摘要:
A polishing pad for a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus has a body with a polishing surface having a radius, a central region, and a peripheral region. The polishing surface has a plurality of main radial-line channels extending radially outwardly from the central region to the peripheral region, each main radial-line channel having an angled outer segment at the peripheral region that is directed at an angle relative to a radius of the polishing surface. The polishing surface also has a plurality of primary tributary radial-line channels that are each connected by an angled transition segment to a main radial-line channel, the tributary radial-line channels being spaced apart from the main radial-line channels. The polishing pad provides an improved distribution and flow of polishing slurry during a polishing process.
摘要:
The present invention is an improved semiconductor substrate processing apparatus which includes a processing chamber having a first member, a second member and a processing region; a vacuum tight seal between said first and said second members that enables a pressure controlled environment within said processing region; and a barrier between said first and second members which separates said seal from said processing region, said barrier being substantially non-reactive with processes conducted in said processing region.
