    摘要: An improved chemical mechanical polishing apparatus for planarizing semiconductor surface materials. The single rotating polishing platen with an attached pad of conventional CMP processes is replaced with two controlled independently driven, concentric and coplanar, polishing platens. The two co-planar polishing platens allows for separate adjustable options to the CMP polishing process. The options are provided by having pads of different material compositions and hardness. Moreover, an annular space is provided between the platens to introduce the usage of two slurry formulations, one to each pad, on the same CMP tool. The annular space between platens forming a drain path for catching and containing slurry waste.

    摘要: A new apparatus is provided that allows for uniform polishing of semiconductor surfaces. The single polishing pad of conventional CMP methods is divided into a split pad, the split pad allows for separate adjustments of CMP control parameters across the surface of the wafer. These adjustments can extend from the center of the wafer to its perimeter (along the radius of the wafer) thereby allowing for the elimination of conventional problems of non-uniformity of polishing between the center of the surface that is polished and the perimeter of the surface that is polished.
