    摘要: A polishing pad of a CMP apparatus has a plurality of pores. A characteristic associated with the pores, such as average size or pore density, varies substantially from region to region of the pad across the pad in a diametral direction of the pad. The polishing pad can be designed and manufactured using sample pads whose pore characteristics differ from each other. CMP test processes are performed in which the sample pads are used to polish test wafers, and the rates at which the test wafers are polished are measured and stored in a database. The polishing pad is fabricated using data from the database so that a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus employing the pad will polish wafers with a high degree of uniformity. The database can be used to select sample pads from a stockpile. Sections of the sample pads are cut out, respectively, and fastened to one another.

    摘要: Methods of polishing an object layer and for manufacturing a non-volatile memory device that incorporates such a polished object layer using a specially formulated slurry composition are disclosed. The slurry compositions include a ceria abrasive, a nonionic surfactant having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value in a range of about 12 to about 17, and water. The nonionic surfactant is selected such that it may be adsorbed onto a hydrophobic layer to protect the hydrophobic layer from the ceria abrasive during a polishing operation. The slurry compositions may have a relatively high polishing rate for a hydrophilic layer and at the same time a relatively low polishing rate for a hydrophobic layer. Thus, the slurry compositions may be applied during a process for polishing the hydrophilic layer using the hydrophobic layer as a polishing stop layer.
