    摘要: In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a load cup mechanism is provided for loading and unloading apparatus such as a CMP apparatus. The load cup mechanism, configured to load a work piece into and to unload a work piece from the apparatus, comprises a load cup arm configured to pivot about an axis between a load position aligned with the apparatus and an off-load position. A work piece platform is coupled to an end of the load cup arm and a plurality of lift fingers and a plurality of guide fingers, configured to support and center a work piece, are spaced about the work piece platform. A plurality of guide posts are spaced apart about the periphery of the work piece platform and are configured to align the work piece platform, in the load position, to the processing apparatus.

    摘要: A laminated wear ring for a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) apparatus provides improved control of the removal rate of material from the edge of a wafer during a polishing/planarization operation. The laminated wear ring includes a high stiffness stainless steel base and a plastic laminate. The high stiffness stainless steel base avoids flexing of the wear ring during polishing and thus provides control of the flexing of a polish pad against which the wafer surface is pressed. The plastic laminate protects the stainless steel base from attack by the polishing slurry and provides a buffer that protects the stainless steel base from mechanically damaging the wafer and vice versa.

    摘要: A method and system for providing and dynamically managing the size of a storage space containing data structures depending on a current network load. The present invention expands the size of a storage space when the amount of data therein is large, thereby reducing the time spent searching for values within the data structure. When the amount of data within the storage space is small, the present invention contracts the size of the storage space to reduce the memory needed to maintain the storage space. In this manner, the present invention dynamically adjusts the size of the storage space in response to changing network loads to ensure that network performance remains optimized.

    摘要: A wear ring assembly is provided for use in a workpiece (e.g. a semiconductor wafer) polishing apparatus. The wear ring assembly comprises a wear element and a backing ring. The backing ring includes a fulcrum and is configured to transfer a component of pressure applied to the backing ring to the wear element via the fulcrum. In this manner, a substantially uniform vertical displacement of the wear ring is achieved.
