coplanar with a lower surface of the adhesive layer.

    摘要: A system includes a measuring station for positioning an eddy current probe proximate to a substrate in a substrate holder. The probe can produce a time-varying magnetic field, in order to induce eddy currents in one or more conductive regions of a substrate either prior to or subsequent to polishing. The eddy current signals are detected, and may be used to update one or more polishing parameters for a chemical mechanical polishing system. The substrate holder may be located in a number places; for example, in a substrate transfer system, a factory interface module, a cleaner, or in a portion of the chemical mechanical polishing system away from the polishing stations. Additional probes may be used.
