    摘要: A method for polishing a substrate having a metal film thereon is described. The substrate has metal interconnects formed from part of the metal film. The polishing method includes performing a first polishing process of removing the metal film, after the first polishing process, performing a second polishing process of removing the barrier film, after the second polishing process, performing a third polishing process of polishing the insulating film, during the second polishing process and the third polishing process, monitoring a polishing state of the substrate with an eddy current sensor, and terminating the third polishing process when an output signal of the eddy current sensor reaches a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A polishing pad enables efficient removal of a polishing product and an “old polishing liquid” remaining on a surface (polishing surface) or in through-holes of a polishing pad. The polishing pad has a polishing surface and a plurality of through-holes extending in the thickness direction, which communicate with each other by communication grooves. The through-holes have a diameter of, e.g., 2 to 5 mm. The aperture ratio of the through-holes is, e.g., 10 to 50% of the surface area of the polishing surface of the polishing pad. The depth of the communication grooves is, e.g., 40 to 60% of the thickness of the polishing pad. The width of the communication grooves is, e.g., 10 to 50% of the diameter of the through-holes.

    摘要: An anode as a workpiece, and a cathode opposed to the anode with a predetermined spacing are placed in ultrapure water. A catalytic material promoting dissociation of the ultrapure water and having water permeability is disposed between the workpiece and the cathode. A flow of the ultrapure water is formed inside the catalytic material, with a voltage being applied between the workpiece and the cathode, to decompose water molecules in the ultrapure water into hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, and supply the resulting hydroxide ions to a surface of the workpiece, thereby performing removal processing of or oxide film formation on the workpiece through a chemical dissolution reaction or an oxidation reaction mediated by the hydroxide ions. Thus, clean processing can be performed by use of hydroxide ions in ultrapure water, with no impurities left behind on the processed surface of the workpiece.

    摘要: An electrolytic processing apparatus can detect the end point of electrolytic processing stably with high precision and with a relatively simple construction. The electrolytic processing apparatus includes: a processing electrode which can come close to or into contact with a processing object; a feeding electrode for feeding electricity to the processing object; a fluid supply section for supplying fluid between the processing object and at least one of the processing electrode and the feeding electrode; a processing power source for applying a voltage between the processing electrode and the feeding electrode; a drive section for causing relative movement between the processing object and at least one of the processing electrode and the feeding electrode; and an eddy current sensor for detecting the thickness of the processing object from a change in eddy current loss. The sensor is disposed not in contact with (or separately) by an insulator from the processing electrode and/or the feeding electrode.
