    摘要: A polishing pad conditioning apparatus includes a laser beam generating unit for providing a laser beam, a fluid delivery system for providing a fluid stream and a vacuum line for removing debris. The laser beam may directly impinge on a surface of a polishing pad thereby creating cutting action, while an atomized fluid stream provides cooling and pad debris along with fluid are removed thru the vacuum line. Alternatively, the laser beam may be combined with the atomized fluid stream in a region above the pad surface to substantially impart part of its energy to the fluid stream, generating high energy droplets which provide “cool” cutting action on the pad surface.

    摘要: A polishing pad includes at least one conductive polishing element supported by a compressible under layer having conductive patterning therein, the conductive patterning adapted to permit coupling of a potential to the conductive polishing element; a guide plate above the compressible under layer, the guide plate having a hole through which the polishing element passes and further having a cathodic element connected thereto; and a slurry distribution layer adhered to the guide plate opposite the compressible under layer. The polishing pad may further include a proton exchange membrane placed over the cathodic element. A semiconductor wafer having a metal film thereon may be polished using the polishing pad by placing the wafer in contact with the polishing element, applying anodic current to the polishing element and cathodic current to the cathodic element, and polishing with an anodic solution. For copper films, a sulfuric acid-copper sulfate solution may be used.

    摘要: A nanospring is formed by first forming a stack of alternating layers of materials which have different susceptibilities to a selective etch solution. The stack is formed over a substrate and is subsequently etched with a substantially non-isotropic etch to create a via having substantially straight sidewalls. The sidewalls of the via are exposed to the selective etch solution, thereby creating irregular sidewalls of the via. A metal film is conformally deposited within the via, and, after excess metal is removed, the stack of alternating layers of materials is etched to expose remaining portions of the conformably deposited film, which comprise the nanospring.

    摘要: Polishing pads of varying compositions for use in chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) and methods of manufacturing and using such pads. Examples of such polishing pads include two phases, one of which may be a high modulus, low wear material that maintains a stable texture when subject to a conditioning process (e.g., polyoxymethylene, Delrin, polyamide-imide (Torlon), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and/or polysulfone), and the other of which may be a material having a polishing ability (e.g., a polyurethane material).
