摘要:
Polishing pads with homogeneous bodies having discrete protrusions thereon are described. In an example, a polishing pad for polishing a substrate includes a homogeneous body having a polishing side and a back side. The homogeneous body is composed of a material having a first hardness. A plurality of discrete protrusions is disposed on and covalently bonded with the polishing side of the homogeneous body. The plurality of discrete protrusions is composed of a material having a second hardness different from the first hardness. Methods of fabricating polishing pads with homogeneous bodies having discrete protrusions thereon are also described.

Soft polishing pads for polishing semiconductor substrates are described. A soft polishing pad includes a molded homogeneous polishing body having a thermoset, closed cell polyurethane material with a hardness approximately in the range of 20 Shore D to 45 Shore D.

摘要:
Low density polishing pads and methods of fabricating low density polishing pads are described. In an example, a polishing pad for polishing a substrate includes a polishing body having a density approximately in the range of 0.4-0.55 g/cc. The polishing body includes a thermoset polyurethane material and a plurality of closed cell pores dispersed in the thermoset polyurethane material. Each of the plurality of closed cell pores has a shell composed of an acrylic co-polymer.

摘要:
A CMP polishing pad comprising (a) a polishing layer having a polishing surface and a back surface opposite said polishing surface; said polishing layer having at least one cured opaque thermoset polyurethane region and at least one aperture region; said at least one cured opaque thermoset region has a porosity from about 10% to about 55% by volume; said at least one aperture region having (1) a top opening positioned below the polishing surface, (2) a bottom opening that is co-planar with said back surface and (3) straight line vertical sidewalls extending from said aperture top opening to said aperture bottom opening; said at least one aperture region filled with a cured plug of thermoset polyurethane local area transparency material that has a light transmission of less than 80% at a wavelength from 700 to 710 nanometers and is chemically bonded directly to a thermoset polyurethane opaque area; (b) an aperture-free removable release sheet covering at least a portion of said back surface of the polishing layer; and (c) an adhesive layer interposed between said polishing layer and said release sheet; said adhesive layer capable of adhering the polishing layer to a platen of a CMP apparatus after said release sheet has been removed.
