    摘要: A conditioning process includes rotating a polishing pad about an axis of rotation, conditioning the polishing pad by sweeping an abrasive disk in a path across a surface of the polishing pad between an inner radial distance from the axis of rotation and an outer radial distance from the axis of rotation, sweeping a sensor across the polishing pad while conditioning the polishing pad, measuring a thickness of the polishing pad at a plurality of positions between the inner radial distance and the outer radial distance with the sensor, and adjusting at least one of a dwell time or a pressure of the abrasive disk against the polishing pad for a portion of the path based on measurements of the thickness by the sensor such that the polishing pad wears to a more uniform thickness than without such adjustment.

    摘要: A polishing article and method for manufacturing a polishing article for use in a chemical mechanical polishing process is disclosed. The polishing article has a plurality of polishing material tiles separated by grooves formed in or through a polishing material and may be adhesively bound to a base film. The polishing article may include various polygonal tiles and oval shapes formed in the polishing material which allow enhanced slurry retention and ease in rolling from a polishing material supply roll and onto a take-up roll in a web type platen assembly. The polishing article may also include an upper carrier film adapted to minimize delaminating stress placed in an area of the polishing article that is not adapted for polishing. A method and apparatus for manufacturing the various embodiments of the polishing article and a replacement supply roll are also disclosed.
