    Abstract: The chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) of products in general and semiconductor wafers in particular is controlled by monitoring the acoustic emissions generated during CMP. A signal (54) is generated with the acoustic emissions which is reflective of the energy of the acoustic emissions. The signals are monitored (75) and the CMP process (48/52) is adjusted in response to a change in the acoustic emission energy. Changes in the acoustic emission energy signal can be used to determine the end-point for CMP, particularly when fabricating semiconductor wafers for planarizing/polishing a given surface thereof. Long-term changes in the acoustic emission energy signals resulting from process changes including, for example, wear of the polishing pad (20), can also be detected with the acoustic emission energy signals so that desired or necessary process adjustments, such as a reconditioning of the polishing pad (20), for example, can be detected or the process can be stopped or an alarm signal can be generated when unacceptable process abnormalities occur.

    Abstract: A truing and dressing machine for profiling an abrasive wheel. The truing and dressing machine includes a truing wheel assembly for positioning the truing wheel relative to an abrasive wheel mounted on an abrasive wheel spindle. The truing wheel assembly includes a truing wheel swivel located between a truing wheel spindle housing and a reciprocation slide that is attached to an infeed slide. An infeed slide swivel is located between the infeed slide and a bottom support swivel plate which is rotatably connected to a base plate. Utilization of both an infeed slide swivel and a truing wheel swivel allows for dressing both sides and the face of the abrasive wheel without having to remove, flip, and reinsert the abrasive wheel into the machine.
