    摘要: A polishing pad includes a polymer matrix and polyhedral oligomeric silsequioxane (“POSS”) molecules or soluble particles and a surfactant dispersed within the polymer matrix. A polishing pad can be formed by casting a liquid polymer on a conveyer belt having a casting surface with a set of projections and curing the liquid polymer on the conveyer belt such that a polymer matrix has a surface with a second set of projections complimentary to the first set of projections.

    摘要: The embodiments of the invention generally relate to a method and apparatus for processing a substrate with reduced fluid consumption. Embodiments of the invention may be beneficially utilized in chemical mechanical and electrochemical mechanical polishing processes, among other processes where conservation of a processing fluid disposed on a rotating pad is desirable. In one embodiment, a processing fluid delivery arm assembly is provided that includes a nozzle assembly supported at a distal end of an arm. The nozzle assembly includes a nozzle that is adjustable to control the delivery of fluid exiting therefrom in two planes relative to the arm. In another embodiment, processing fluid in the form of electrolyte fills holes formed at least partially through the pad as they enter the wet zone, and a current is driven through the electrolyte, filling the holes between a substrate and an electrode disposed below the surface of the pad.

    摘要: Embodiments of a conditioning head for in-situ conditioning and/or cleaning a processing pad of a CMP, ECMP, or other processing system are provided. In one embodiment, the conditioning head includes a brush disposed in a central cavity. A cleaning fluid is provided through the central cavity of the conditioning head to a processing pad. The brush spins and moves laterally across the surface of the processing pad. The cleaning solution dispensed through the conditioning head dissolves by-products of the processing operation while the brush gently wipes the processing pad. A lip of the conditioning head retains the cleaning fluid and cleaning waste, thereby minimizing contamination of the area outside of the conditioning head. The cleaning waste is removed from the processing pad via passages formed near the outer periphery of the conditioning head.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for electrochemically processing metal and barrier materials is provided. In one embodiment, a method for electrochemically processing a substrate includes the steps of establishing an electrically-conductive path through an electrolyte between an exposed layer of barrier material on the substrate and an electrode, pressing the substrate against a processing pad assembly, providing motion between the substrate and pad assembly in contact therewith and electrochemically removing a portion of the exposed layer during a first electrochemical processing step in a barrier processing station.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for evaluating a conditioned electrochemical mechanical polishing pad are provided. A polishing pad is conditioned using a first set of process conditions. A sheet wafer and a residue wafer are polished on the polishing pad. The removal rates of one or more materials from the sheet wafer and the residue wafer are measured. A normalized removal rate is calculated. The polishing pad is further conditioned if the normalized removal rate is not within a minimum value and a maximum value. In one embodiment, the normalized removal rate comprises a ratio of the removal rate of the residue wafer to the removal rate of the sheet wafer.
