    摘要: Methods for automated uniformity assessment and modification of image non-uniformities using an image measurement device capable of determining image reflectance and/or transmitter as a function of position, such as a spectrophotometer, a calorimeter, and/or a densitometer. One or more of these devices scan an image on a substrate, such as a sheet, thereby generating data representing image characteristics, such as, for example, image non-uniformity. The sheet may contain a reference/test pattern including one column, strip or patch intended to have a uniform density. This data generated by the device after the scan of the substrate is analyzed with signal processing algorithms for image characteristics assessment, including image spatial uniformity and compared to reference image characteristics including image spatial uniformity. An image modification profile may be generated to be applied to a marking system to thereby alter subsequent image data and improve image spatial uniformity of the marking system.

    摘要: A polishing apparatus that employs a polishing media retention arrangement to prevent slippage or wrinkles in the polishing media during polishing. The polishing media is drawn against a support surface by a vacuum applied between the polishing media and the support surface. Also, a porous layer may be placed between the polishing media and the support surface to form dimples in the polishing media upon the application of vacuum. An alternative arrangement draws the polishing media against a carrier and the substrate to be polished.

    摘要: A carrier head and a method of cleaning the carrier head are disclosed. The carrier head may have one or more openings through a sidewall that extend into a cavity within the carrier head using a fluid passage. The openings may each have a lip. The lip may have a chamfered edge. Additionally, a fluid passage may slope generally downward from the openings to the cavity. The chamfered lips and the sloped fluid passage reduce back splashing and help ensure that sufficient rinsing fluid reaches the cavity to rinse polishing fluid and particles from the carrier head. The present invention relates to carrier heads for polishing or planarizing semiconductor substrates by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or electrochemical mechanical polishing (ECMP). The cavities in the carrier head are cleaned by rinsing fluid (i.e., liquid or gas) from inside the cavity towards a substrate receiving side of the carrier head.

    摘要: Embodiments of a flexible pad conditioner for conditioning a processing pad are provided. The pad conditioner includes an arc-shaped member having an abrasive bottom surface configured for conditioning the processing pad. Means are provided to apply a downward force as well as to oscillate the pad conditioner. Further means may be provided to vary the downward force along the length of the pad conditioner. In one embodiment, a plurality of actuators may be coupled to a top surface of the member and adapted to selectively provide an independently controllable force against the member to finely control the conditioning profile.
